Yes people that don't stay left unless overtaking can be frustrating sometimes.
People that don't indicate piss me off the most though.

Nar wats worse is when people are stoped and they try and merge into a lane that's doing the limit but pull out slow as

Happened to me once got off f3 south bound
I was right lane was empty apart from me and car a bit infront of me both doing 60
All cars stoped in middle lane the last one tryed to pull out between the car infront of me and me well ended up slamming on the brakes smoke EVERYWHERE and they just drove off like they did nothing wrong

i got a list of these

1. people who dont go the speed limit
if you want to go slower then pull over let everyone pass its basic manners.

2. people who dont merge at the speed limit

3. people who stay in the right lane when there is no1 in the left lane
late at night when there is no1 on the road you should never be in the right lane (unless turning right up ahead), once again its basic manners. if someone wants to come flying past you 200km/h then they should be able to.

4. l platers
if there are cars behind them that they are slowing down then they should pull over and let them pass.

5. truckies
just because they cannot f**king see me doesnt mean they can go into my lane

7. people who are lost or looking for something but refuse to pull over and let someone pass.
when someone is going 20km/h down a street its pretty obvious they are looking for something (i used to deliver pizza so i had to do it all the time) but when someone comes up behind you, you pull over straight away.

8. people who dont flash there lights to warn about police up a head

9. trucks and utes that have sh*t falling off the back of them

10. bike riders (not motorbike)

11. people who dont let other people in

12. people who you let in and then proceed to go 20km/h under the speed limit and make you question why you let them in in the first place

Ild have to say the bikes are the worst I work nights so I cop it every morning along the pacific hwy they take up the whole left lane so every car has to get into the right one
They should be baned off the roads unless it has a motor and can travel the speed limit
I was lookin at the bike spray paint out line the other week at the council site was thinking I really want to take it and spray them all over the pacific hwy and put big crosses threw them lol

Well if we can't see any thing in the lane we can move over. You should not sit in truckies blind spots and you will be fine.
What you should do is go for a run in a truck for a day and see what sh*t we have to put up with every day.
90% of the time truckies are in the right and the car drivers cause prangs and other things.

Befor you come back at me about this let me add there are some F...with truck drivers out there as well.

I'll also add having ridden on motorbikes on public roads.
Bikes don't have side body panels, we have loud exhausts for a reason. And if you do not look before merging, you will have your door kicked in!

there is 2 sides to every story I'm afraid people, and most people do not care about the others on the road simply due to arrogance or lack of natural selection.

I have to add to this, I also hate people that tail ride L platers, give them a break, once they stop freaking out that there are cars behind them, the decent ones will pull over and let you pass if they aren't doing the limit. I remember being an L plater, and when you are new to the road and people tail ride you it freaks you out. Now I'm teaching my gf, and whilst doing 5km over the limit a big 4WD came and tailrode her, just because she has that L on the back.

Have some decency, and cut them a break. They're trying to learn.

Note: I am NOT defending the annoying douche L platers who don't have decency of their own.

Drivers wishing to merge into your lane without indicating first, always gives me the sh*ts.

AHAHAHA!!!


but yeah, my philosophy is, If one is not in a hurry, then it does not always f-king mean that people behind you isn't too!

people not indicating should also be shot in the head - i mean, who knows when they are going to do it again! could happen when you are right next to them or happen to be in their blind spot at the wrong time when you had no intention of staying there too.
