I hate the idiots who dont give a poo about anyone else as their trip time is more important than yours... the classic example is the fools who overtake other people who are waiting to overtake from behind a slower truck.

Was cruisin down to Adel about 6 mths back and this fool in a boganised VT commy tried doing this I didnt see him and pulled out(was a line of cars behind me) he **** himself and locked on the skids ending up in a cloud of dust... ha ha
Pt Wakefield was just up the road so we pulled in went got some drinks"n"munchies then I see this fool pull in all huffy'n'**** he started ranting so I thought Im not gunna argue with this fool... quick coupla jabs he's on the ground wimpering like a true mummys boy!
Got the thumbs up from the old fella's who were sitting behind me on the hyway

gotta laugh at how drivers in the city and country are different.

I was looking for a small country town, about 100km away. Stopped at a servo for directions and a local over heard me.
I took him up on his offer of "follow me"

And after sitting on 160kph for an hour i certainly was thinking he must have said "TRY and follow me"

In Newcastle there is a 70 zone with 2 lanes, everyone does 75-80.
Then it drops back to 1 lane and the limit picks up to 80, everyone does 60, 70 if you are lucky.
Then it goes back to 2 lane, limit drops to 60 and everyone does about 70.

My theory is that cant handle the narrow 1 lane section. But once they get 2 lanes the road is now wider, so they seam to have more confidence.
