I don't know about you guys, but ever since I started driving my T I've noticed a severe downturn in the number of courteous drivers on the road when it comes to giving me a fair go.

Last night some complete f^ck decided to try to stop me changing lanes on the freeway - preferring to almost cause an accident. Today, when two lanes were merging and everyone is doing the 1 on 1 merge, this d!ck decided he wasn't letting me in.

Me... I have always been pretty courteous and fair to others. As far as I'm concerned I'm going to be one car behind them... so what. I'm still not going to be late for my destination.

And those wankers are sitting there thinking they've scored a major victory or something. Obviously they were abused children.

But really... is all this plain frigging jeapousy or are there just more compete morons on the road these days and I've only just started to notice them.

Interestingly, said d!ickwads were not driving nice cars or even Fords for that matter.

Anyway... that's my b!tch for the night.

that's the way Scootre, let it all out...let it all out

I think it's two things ... One, the general road manners are deteriorating very rapidly. This goes hand in hand with poor knowledge of the rules and the attitude of "I've got rights, who gives a sh!t about responsibility"? Second, if they see you have a "nice" car, they know you don't want it banged up so they will bully you if they can.

Get even - drive a bomb, don't look left or right, just pretend you are preoccupied with something else (anything but the road or traffic around you) and aim at expensive targets

Thanks turboman... yeah... I'll follow these ba$stards home and then take a note of their address... then I'll save up all my anger for 15 years time when my T is a complete bomb.

Then... I'll go around to their house with a BIG mutherfooking spikey bullbar on the front and wait for them to leave their house in their new car. Then... I'll follow them along for a while, pull up beside them and start shunting them off the road, screaming... "hey, remember me, assh0le?"

Cool.

Ahhh... I feel a lot better now.

Yeah scootre its a b**ch out there. You try should driving a semi in Sydney, you are coming up to a red light with plenty of room to stop then five f*&^wits fill the lane in front of you. Then what was an easy stop nearly ends in tears. But I must say I like the looks on people's faces in their mirrors when they see 42 tonne's bearing down on them

Hi Andrew

Those people who dive into a lane in front of a truck about to stop deserve the word "mack" imprinted on their arses.

Reminds me of a couple of months ago. The F3 southbound around Mt Kuring-gai came to a standstill because some dope had decided to change lanes as a semi was going past. Their small 4cyl car ended up with the nose crushed under the truck's rear wheels and the roof line half flattened.

I don't know the outcome health-wise of the occupant(s) but their underwear would have had a severe workout. Not a nice situation. The score was definitely truck: 1, car: 0.

Some people think that all they need is a 5 inch square piece of reflective glass to safely change lanes at 110kph.

Well my thoughts are that people in general are in to much of a rush to get where they are going these days. As a result you get the need to be ahead of every car that is around you as it is gonna save you that little bit more time.

Hey we work the longest number of hours of any country in the world on average every week trying to be better than each other. So when we get time off we need to fit so much in to a small time so lets all get there heaps faster.

Had a quick trip down to Burleigh yesterday for work (couple of hours cruising in the T with work paying for the juice - it was hard), and I was overwhelmed by the amount of idiots on the M1.

With the amount of eratic driving going on I was actually glad to be back at my desk, it's like being in a rally championship keeping out of harms way.

I think our great government needs to scrap the old "speed kills" campaign and replace it with "idiots kill" and throw a few resources at our driver training and licensing system.

Happens to me all the time mate. People suddenly wanna turn it into the V8 Supercars just because I am anywhere near them. These pieces of crap are driven by jealous and ignorant morons.

Last clown who pulled that sort of dangerous rubbish with me ended up with $800 worth of fines.

Shame we can't all do that

Had a good one today.

Driving down the highway and comming the other way was on Old Disel Trayback (patrol or cruiser) with a load of wood on the back that was turning off the road.

I always drive to the left hand side of the road (wide highway) and for some reason the car following the Trayback obviously took this as me asking them to pull out and overtake the truck before he had completely turned off the road!

So old mate Verada pulls out (god I hate Magna drivers!) IN FRONT OF ME!!!!! (yes that's right, before he is past me!) and proceeds to flash lights at me until I pull right over the unbroken line on my left and drive along the shoulder. He had *JUST* enough room to sqeeze past me and I could see him shaking his fist at me!

Bloody pig-arrogant idiot!
