i've lost count the number of times some crappy lancer/civic have come flying up behind me and sit off my rear bumper, then do some elaborate overtake, only to just go the normal speed in front of me....
but standards have dropped in general. Probably whats worse are the 18 year old P-plater chicks in their Yaris/Golf/Astra that daddy bought them - think they own the road. Had one cut me off yesterday flying up the inside - probably missed my front bumper by inches - and what happened in the end - got stopped by the same traffic lights anyway. Almost causing an accident to end up in front rather than behind. She moved over pretty quick though when she looked into her rear vision mirror and saw it filled up with ze big black car, me scowling and my wife mouthing "stupid f*cking b*tch"....

dont get me started on merging.. it seems everyone over here thinks its ok to enter the freeway at 60km/h and then they sit next to another car not speeding up or slowing down to get in front/behind causing both to brake heavy once the lane goes or forcing car to jump lanes making right lane slow.. (between hepburn and whitfords is the worst spot on it) i blame ppl with white perms driving camrys or 4wd mums or just dumbarses. you have to be doing 100km/h at the merge point or it will frig it up for everyone..
appologies for rant lol

Yes, all the time, shits me off to no end.
The thing that pisses me off the MOST is when driving the truck, you see the traffic stopped or moving slowler in front of you so you slow down so you dont have to come to a stop and idiots decide they want to merge in front of you, so they can get ahead of the 4 or 5 cars in front of them in their lane. usually means I end up having to stop anyway...
again while driving the truck, was driving onto motorway and the bitch in a crv behind me decided to cut across the striped white lines to get onto the motorway before me, cutting me and the car in front of me off, almost resulting in us both beind run off the road, and me coming very close to going into the back of a car with 4t of cardboard on the back of the truck. If horn worked in that truck I would have blasted the bitch.
all of the above happenned to me this morning in my 8km drive to work... the ones that piss me off the most:
- are the people who think that just because their indicator is on, they think the world stops just for them and they can move freely around the lanes.
- are the people who tailgate for no reason. I had a 4WD tailgate me for over 2km's when there was a perfectly clear lane next to me to drive in.
- are the people who close a 2.5 - 3 second gap between me and the car infront down to 0.5 seconds!
I think Sydney drivers are one of the worst around. After driving around in Newcastle all weekend, I enjoyed driving there moreso than Syd

ahh, nothing like a bit of road rage to start the day!
SA drivers get my vote for worst drivers in Australia (probably something to do with the large percentage of bogans), although I have never driven in WA.
What about the Victorian drift... Where 1/4 of their car veers off into another lane then back into their own. It's that consistent!

Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
