Some People !! |
Fri 04 Aug 2006 06:27:33 PM |
I start work early ( like 6am) and speed limits don't mean much around Perth at this hour. This dude in a lowered Daihatsu Charade, loud exhaust, alloys had a go at me this morning. We both passed a truck, me in front, him behind. After we passed, single lane both ways, he flashed his lights and was right up my tail pipe.( which I hate)Wanted to pass but oncoming traffic. About 100meters further on road split into dual. Well he pulled out to pass so when he was level I slipped down a cog and gave Whitey the boot. Man he disappeared so fast backwards it was not funny.
Hopefully he will have more respect for Micras in future. |

I have a funny one. I was sitting at some lights going left, but forgot to have my indicator on.When a Ferrari Spider 360 pulled up next to me. I had my music on loud and he had his girl next to him. Naturally I had to test my new exhaust. This got his attention. He started to rev it as well. The lights went green and I turned left when he burnt off and went strata on passed a speed camera!

Yesterday I was in the right lane on the freeway in peak traffic so theres not a huge amount to gain by going fast, right? So I was doing a little under 110km/h because the right lane is a little faster. Anyway, this Hilux with a big trailer comes up behind me and starts flashing his lights while im overtaking someone in the centre lane. So I continue staying in the lane but let him see me flip my rear view mirror. He settles down and I get into the centre lane ASAP. 1km down the road we all come to a great big halt (peak traffic) and hes sitting there trying to get into the centre lane! I take the opportunity to let him in. He gives me a wave and away he goes.
I think people would be alot nicer if they were a little bit smarter. The calculated difference of going 50km at 100km/h is 30mins. Going 110km/h is 27minutes. Thats precicely STUFF ALL difference. And yeh, I agree, Perth drivers are crap. |

I hate it when people are coming from behind at the lights and they try and get around you because they assume the little car is going to be slow. I always take off and pace match with them. Just to give them the shits. lol I really shouldnt do it but meh, it keeps me entertained.

Yeah know what you mean Yom. They think because its small they should pass it.
I must admit 90% of the time I am a good driver, let people with indicators on change lanes etc, give people waves and smile. Reckon if I do this it might spread. Every now and then the eyes glaze over when its a total and utter idiot. Yeah whats with Perth drivers?? Indicators are optional,cut you off,a lot of truck drivers are just bully boys,and half the drivers their minds are elsewhere. Maybe I am not used to city traffic but have driven in Melbourne, Sydney and find that more easy. In Perth they are either half asleep or on a mission to get there no matter what. |
