    my hate is when there is a turning lane... theres nearly enough room for me to squeez into it and turn... but the person in the forward lane is in the middle of the road n blocks it off... like if theres a turning lane and im stopped beside the entrance i make sure i leave as much room as possible for people to squeez in... just a chronic pet hate

    Part of being a good driver is being able to drive around other people/cars/objects on the road without getting angry. And I am sure you hope others would do the same when you have to stop for some reason.

    In the northern hemisphere there is alot less light in the winter and it is common for everyone to drive with their headlights on. If people want to do that in Australia, then it's not a bad thing. They can do it if they want.

    Ever tried to see a yellow car coming at you with afternoon sun behind it?

    I drive with my lights on in the arvo for that reason, no-one can see me.

    A quote comes to mind about other peoples driving habits here:

    "It's hard to soar like an Eagle when your surrounded by Turkeys"

    what can you do? Deal with it and just know that your a more conciencious driver than they are (they are fukwits basically).

    silvia's always drive with their foggies on.... maybe they think its cool. doesnt really make me angry at all but just something i noticed. i cant stand how everyone in queensland cant merge when a lane ends.... seriously if the speed limit is 80 everyone will slow down to like 50 or worse just so people can merge. instead of leaving room for them so they they can merge easily qld drivers choose to drive right next to them and at the last minute they realise there is a lane merging even tho there is plenty of signs beforehand.
    i read a article in the paper that said only 1 in 5 qld motorists new the rules regarding merging lanes.
    this really grinds my gears.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Rich_86 @ Dec 23 2007, 10:54 AM) </div>all volvo's and new subaru's turn their lights on when the cars turned over

    I am assuming other new cars do this as well

    its a safety feature, helps it achieve the 5 star rating they boast about
