People that should be strung up from the nearest tree.

I've driven in Europe, UK, South America and America extensively and can confidently say that Australian drivers are amongst the worst in the world. As a segue from that if you hang out in the overtaking lane on freeways I want you hang yourself from the nearest tree.

Mate, was just thinking this after driving in Bangkok last week.

I said to a mate I was with ‘if this was back home we would’ve been in 10 road rage incidents in the last five minutes’ 😂

Here in Syd there is one breed tha I'm sure 90% of them have no feckin idea how to drive by rules yet they passed their license tests grrrrrrrrr
Plus so many are in large euro SUV's with all the tech still can't frigging drive !

haha Melb agree EZ, after all tese years I still forget I had to pull over the left wait, light change resume my RHand turn, only Melb could think of as such ffs.
 
9 out of 10 drivers rate themselves as 'above average' for driving competency.

Statistically 50% are below average.

Last year I just finished mma training with my mouthguard by my side, and I beeped at this guy in a ute who was clearly blind, and didn't see me. Instead of accepting accountability he got out of his car and tried talking shit smh

yeah can be quite aggressive.

Another time I was running late for work, and I usually don't do this but the guy in front of me was going well below the limit. So I was tailgating him to get him to go faster, anyway he kept slamming on his breaks so that I would crash into him. People are just weird down here lol

not just down there same applies up here.
People have gone off the deep end since covid so some say.
I think people have lost patience manners generally more than anything modern times.
Growth, too many cars, traffic increase's galore, roads are crap, cops can't cop, just look at all these demonstrations more and more today.
I don't mind IF they are peaceful for the good cause's but these DH's galore use the opportunity to cause more unrest and violence.
Thank christ for football viewing I say :) and GG !

There's 50 / 50 chance you're a 'below average' driver. Let's be honest maybe 1 in 100 would admit they're 'below average' let alone a poor driver.

The point being people overestimate their abilities.

I will happily admit I'm a poor driver. Prone to distraction and inattention. However knowing I'm a poor driver means I can try and pay more attention when I'm driving.

Australian's are generally okay on main roads but terrible in car parks...

Car park driving should be on the learner licence curriculum.
