kramo Member 163 Member For: 21y 5m 19d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 30/04/04 10:22 AM Share Posted 30/04/04 10:22 AM use your indicators, give way when you're supposed to and keep out of the overtaking lane, then there shouldn;t be any 'road rage'.And don't drive up people's arses!!!!!!I've been trying to educate my troops at my new station to go out on the M4, sit in the Number three lane doing 15-20 over, making sure that the sign on the roof bar "Keep left unless overtaking" is illuminated and booking all the people that use the overtaking lane unnecessarily.That's beautiful. Even better, do it without the sign on, or even better again, in an unmarked car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stang Donating Members 1,353 Member For: 21y 15d Location: Melbourne Posted 30/04/04 03:56 PM Share Posted 30/04/04 03:56 PM ok This is my only Question if you r in an 80 k zone and you r doing 80k as you are driving at the legal speed limit why do people overtake. you may have a right hand turn coming up or as a sales rep I might be looking for a street to turn into in the next 300 metres and your not sure so your in that lane so you dont miss it.. It has been said on this site if u go over the speed legal when overtaking you are still speeding and will be booked. Problem is that everybody wants to be the lead driver on the road.people become abusive because they beleive they have a wright to be in front of you.People are impatient /then you have speed cameras then you have old people on the road being bullied by dickheads etc. I drive at the legal speed limit because I cant afford to lose my license and some people critsize my driving because if it says 60 I do 60 etc theres times when I creep over but btw keeping your eyes on the road the car in front of you pedestrians it happens.I would love to drive my T fast but unless I put it on the track it wont see more than 110k. Anyway my 2 cents but road rage is about people thinking they have more rights than other people in sharing the road.regardsStang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever wondered why there is traffic congestion on these motorways? The reason is because people won't keep keft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the ACT I think the keep left unless overtaking is in effect for speeds above 70km/h, so here the 80km zones are effected.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 01/05/04 12:24 PM Share Posted 01/05/04 12:24 PM I think they should bring ion new laws. 1) if people sit in the fast lane and either go below the limit or sit next to other traffic, at the first opportunity you should be able to drag them out of their cars and beat them senseless.2) Trucks should be banned from the 3rd lane. I kinow they are doing a job, but there is nothing worse than 3 truck driving next to each other up a hill. Same penalty should apply. (if its a big mean truckie we should be able to enlist as many friends as nessecary to carry out punishment).Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
