BUT I came across a pill in a Falcon tonight and he came within 6 inches of wiping the side of the new BF out - what is it with new cars do they have a badge to say HIT ME IM NEW
It was on the Anzac Ave off ramp from the Bruce hwy at Mango Hill I was just driving along Anzac Ave minding my own business when this "person" came off the off ramp and then proceeded to boot it across 3 lanes in one hit to get infront of other cars but the only problem was I was in the 3rd lane and lucky there was a forth lane that goes back onto the hwy and there was no one in there I had to take evasive action or I would of had into my passenger door a Monsoon Blue AU Falcon with a rebel rear bar Not only do you have to look out the the normal HOLDEN drivers but a FORDY should have more respect for the car next to them I wonder if this person is on AFF

Yeah, there are crazy drivers everywhere. I generally don't have many problems with holden drivers in particular...

I realise she is on a mission to change lanes and a bike ain't gonna stop her so I hit the brakes hard and miss by about 9/10ths of 4/5ths of stuff all. Next set of lights I lane split and pull up next to her. She's still on the phone and totally oblivious to my presence. Think one day I'll strap a camera to my helmet, and shame all such morons on youtube. |

Bad driving definately is not restricted to either Holden or Ford.
There are some shockers around here in both brands. For some reason, they can't seem to keep off my bumper! Cheers Darran

Have to agree with this thread. There is a Guy works near me who has a silver GTP, I work on Nomanby Rd, South Melbourne. Had to round me up using a tank of juice to get on the Westgate Fwy a nano second in front of me, cut me of, almost ended up under a semi trailor then and almost ran up the **** of a low loader semi. There was enough room for one car, I had to go into the emergency lane. Twenty mins later I passed him, pulled over reading his melways near Sunbury. He wont find the after life in there, lol.
I just leave plenty of space arround me and watch everyone else like a hawk. Didnt see this GTP coming though. If the guy is on this forum I will just let you actions speak. Steve |

Doesn't matter who it is, or what they drive. They stay away from the Ford though. |

Mercedes and Volvo drivers are the worst. Mercedes are selfish and never let anyone in, and think they have a god given right to do what they want. Volvos are slow, sit in the wrong lane, dont indicate, they live up to their name in every way.

Years ago, I was still driving my KF Laser. There was bumper to bumper traffic and my lane ended so I had to merge. Bloke in a Mercedes of some sort refused to let me merge. Traffic would have been going 25km start/stop. I couldnt give a stuff and basically threw my car in there as soon as there was a gap in front of him.
Some drivers out there need to realise that letting one car in front of you doesnt cause the planet to spontaniously combust.

Funny thing is that some of these speeding drivers will want me to move into the middle lane for them to speed off. ![]()

You should have tapped on her window and let her have a mouthful. I've done that. These idiots need to be educated.
