What about in the city when pedestrians just walk across the road against a red man and expect you to just wait?

AU peds have right-of-way at any intersection (not just in the city).

Sure, the attitude perhaps should be adjusted (try doing that on a motorcycle!:)) but

perhaps they just know the law and are exploiting it to its potential?

Regards,

Regardless, they should not be jay walking in front of cars, that's just asking for a Darwin award, I remember this idiot in Hornsby who thought that he would wait until AFTER the lights went green for cars. Walked out in front of a bike and the guy on the bike gave him an earful. He responded by making a gesture at the guy on the bike so he promptly ran over his foot!! :)

I'll bet he learned his lesson after that... Probably broke his foot too.

I like how everyone has excluded Taxi Drivers from the thread.

It's like ppl have given up slinging shit at them, and just keep a wide berth when encountering one.

By far the worst, most unpredictable drivers on the road. I have noticed the following regular behaviour

1. Drift lanes randomly...

2. Stop suddenly because that Post Box on the side of the road looked like a potential fare.

3. Braking while foot on accelerator (wtf?)

4. Speeding when empty and driving 15k's under speed limit with a fare

5. Changing lanes into other cars ( i swear they do it on purpose)

And finally a pearler... One night after a big night at the ARTHOUSE (don't ask), I was catching a cab with my ex. We hailed down one dude, opened the doors, when BAM!!, a silver service statesman rear-ended the cab we hailed without braking at all. He also had 3 ppl in the cab. After getting over the shock of it all and calming down the gf (understandably upset at having a hectic accident happen right in front of us), I couldn't help but think "is it Karma?" 2 cabbies took each other out.

anyway, Taxi = stay Away!!!

I find that being anywhere near 4WD vehicles around Syd is totally f**ked.. these motherf**kers think they own the friggin road.. if you happen to be behind them, ya can't see shit ahead and, at night.. because their lights are up high, they blind the crap out of you if ya happen to be in front of one.... they should have their own lanes :):rant:

YES!!!! it really sucks having to drive behind a 4WD as you cannot see past them at all these days. and like you mentioned at night with their high headlights they blind the fck out of you.

all the taxi driver rants are true too. most taxi drivers I've been with are shocking drivers. they brake all the time at weird moment, then violently accelerate, then have to brake again. they seem to have no forward planning and no judgement either they seem to have no idea about distances etc. really weird. I would think driving all day every day would make you a better driver...

Ok,

My experience from weekend....

7 of us SAU'ers went to VIC and back...

got into VIC and relised most people were laid back, people doing the limit, not even!

(although those 2 skanks in the daewoo needed a shotgun....) but as soon as I got back into NSW there were people sitting in righthand lane only while NOT overtaking and sitting at like 10 under the limit....then you get others tail gating, others doing like 20-30 over the limit!

Oh, and Corinne and I saw a classic....

traffic in M5 - dickheads would merge from right handlane, cut others off, and take an off ramp and almost cause more accidents, THEN.....a guy was 100m AFTER an exit and reverses back - so I yell out and abuse him.

sydney - teh suck

agreed about 4wds!!! they annoy me! especially when you have to rely on them to be observant about whats happening in front of them!! I think they should force anyone that buys one to do a course and attend at least 4 offroad events! thats what they were made for, NOT city driving!

Ok

driving to work this week in my skyline i am finding that people are very rude when it comes to letting you in and cutting you off by being smart asses. In the last 2 years i have owned an xr6 turbo and xr8 but had non of this problem.

What i want to know is what why do they do it to people who drive imports, i had the same problem with my 32 gtst and WRX. You see on the news and Today toight about hoons well how about the people whop are true car enthuists who get abused just for driving normal

Ahhhhhhh that feels better

Does anyone else have this problem

funny, i'm in melb and every car i see with nsw plates seem to be driven by assholes...

must be a sydney thing...

not sure if anyone has said this, but how annoying is it when you indicate to change lanes... there is a reasonable gap, but the person in thhe other lane will always speed up to close the gap!!! :D

I have a baseball bats reserved for people like that.....happens EVERY TIME to me, I would indicate for 5-10 seconds and they always close the f**king gap........half the time I end up having to floor the car in order to change lanes.

I never see much of this. I guess commuting less than 7km total every day helps...

haha, i do that too :unsure: except its 7 minutes away, through backstreets and a set of lights at 50ks an hour :)

next suburb job ftw! :D

this threads funny btw...

one thing i do want to rant about is the people that dont let others in... anywhere...

theres like an unspoken law of 1 for 1... you let 1 person in then go yourself... if not, your an asshole/bitch... its only one f**king car space...
