How do you give way to the bus when the bus is next to you in the lane(i.e. fronts about even) and then decides to cross into your lane when you have no where to go? Had this happen to myself going past Doncaster a while back.

Wish it were that simple. Solid lines, In the middle of an intersection, I was up against a f**kin high gutter in the left lane. No where to go. Had I not backed off I would have had some nice new body work.

Guys I hear your pain. I have driven in all our lovely states and territories and I can tell you now that Perth is the up with the worst cities I have been in. People actually drive like wankers to piss you off. Example; 3 or 4 lanes and people are sitting in every lane going 80 or 90 kph in a 100 zone. They either don't see you coming at 100kph behind them or they don't care and they sure as f**k don't move. Sometimes they actually all slow down together

Another example that happens all the time is that some f**ker will be in the right lane in an 80 zone. They are going 50 or 60kph. I overtake on the left and the f**kers will actually speed up to block you. This happened last weekend and the wanker actually went from 50 kph to 100 to stop me getting around him. WTF???

Oh and people pull in front of you with only a meter or 2 gap and one flash of the indicator (if you are lucky) as they finish cutting you off. I had a dude miss me by less than a meter on Saturday and he pulled in front of me with no indicator and he swerved like an idiot too. I honked and when we were at the next lights the fat old mangina just glared at me.

On topic now The bus drivers here aren't too bad at all.

dude, get a dash cam, just ram the mofo and claim on his ass.

next time a bus driver is about to pull out of a bus stop, just stop next to him and slightly ahead of him just so he can't get out.

chuck your hazards on too. if he tries to reverse for room to pull out, reverse with him to keep blocking him off or there will

probably be other cars behind you to block him anyway, who are all probably beeping at you too. if he gets off the bus,

thats your green light lol

[RB2600]

been wanting to do that, but never had the balls to lol

only incident apart from buses pulling out of the bus stops right in front of me (over it now, used to it)

was when i was going down mc kimmies, towards the dysons depot. was doing the limit of 70 and a "not in service"

bus came from plenty road and sat right on my ass, left no more than a foot's gap. without hesitation, i slowed

down to just under 40 and by that time he was already tooting while i flicked the bird at him.

just as i expected he tries to go on the opposite lane so i just let it go, cos by the time, we were already approaching a

roundabout which he almost collected a corolla.

i have no problems with people driving quickly to get somewhere, because who knows, they may have a sick family member,

wife's giving birth, needs to take a dump whatever. but when people sit on your ass, that's a whole different story.
