1. Can't stand careless drivers who won't stay in their lane.
In my bus driving days on a couple of occasions , the other driver deliberately steered sharply into my lane, out of spite, in response to my tooting at them.
2. This is prevalent of late. Doesn't help when the car companies insist on lighting the dash up at all times.
Is it hard to incorporate a warning buzzer when low daylight is detected or to have auto headlights at all times too?
3. I pulled next to yet another guy looking at his phone while we were both head of the queue at a set of lights. When I motioned him to keep his eyes on the road he begrudgingly put his phone down with a face like "huff, what's the big deal everyone does it".
4. In the YouTube comments I read one post saying if the driver behind won't adjust his distance to the speed, he will adjust his speed to the distance of the driver behind.
I tried that the other day and sure enough it eventually worked. Key is not to use the brakes to slow down (where safe).
I am concerned that the wrong guy won't react so well. Australia is a bully-ish culture.
5. The 80km zone at the start of the M1 Sydney end at Wahroonga is another example of this. Almost no one obeys it and you get people tailgate you on the left or middle lane before tearing around you and people flashing their lights at you in the right lane even though you are not required to keep left yet.
NSW, the state that embraces mediocrity.
