Title: Road users... Post by The Grappler on Aug 19th, 2022 at 7:54pm
Still chortling - had a Speedy Gonzales race up behind me in the 100 zone on the way home from town tonight... tail gating, swinging left and right and desperate to get past... zoom zoom... took a chance on a head-on to get by me on a straight, then went into the next 60 zone at over 75 ....
Sadly the cop in the unmarked car was sitting there waiting for just that kind of fool.... hit his red and blue lights, I braked and pulled over so he could get on the road from the other side, then he howled off... shortly later there was Gonzales pulled over... I slowed to the required 40 kpm for an emergency vehicle etc - the cop gave a friendly wave. Wonder if that guy was over the limit as well? Still laughing - I hate hoons and tail-gaters.... my terr-uh-tree with the lights and such looks like a cop car.... seen it before with a cop giving a wave. BTW - loving my new suspension with the top grade springs now.... bewdiful on the corners and ride... still running at 8.2l/100 town and bush - that's 36mpg for a big car with all the mod cons. Not bad. |

It's not done in civilised society..... though the concept of arming Boomers and old folk for self-protection is not too far out... had a case here where some dork abused a really old guy parking his car as only a genuine oldie can do - four or five shots at it - and to his credit, a rather large young local lad went to the dork and flattened him. The cops charged the dork - no difference anyway - such a long sheet he just got out in no time anyway... beyond curing... |

had a similar experience on my way from Musswellbrook to tamworth once. Dickhead in a ute, complete with a set off bulls horns bolted to his bonnet, was riding right up my arse at 110km/hr. I couldn't even see his front bumper bar he was that close. It was dusk and I was worried about roo's jumping out on the road in front of me. Normally I would have slammed on my brakes but I had the kids in the backseat and the wife in the passenger seat so it wasn't an option. Dickhead sat there for over 10 minutes. Eventually he overtook and then few kilometers down the road i went over a crest to see flashing blue lights and the dickhead in the ute pulled over. :D |

Just slow down when that happens. Gentle enough so they do not rear end you. They will fall back a bit. When they do, accelerate. When they start to catch up again, turn your headlights on and accelerate at the same time. They will think you are breaking and break hard, and fall a long way back. Next time they come up behind, ease of the accelerator a bit just as they approach, so again they have to break hard, then floor it just as they break so again you create a big gap between you. Keep alternating between the two and they will get sick of tailgating very quickly.

You'd slam on your breaks doing 110kph with a car right on you? Are you functionally retarded? (rhetorical question) Getting nudged from behind at that speed could easily cause you to loose control and drive into oncoming traffic. |

Let them pass, get their rego and call nearest police station. Tell them the driver is driving erratically and seems intoxicated.

Title: Re: Road users... Post by Jovial Monk on Aug 20th, 2022 at 8:07pm
Then there are the opposite kind of drivers. On a highway outside metro areas they will do 10, 15kph under the speed limit. Then you see a passing lane starting and think you can overtake the slowcoach—BUT the deadshits then speed up to the road limit so you cannot legally pass them.
I have copped this a couple of times driving back to Adelaide from Melbourne and all I can think of is the hundreds of kilometers I still have to drive before I can get home. |

Had some dickheads in a car tailgating my mate and I between Rockhampton and Mackay. They gave us a bump from behind for no reason and laughing and giving us the bird, we could see (me driving: rear vision mirror). So me mate pulled out his shotgun and as he leaned out the window with it to take a shot at the grill. The tossers slammed on their brakes in fear and nearly rolled it. No shot needed. ;D

I have GAU-8 Avenger 30-mm (as used in an A-10 Warthog) fitted rear facing in my car, so when a ute with air hornes on the bonnet is tailgating me doing 110kph, instead of slamming on the brakes John Smith style, I unload 65x30 rounds per second into them. |

Cool! 8-)
Many times I've always kept a Shaving Gel canister in my driver's door. Whenever I get some idiot trying to 'ave a go'. I just reach out my window with the canister and let it go. Many think I'm pulling out my pistol as I take a quick look behind to aim. They brake and back off. Others who don't react get a windscreen covered in gel lather regardless of their wiper's efforts. ;D F*uck em! :P |

John Smith probably has a bucket of meatballs on the driver's seat for his snack, and when a car starts tailgating him at 110kph he reaches into the bucket and gets ready to chuck one but just can't bring himself to wasting it so shoves it in his gob. |

I go past them anyway - easy to do with the turbo... used to be a pain when I did long distance in a Hi-Ace van with the guts of a worm.... you just didn't have the grunt to get past an idiot like that. If anyone makes an issue of it - I always drop back to the limit once past - I just say 'passing safely and he accelerated, so I had to get past him asap .. safety requires that you pass quickly and get back to the correct side of the road'.... That guy last night might have thought I was in league with that cop when the cop waved to us. It's a beaut unmarked car - just looks like a grey sedan.... mine is a white Terr-uh-tree as you know with lights on the front for vision for our deer and kangas etc... looks like a cop car - ex-government vehicle with spots for wahlesses and such .... hmmmmmm..... just hmmmmmmm....... some department nobody ever heard of.... |

A year or two ago I was on a long straight stretch of country highway, very little traffic. Idiot comes up behind me and is sitting on my arse. The speed limit was 100 and I was doing 105 - I checked because this fool was so close.
Sure enough he overtakes, goes past me and also decides to go past a car about 100 metres ahead of me as well. By this time there is a slight curve in the road and around it comes another vehicle. Idiot is right next to the car in front of me and can't pull back into the lane. Instead he goes off the road to the right, barely missing a head on with the oncoming car. Never a copper around when you need one. |

If you deliberately do 80 in a 110 lane then you're a farrk wit of the highest order. You need to be run off the road and die. ;D
Life has been engineered to be fast paced. People need to meet stupid deadlines, all within the law. They don't need you antagonising them. Not only that, you may end up hurt. In saying that, you drive like a maniac then you are the farrkwit of the highest order. No need to kill someone to be the first at the next set of lights. Chill out man, but work hard and meet your deadlines. Best thing ever is having the cars do 10kph more than trucks on the M1 between Brisbane and goldy . Bloody awesome idea. I hope they run the Bruce the same up to gympie, or at least Noosa. |

You're a total retard, but we always knew that. Slamming on the brakes at 110 would constitute dangerous driving which is a criminal offense, not a traffic offense. You mentioned it's what you'd usually do, so that means you've done it before so you're officially a retarded criminal. Don't breed Don't drive |

You oughta try it on the Pacific... I've been running downhill and entering what I know is a 100 zone where a cop hides - and had a truck pacing me and out-running me - had to be hitting 115 and smart-arsing as well - herh-herh-ing over those cars in his way etc... bloody idiot - if he hit one he'd be in the biggest world of hurt. Same with idiots who tail-gate... told yez about the horses that ran onto the highway once and were hit by a truck and one bounced off into an overtaking very small car.. imagine an old lady having a flying horse come right at her little red car? When that truck or that lady hit the skids - how would a stupid tail-gater go - other than fined. They have signs on the highway telling people how far to stay back in 110 zones between lines marked on the road for their convenience - so the idiots might have a chance to work it out - this is not Marrickville Road peak hour... you stuff up out here and you're likely dead and not just fender bent - doesn't affect them one iota... |
Title: Re: Road users... Post by Xavier on Aug 24th, 2022 at 3:32pm
The stupid thing about Australian Road Rules sometimes is
'give way to merging traffic'. Which, in the cities as you know - means 'speed up' so a merger can't get in front of you. Now this is dangerous because a merger finds it harder to look over R shoulder, than L shoulder - less visualisation. But here's the catch. In Australia the 'visual line of merging' CONTRADICTS the give way approach. In NZ the merging line cuts across to the right - which makes visual sense in support of the give way to merging traffic rule. Hence why in Australia, you see so many people 'stop' at the end of the merge waiting to enter right - for fear of those cars that do not slow, but speed up. Now correct me if I'm wrong - but it is 'safer' to give way to a merger (slow down, or at least don't speed up - to allow them to enter right) who is limited visually by looking over their right shoulder, etc. |
