Country driving skills ...
This ought to provoke a bit of *ahem* debate.
Article here.
Snippet: "Nearly all the drivers I saw that wanted to overtake the car in front drew up close – so close that sometimes barely a few metres separated the two cars travelling at 90 or 100 km/h. Next, when they came to a straight section of road, they took some time before realising that there was an overtaking opportunity. They then lunged onto the wrong side of the road, saw that it was clear and put their foot down to start the overtaking manoeuvre. Then when they were only just past the car they were overtaking, they cut back in. So, so bloody dangerous!"

. The author missed out the bit where if you do actually leave a four second gap between you and the vehicle in front at least two souped up Commodores or Falcons will try and fill the gap

Sounds like a lot of the drivers round here. I see nutters driving every day on my way to work.
