No, not at all. That's a very odd conclusion to come to.

Actually to be fair I would say they could come from any country really. I learned to drive here but I honed by skills in the UK AND by using commonsense.

They are all shit here, scary as hell at over taking - don't have a clue as far as courtesy and thank you goes. Also have a lot of trouble staying in one lane longer than 12 seconds?

In the Northern Suburbs of Perth where you live roughly 20% are british, I still wonder how all you people who moan about driving standards can tell the nationality of the drivers who perform so badly.

I am not disputing there are some shocking drivers here but I can't tell by looking at the car what nationality they are.

I'm an Aussie and I wave to every driver that lets me in...which happens constantly (as well as not happening as well) which is far more times than the zero these forums would lead you to believe.
