Re: Hope for the Hopeless...
Now Now Ladies,let us stop being childish!When you have driven quite a
few years I feel eligible to comment.(Yes,I have driven the Pacific
Highway in Oz).
Learn to relax when driving,take in life,you might not get where you
are going as quick but at least you'll get there!
Secondly Aussie drivers are crap and drive as if their arse is on fire 'to prove
they are more macho' the silly buggers and most think that their
indicators are to decorate the car.
We also have cretins driving around with stereos on full blast or with
air-spoilers on just to make sure their car does not take off when
they reach 200mph aroud the city streets.
