Re: Aus vs UK Driving
Can't comment on the clip as my laptop has lost it's sound.
But come close to a rear-ending every other day in Oz.
Cue jokes of poor taste!

Re: Aus vs UK Driving
am in Adelaide and do the school run twice a day, a half hour drive across the city. Don't believe my driving style has changed after 20 years, but find tailgating and impatience is rife here.
But hey ho, I try and spread the love by letting people out when I can.

Re: Aus vs UK Driving
Nothing so trivial here. Crashes tend to be triple rollovers followed by explosions and fire. And usually the result of a pissed-up idiot getting behind the wheel and hurtling down some dark dirt track at 150km/h. I kid you not, this kind of thing seems to be in the paper almost every week!
And PS - no comment on the rear-ending. I am a gentleman after all.
