Thanks to the delightful (not) fellow Brit driver
 
....who pulled out in front of me at the petrol station yesterday instead of obeying the "give way".

When I committed the hideous crime of beeping, he stopped his 4WD at the junction to get out and berate me.
He then accused me of going too fast to stop----errrm mate you were the one who failed to give way, and I had the right of way.

And double thanks for upsetting my 2 year old who asked: "why that man shout mummy?':frown:
And a special thanks for then blocking the intersection to make sure I, and the cars behind me, could not join the Westgate freeway traffic just because you wanted to piss me off.

Yes you are an idiot who cannot drive and then plays stupid games and frightens small children. Why question that you are an idiot? It is obvious.

I feel better now....

I have to say out of all the Ozzie cities I've visited (Perth, Brissie and Sydney) Melbourne drivers are the worst. Probably because it's so frustrating driving in this place.....I now hate traffic lights with avengence - you get one red on a journey into the city you get them all and at some junctions you can be waiting for hours for your turn so everyone gets ratty.

Have to say the lane changing on the 4 lane Nepean Highway is the scariest - you have to keep your wits about you!

Aussie driving in general is pretty bad. Maybe its just my experience but hardly anyone acknowedges if you let them in & tailgating seems to be a national pastime. Sydney for me the worst, esp in the western suburbs, countless little d**kheads in their little souped up tincans , not afraid to give you the finger (at the very least) if they're in the wrong & you beep.

Don't you know it's safer to drive your car on a race circuit.;)

I drive around a lot with my HD camera on and record these numpty drivers. And that's in the UK where driving is supposed to be civil.
