Re: Thanks to the delightful (not) fellow Brit driver
We were driving back tonight along Princes Freeway.....pouring with rain.
Some driver in a whizzy car looks like (s)he took the on-ramp from Kororoit Creek road way too fast. The car was on the roof and 4 ambulances, several police cars were in attendance.
It does not look good, but I hope the driver is OK. (single car accident)

Shit thats absolutely appalling is'nt it?What a complete idiot!Feel so sorry for the family.On a more positive note TP I have enjoyed reading your replies to Polly on the happiness thread,what great reading!xxx Merry Xmas and thank god I don't have to drive anywhere for the next 48 hours!xxx
Yes that poor family ... my heart just goes out to them... People just don't grasp the consequences of their actions do they... until it's too late.
Well happy Christmas to you too and here's to safe driving...

Re: Thanks to the delightful (not) fellow Brit driver
I've learned not to beep my horn, unless the lights have gone green and the person in front of you is too busy doing their makeup, talking into their phone, picking their nose, reading a book/map to have noticed. I'm safe then as everyone else in the queue will also be beeping.
Having said that I find that some people do let you in, and it isn't really that different to the level of courtesy experienced in parts of the uk.
