Great. Now I'm REALLY looking forward to moving. I am usually fairly patient, but can't STAND "drivers" that can't drive.

You'll get used to them Jamila, just ignore and they normally go away and pester somebody else. I actually made contact with one of them once on SZ road doing 120!!!! :scared:

He was out to get me for whatever reason and he got really pissed and chased me down the road across 4 lanes!! He backed off when we made contact bless, frightened the life out of me but I was so mad at the time. Actually marked my car but only a little bit.

Best to just stay well away from any dark windowed cars!!!!!!

we were going down SZ road once in the fast lane and all of a sudden a troop of dark tinted 4WDs thundered past us on the service lane between the 1st lane and the concrete barrier....all had special plate numbers, aren't they meant to set an example to other drivers?

Another thing- how come people can't drive when it is rain/snow/anything out of the normal???????! The driving itself stays the same...
they freak at rain! and the raods have an oily film over them so it gets nuts when it rains then they do the hazrard lights... first time i saw it was the other day... quite amazing actually...
