Whilst the guy merging was legally required to give way, by driving without due care, and shutting the gap that was available for him to merge, YOU have made the issue larger than it needed to be. One second is all it would have cost you to let him in. Was your girlfriend impressed you got to your destination ONE SECOND earlier? i closed the gap b4 he caught up to me so he wouldn't have anywhere to go if he did try to push his way past, which he did, but there was no gap... |

The most visual colours are actually the least noticed The worst being Yellow (Came from my driving tutor) |

no, i caught up to a safe 2 second gap 2 seconds at 60 km/h is just over 33 metres, by my calculations. This is more than enough for an impatient driver to squeeze into, hense the reason why a lot of people tailgate. So either you are lying about the 2 seconds or the other driver was polite enough not to press the issue. |

had some f**kwit last night around 10pm in a white 89-92ish nissan hatch/sedan thing presuming it was a pulsar license plate started 727*** didn't get the rest. Anyways I just went over sundale bridge turning left and the little f**ks hit my drivers front guard with an egg i tried to turn around and give chase but i got every single red light. I hope i come across these guys again as i'd love to show them respect for others cars. And yes my s13 does look like shit ect... but they still had not right to f**king do it. |

The most visual colours are actually the least noticed I don't agree , at least from my point of view as people have no problem seeing my 2.9 Tonne bright yellow primer Bronco on8" lift with 35" wheels The worst being Yellow (Came from my driving tutor) If all else fails I figure the v8 will be heard |

Yellow XR8 (BA/BF) Gateway Motorway Saturday about 3:30pm I had my headlights on, driving lights on and in a dark car (was daylight but was mist on the road from rain) at 90Km/h decided wanted in the right lane even though was 500m to the car in front of him and kept coming over even after I hit the horn..only stopped coming over cause I ran out of road and had no where to go I already had the drivers side tires in the gravel. To make things worse he then stayed in the left lane for another 5 kilometres. Even an acknowledgment of wrong doing would not have gone astray. People that do the above are also useless drivers. |

People that do the above are also useless drivers. How did you reach that conclusion, I believe the law allows for the use of Driving lights in adverse conditions does it not? Your comments are usually valid and make sense but in this case sir, it was not either of the above. I believe that a mist coming off the road contributes for adverse conditions or should we start dobbing in every driver that has them on when what is essentially fog is covering the road...and FYI the driving lights are factory fitted Statesman so in no way shine higher then a headlight. I prob should point out that it wasn't a fine mist either. But the point of the rant was that some moron wanted to sit in the right lane for no reason at all and was obviously moving at less then the speed limit otherwise I would not have been overtaking. |

You are not allowed to use driving lights in traffic with vehicles infront or approaching from the opposite way of up to 200m, they are also bad in wet conditions as the light deflects off the road. |

I'm not sure about the 200m applying to driving lights, I know they do to spot light and the bigger yellow fog lights. |

Well, my rant for the month... Aimed directly at the lovely Police officer that decided he would use the system for his own personal benefit... My missus was driving down the Ippy motorway, and I admit, she might have gotten close to the car in front... But he was doing 30km under the speed limit, with no cars in front of him, in his little festiva... He waves his finger at my missus, and then when she passes, he starts waving his badge at her... Now as far as I am aware, he is only allowed to play the "I'm an off duty copper" card in certain situations where it is warranted, but this wasn't the case here.... So you would think this would be the end of it... Nope! I am at work at this time, I have heard from my woman about the situation... So I know her side of it... Then my mobile rings... It is this copper... He wants my missus to contact him regarding the situation, and if she doesn't by COB, he is issuing a fine... HA! He didn't like me asking about where he got my number, nor me asking if he has ever dealt with Internal Audit... The nail in the coffin was when I asked if he wanted to speak to one of his superiors about it, as I was working at the roma street branch at the time... He basically shit himself... Funny enough, no fine ever got issued, and I think he felt the power of internal audit raping him with no lube... Love this one. Reminds me of the many times that local cops would come into the Empire Hotel flashing their badges expecting free drinks and not just one or two,then they'd be so sozzled that they'd forget their badge wallets so I'd go and see their OIC with their badges in tow with the explanation as to how I had more than four or five warrant cards and badges. He would call them in one by one and ask where there I.D's were and then after their lame excuses provide the I.D. card on his table. Shortened the frequency of that particular little rort quite quickly. |

Hrmmmm I think the same little piggy got a friend of mine.. exact same car.. exact style of gastapo tactics used. I think this guy is riding these new lanes change/merge rules a little too hard. Rookie managed to get the address of the car and surprise surprise.. he comes home later that afternoon and there's a fine in the mail. Is that even legal to post a fine out? else everyone would be getting fines posted to them randomly!! |

Idiot little fuckhead in a small white car (maybe lancer?) exiting toowoomba heading out to warwick direction on sunday arvo, turned without indicating from the main road into a street heading towards industrial area, but apexed the corner for speed (massive body roll) putting himself deep into the wrong side of the road. There was a new suzuki swift coming the other way. Guy in white car is hard up on the wrong side of road, very close to gutter, if it wasnt for quick actions of swift driver (swift actions lol) there would have been a very bad accident. |
