Don't You Hate...

Don't you hate people who can't admit they've made a mistake or done something wrong? I realise that I'm not perfect here and will deny all responsibility for something until evidence to the contrary is in my face. But really, people, how difficult is it to driver properly.

Take this afternoon. Just now in fact. You follow a 4WD turning off the main road and he indicates. Then he wishes to make a lefthand turn to the first driveway available, slows down and fails to indicate thereby blocking the road for the driver behind him. Once it became obvious that he was turning I gave him a beep. Not a long, loud beep to indicate that I think he is a complete pratt, just a short one to indicate something dangerous has occurred. Hey, that's the only reason you are allowed to use the horn for anyway. What's the first thing the driver did? He stuck his arm out the window and gave me the bird. No guilt on his behalf. If it's so difficult to use a blinker to turn left why did he manage to use it for the previous righthand turn?

That's something that irks me about Perth drivers. I imagine that it is no different in any city of a reasonable size. People are too lazy to do the right thing and have no thought for others.

Cities of a reasonable size? You find that here on the villages also. Maybe on the villages it goes like that: Hey, that´s Heinz - he´s gonna visit Hugo, he´ll turn left the second one, ya know?
And over there, Jutta, well, you know...

Poeple slow down on the highway when they receive a phone call and stuff.
Driving is dangerous, I suppose :-(

Your sister reported a dopey dangerous driver this morning. He cut around the left of her while she had three children on board. Pillock!!! She was able to get his number and he was parked outside the police station. Yeess!
