HOOORAAAAAAYY!!!!!!

I'm getting better at these rants.

Short one this time

Whilst driving to work on my 40 minute trip to the Hell Hole of Coles-Myer incorporated, I encountered a lovely geriatric who decided that in a 110km zone (roughly about 55-60 miles per hour I think), he decided that it would be FUN to do 70km p/hr. How overly safe of this person, you might say!

Yes, of course, safe; tell that to the 5 other cars behind me flashing their lights and telling me to overtake on a busy road where the only gaps were about 5 seconds between, and my little Kalos has crap accelleration, so excuuuuuuuuuse me, Mr. Commodore rev head who can go from zero to bitch in less than ten seconds! Roar past and waste your $1.62 p/L petrol, I prefer to NOT die today, thanks!

Luckily, able to overtake this cretin, continuing on my merry way doing 120 because I was LATE for work at that point, I encounter another fun driver! ANOTHER! HURRAH you say! This one decided to reduce their speed to 2KM in the slip lane to turn off, causing my little Jaffer to nearly REAR END the bastard, and follow along pitifully chugging in 2nd gear as yes, I do drive stick.

This idiot soon accelerated while turning the corner, yay for that, then decided to stop---- IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRICKEN ROAD!!! What else could I have done but cross into the other lane to overtake him and avoid MY car being rear-ended. THE NERVE OF THE A**HOLE THAT GAVE ME THE FINGER IN THE ONCOMING LANE AS HE WENT PAST! I wasn't even close, I was less than close, I went back into the other lane, and he passed by me, more than 10 seconds later.

Hooray, 2 in one day! BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

The geriatric in the beaten up, old Commodore that had seen better days. What you say, another Commodore? Indeed, my learned friend!

Here's how an Australian roundabout works:
1, drive up to the roundabout and brake to check for oncoming traffic
2, give way to your right
3, drive around the roundabout and on your merry way
4, INDICATOR!

Well. This lovely geriatric decided to stop at the roundabout. Yes, very law abiding, stop and LOOK FOR THE NON EXISTANT ON COMING TRAFFIC FOR FIVE MINUTES WHILE I ON THE LEFT HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GIVE WAY AND WAIT!

I got stuck behind this lovely person, all the way to my work, the lovely woman who decided NOT to use her indicator when she turned, and did a terrible parking job near mine. Needless to say, I refused to serve her.

HOORAY FOR NATIONAL IDIOT DRIVERS DAY!!!!

IT COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR!

Everyone gets a free pass today. Tomorrow, I'm rear ending someone and driving away- make no mistake. My little Jaffer will have revenge on the aging population of Australia.

Isn't it Coles Group? XD

Sounds like a rough day on the road. I can't really sympathise, as I don't drive. So I shall sit, nod, and mutter under my breath at slow driving people even though I take the tram to work.

It has a bell, and makes people get out of the way. *nods*

Where I live, everyday is national idiot driver's day. I can't stand it! I haaaaaaate bad drivers. Use your mofoing turn signalllllll!!!!!

lol Sammy you're going to die of a heart attack one of these days.

But I completely and utterly sympathize with you, Mama Hen. We had a national survey taken a few weeks ago and according to said national and official survey, my state has the worst drivers. =]

And the worst city to drive in? My city. ^__^
Then again we're the worst because we drive to kill one another and for some reason we forget that the world is round and there is always going to be someone in front of you. You're never first. This isn't a race, you orangutan.

Old people need bikes. >>
They need to like...stay home or something.

Alas, this is not my rant. I just came to say it's okay! Be thankful that ya got to work at last and you only suffered 2 dumb asses. =] And ya didn't get rear ended. Then by all means...punch a baby, as Dane Cook would say.

You definitely are getting better at these rants! *secret thread stalker of The Breed's rant threads*
Anyhow, I don't drive, so I can't totally symphathize, but my parents are very good drivers, and are always pointing out drivers' mistakes whilst in the car. They hate bad drivers, and always complain about them. XD I myself prefer the bike, thank you very much. But I will be getting my care -thank god!- when I'm sixteen! (One more year!) Woot!

Yes. But so many drivers out there are stupid. Just think of it this way - you're much better than them. Be proud!

I guess I shouldn't be mad at the old people. I mean, 3/4 of them I do serve at my work.

Hmm yeah... Coles Group limited XD I'm too stuck in the old days when our discount card used to work at Myer. I miss my 5% discounted perfumes of wide array and assortment!

Ohh, I'm being stalked too ^___^ Awesome.

I feel a bit better, except that I ran into another stupid idiot driver today. Turns out, it was Idiot Driver's weekend---- My bad!

*grumbles* I think I'll just take the bus into work from now on, at least people get out the way because the disgruntled driver is too pissed off to actually stop for them!

Come to my town. There is an idiotic driver on ever corner - or at least running every stop sign on every corner.

I hear you on the indicator issue. Nothing annoys me more than people who don't indicate going off a round-a-bout. It takes like two seconds to flick it on, surely they can spare that? Gah!

Ack, I know exactly what you mean. I hate when someone just veers out of a roundabout without indicating. I always end up, like, almost ramming the person in front of me.
