ROAD CHECKERS:
definition- idiots squeezing their cars in the tiniest gaps and changing lanes just to get through the traffic little bit faster than everyone else. RIGHT LANE HUGGERS: definition- idiots driving slow on the right lane TAILGATERS: definition- idiots driving so close behind your car that you can't even read their rego TERRIFIED MERGERS: definiton- idots too scared to merge at the proper speed, make everyone slow down DISTRACTED DRIVERS: definition- idiots reading, doing make-up, texting or talking on the phone while driving, especially on the Highway

Right lane hogs and terrified mergers have to be the most annoying they are rampant here in Victoria.
I think we would have alot less "road checkers" if we had less "right lane huggers" and people in general would drive at the speed limit, not 10-20 under it. |

Tailgaters - are they blind or aggressive? Either way they are accidents waiting to happen...
Me? I'm the perfect driver, you just ask me..... :

I hate it when I'm in the fast lane overtaking a car doing 5km under the limit and someone comes from behind at about 20km over the limit, tailgates impatiently, and when I do get to pull into the left lane said tailgater whizzes past only to slow down 50 metres in front to the signed speed limit. I can only figure this type of driver tries to use others as a shield from the cameras and gets shy when the lead vehicle.

distracted drivers for the win....or should that be loss?
anyways... while the others are all pricks, distracted is probably the most dangerous. i do hate tailgaters, but resting on the brake pedal at 60km/h on stretchs were they can't pass is always fun....(for me)

I couldn't decide on how to ilustrate a distracted driver so I ended up showing a scene where it caused an accident (notice the rear of the first car and the front of the green car flattened + the green one has the emergency lights on, and there is a bumper on the side)

Oh ok i get it now.. If i was doing it my self i prob would have indicated the car zig zagging up the road.. Most distracted people let the cars wander while their attention is elsewhere..
Cheers, Nik
