I drive a ute and get to sites just fine on the speed limit. Try leaving earlier.
Bikes that queue jump and weave through traffic end up smeared. Seen it happen. Those guys 7 cars back from the lights? They are obeying the law by not straddling lanes, and are extending their lives by not hitting my wing mirrors, encouraging the sourbăstărd to get out and start dispensing Clublock Justice©

In most forms of motorsports drifting and tyre spin = lost seconds, unless you are competing in the drifitng catagory where its mostly controlled. Doing it on public roads is just another way to get smeared.

easy there tiger - i do 20,000kms a year on the bike and if i lane split EVERY set of lights I probably wouldnt be typing this - when its safe to do so, i do it (probably 50% of the time)- to suggest its safe to do so at EVERY set of lights is moronic.

Thats me in the work Rodeos (although they're not loaded with anything)!:

As for the poll, I voted for the first 3 options. It all depends on mood etc.:

[OLDFORDNUT]

i never said every set of lights,i probably do it 50% of the time due to cars without enough space around them to be safe,i have ridden bikes on the road,for over 20 years without been splattered(touch wood)

Same here, I voted overtaking lane speedsters as I often drive in the overtaking or right hand lane on highways/freeways, but usually move over on the occasions where the other cars can keep up . The people who drive slow and then speed up when overtaking lanes become available are to be despised greatly.

After reading it, I'd say I'm a little bit of an exhaust-a-holic and a little bit of a tyre smoker - I haven't modded my exhaust, but will be getting a mild upgrade soon and while I don't do full blown burnouts, I get a little bit of wheelspin here and there.

Lol first drive when i got my new exhaust i went to the closest underground car park and let em have it. The other day i was comming out of a car park and these bogans were standing next to their blinged up lancers laughing at me for whatever reason.

Well lets just say full throttle in 1st then snapped to 2nd and the only thing i hear is their gay alarms goin off.

i'm a born leader... cant stand being behind people... they could F*** up and your next inline for their destruction path.. thats why i stay out ahead where nothing can go wrong:P

[Bearman]

Ooops...... I voted without reading the definitions. I went for lounge chair racer thinking it'd be something else. My bad!!

I'm actually a "D" is for dreamer. I never use the gears or the tiptronic in the XR6.

[mushxd]

Lounge chair all the way, not cool but stops ankle bitters kick seat

Nor is there a 'hate ricers with a passion and will do everything to annoy them' section.

Actually, there are 2 categories that fit the bill :
REDLINE REVHEAD &
DRIVERS WITH NO IDEA.

[Dezza]

I'm an EXHAUST-AHOLIC despite the fact my exhaust is still STOCK! I try to get as much noise as possible. I also tend to drive with one arm resting on the centre console lid so I put down ARM DANGLER.

One topic that hasn't been mentioned as well is CONSTANTLY 80. These are the people who drive at 80kph in a 100kph zone, so your'e stuck behind them for ages until you finally get past them at an overtaking lane. Then, once you reach a 60 zone, they go tearing past you still at 80kph! So you get to overtake them again! These drivers are usually seen in Camrys.

Okay okay... i admit it. I'm a traffic light creeper.

[Heeno]

lol im the guy your parents warned you about :Up_to_som

Ive gotta be a Redline Revhead and Tyre Smoker!

And proud of it

[Street Sleeper]

Tyre smoker here.. theres something about the sweet smell of PULP and tyre smoke that gets me hard.
What can I say, smoking is addictive and it's cheaper than nicotine if done in moderation.
