If your that fragile or paranoid about people/cars around you - get off the road and start walking.

Some people here really need to start growing up and realising there is a big giant world outside of your front fence.

I don't know about anyone else on here, but if I'm travelling on a multi-lane freeway and I have a car sitting directly beside me I will either speed up or slow down to prevent that vehicle from being right beside me. I just have this nagging feeling that if something did happen (blowout, animal running across the road etc) then that vehicle has taken away one of my escape routes that would allow me to either swerve to avoid said animal or give me enough space to allow me to regain control if I have a blowout.

Same goes for them, it gives them room to move too.

To the OP, take down their rego and dob them into the Hoon Hotline

hehe, many of you guys are a bunch of wowsers!

Who wants to be blocked in on the right lane? You get it? I was stuck there, slowing down, speeding up, he stayed right next to me for 5+km. How slow would he have gone to block me in? I got down to about 90.

And the cop thinks he is invisible in his tinted SS wagon with radar and aerials all over it, yeah right...

Still I think it stinks. No wonder people get pulled over and annyoyed about why.


How can you be on the cops side here? Would you have been happy if you saw me in this situation accelerate to what 112 to pass so I could leave the freeway where I wanted to? Could have happened and I would have got a ticket.
If you think thats fair enough, well I dont know what your ethics have become?!

LOL So true. It's a wonder then don't try it. Im sure they will be allowed to.


POLICE CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. WHENEVER THEY WANT

We all should know that by now. It is echoed on this forum every single day.

Just remember because they can do it, doesn't mean you can. If you copy them the first thing they will do is book you. That's just the world we live in.

We all should know by now.

If anyone knows about how the internal regulations go within this sector or know police who have to put up with these regulations (and the feral general public) would understand that the stupid comment above ..... and a few others ..... is actually highly offensive to those who do the work and there are quite a few on these pages ...... just hope that some here will never need their assistance at anytime of their lives.
