For me it's the people who stop before entering a roundabout then look for cars
and those that don't indicate when exiting causing the person giving way to them to almost stop which makes the whole point of a roundabout redundant. Ican't believe only one other person has mentioned roundabouts. |

I think people just in general should stop being in such a rush, if you need to be somewhere, leave early and take your time, is it worth speeding fines and annoying other people just to get to your destination 5 minutes earlier? Put on some good tunes, enjoy the ride, just don't do anything dangerous. Life is way too serious these days, everyone needs to calm down and be able to laugh at themselves.

(And the inclusion of bicycle as a legitimate means of transport on freeway class roads). Driving poorly or badly is all quite deliberate, one way or the other, it IS a national pastime. Example; we know to indicate whatever, then often choose deliberately not too, for whatever reason, because *we know* it'll pee others off - and that is a victory in some perverse way. Another example; I had a mate who'd delight in pulling out in front of faster closing freeway traffic; the d-wad would comment 'gee, messed him up' as he smiled with delight. Worked for a known truck co. Its all a game you see. By comparison:- Recently, a senior AUS federal MP visiting Germany noted "how unique it was to be doing 210km/h on the freeway and to still have cars flashing headlights a mile back - for him to prepare to be passed. Noted *no* road rage. Australia has changed, and it is getting nastier by the year, politically and in life.

people who turn right across double lines especially when you have to come to a complete stop and wait for them to make their ilegal turn.

In Brisbane it seems to be everyone I have started to wonder if the rules have changes and you can turn right where ever and when ever you please.

Everybody that uses the road, pretty much no one has any common courtesy or common sense anymore. To most it is a "all about me" attitude on the road.

Most people care about themselves and it shows in day to day life, nobody cares for their fellow road users, co-workers or anybody else for that matter. No one is more important than the next person and I mean no-one.
