Crazy Como Driver

get_an_ea_today · 02-03-2007, 01:54 PM

Hey Everyone,

Yesterday driving home from work there was this crappy vn revving a lot and pretty much being a fool, he was in the other lane to me and i was playing with my stereo and look up and realised that the traffic had moved forward a lot! so i quickly moved forward to the give way sign (wasn’t speeding i went to about 40km in a 70km zone) and i think the vn thought i was challenging him or something i dunno and follows me up a street for ages tailgating me and revving a lot! And then i came to a red light and he went beside me and pulled the hand break almost hitting another car and then drove off.

What kind of idiot does that?!?!

Best not to be dragged to their level, those tools have a 'reputation' to uphold.

I saw a Lancer speeding and weaving through tight traffic yesterday. Not once did they indicate. It was shear stupidity.

Stuff like this really annoys me because most people blame it on p platers.

Another thing is when a motorbike goes in between 2 lanes in between cars for some reason it always scares me lol!

kyro_02 · 02-03-2007, 07:04 PM

yeah called 'lane splitting' .. atleast in a motorbike you are moving most the time 'n not stuck in traffic (damn cars lol)

[Tonko] · 03-03-2007, 01:11 AM

Is lane splitting illegal?

nicko_bud · 03-03-2007, 08:05 AM

Only in NSW i think.. Or they were planning to until the riders road down the freeway obeying the proposed laws in peak hour on a monday morning.... holding traffic up by 1 hr

:P LOL

Some people have no idea.........Since i live in commo land i see stuff like that everyday, and driving a ford doesnt help the situation either. Best to ignore them and keep driving they way you do, sometimes they annoy me so much that you have to let them know that eb's came in V8's!.

Iv got this long stretch of road not to far from my house, its a single road at 60km that stretches for about 4 km.......its a frustrating road being stuck at 60km the whole way. Anyway the other day i had a VP commodore stuck up my behind. I saw him from a distant away catching up to me quicky, so he was obviously going way over the limit. The road has a solid line so there is no overtaking, so what does this commodore driver do??? Overtakes me illegally, with no indication, speeding while narrowly missing oncoming traffic.

Now i thought that was pretty bad when i relised that there was a motor bike behind the vp. This guy on the motorbike overtook the vp while the commodore driver was over taking me, all in one lane where the speed limit is sixty and there is no overtaken allowed!!.

I mean what is the world coming to, and its not just that 60km road its all of them. People always go about 80km in a 60km zone......why?

Yes. It is technical though. You cannot overtake a vehicle on the left, so if the bike is in the right lane, overtaking a vehicle travelling in the right lane on the left = offence.

There is also fail to indicate, when the bike changes lanes.

Who has ever been fined for overtaking on the left ?

It's hard to explain, a two lane highway, two cars. you are in the left lane, you can overtake a car in the right lane.

Say single lane two way traffic, broken lines. You can legally pass on the right, but you decide to go onto the dirt shoulder and overtake the car on the left - offence.

Because a bike can fit past the car whilst travelling in the same lane it is technically an offence.

But no-one enforces it. (To my knowledge.)

+1 reason to get a crotch rocket...

Youd have to be a complete tool to overtake on the left if it meant you had to drive on the dirt shoulder.

Dezza · 04-03-2007, 07:17 PM

I overtake on the left a lot (when there are at least 2 lanes going in the one direction.. I don't drive on the shoulder) This is because so many people drive 20kms under the speed limit and sit in the right lane (usually Camrys). No way I'm going to sit behind them when there is plenty of room to get past

Pointless post as my point was, who would overtake on the left unless there was another lane available. No one i know would even consider overtaking on the left when all there is to drive on is a dirt shoulder. I too overtake on the left if the knob in the right hand lane is doing 20 under the limit but only if there is another lane to the left of them. If it was a single lane road then i would wait for a break and overtake on the right (wrong side of road) but only where appropriate and legal.

OK true. It was a little pointless.

Nostalgia · 04-03-2007, 11:04 PM

I didnt mean that in a smartass way, i just shouldve explained myself properly in the first place.

babbo · 05-03-2007, 09:58 PM

Commodore drivers really are crazy.One tried 2 ram me off the road at well over 100kph, and tried 2 bash me on saturday night.
My opinion is that he was on drugs, but i dont think i can let out any other information because this is currently being cleared up by the police

webby_191189 · 06-03-2007, 04:18 PM

i dunno what it is about commo drivers but they just make dicks of themselfs. But it could also look bad cuz there are prob more commos than falcons out there for p platers but still they bring such a bad name for themselfs its shoocking. Its even worse when your in a small town because you see the same car doing laps and 85% of the time its a ******** commo. Its appauling. In a way im glad you can get your car impounded just so it slows them down a bit.
