Cars & Transportation Vent about all things traffic

[nannystate]

"In the UK there's an unwritten rule that it's ok to exceed the speed limit on motorways, and so we all do it"

It "is" an unwritten rule
In the UK, you're supposed to drive the speed of traffic (ie 85mph, as that's what most people do) or avoid using the motorways
Don't make comments about UK motorway driving when you've never even driven in the UK

 

[nannystate]

But in Australia apparently no one speeds - surely the only ones who think that are those who've never driven on our roads

So be it, stay left and let the speeders pass
It's not your job to enforce the speed limit

Oh so people do speed

 

[Gralin]

nannystate all over the shop

 

[nannystate]

Because our roads aren't the Autobahn

So what?
You're acting like it's your job to enforce speed limits
Hint: it's not

 

[nannystate]

I've never seen it in Australia but cats_09 and JackOutback insist that people speed
Regardless, keep left so that people speeding can pass
It's not your job to enforce the speed limits

Surely evolved hasn't created a hawks troll alt

Better check, how important are age of consent laws?

Lived in UK for 8 years. Drove on motorways regularly. This is bullshit.

Also, the road surface of German Autobahns is amazing! So smooth. If you tried doing 130+ on Australian country roads, you'd lose a wheel in a pothole.

It's everyone's job to ensure the environment around them is safe. None of us are interested in hoons going 30km/h+ above the limit

Maybe you were doing 100mph so you were flying past everyone doing 85mph

Lol
You wouldn't survive a UK motorway

Look out we got a bad arse over here!

I love that I can see the meme vividly in my mind right now.

 

[adammania9]

What a numpty

 

[Cruyff14]

I see people speeding every day on my 8km trip to work and back.

I didn't know you lived in England.

Had the pleasure of running into the King of Craigieburn today. I'm at a red at the front on the line, the King comes down the left turn only lane and pulls in front of me, because of course the King doesn't wait. He then blasts through a red light 1km down the road, because of course the rules don't apply to the King.

Silver two door Merc convertible. Absolute campaigner.

I had the misfortune of getting stuck in roadworks on the Monash heading home from the footy.

90 minutes to get from EastLink to Heatherton Road.

 

[burge13]

Should be ok as long as everyone else doesn’t start doing it too

I hadn't thought of it but I drive half the speed to be careful so we're evening things out making it extra safe for everyone else

Crazyburn has the wildest drivers I’ve ever seen. Road upgrade has sent everyone over the edge.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Fook Moi I get mad at people who can't merge. You''re already on the highway and let off the throttle to let them in, shit show commences and they're hesitating beside you running out of lane because they're to ****ing stupid to understand a simple maneuver.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Driving 4 hours, and getting a minute from home and getting caught by a speed camera

FML

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Got in an argument with a selfish campaigner of a woman who parallel parked across the front of three other cars, blocking us all in at school pick up so we could leave til she got her sweet ass back to her car. Her justification was that she couldn’t find a park anywhere else
