You know what shits me?

People complain about "hoons" and how "we" (I say "we" because as performance car enthusiasts, we're stereotyped much of the time) are a menace to society.

On the way back from Fremantle just then, I encountered no less than 5 incidents of bad driving.. people swerving into my lane, cars pulling out of driveways without looking whats coming, cars doing well under the speed limit yet responding to parked cars at the last moment. Is everyone drunk maybe, or are they just terrible drivers? I'd say a little bit from A and a little bit from B.

People need to look at their own driving techniques before putting the blame for road accidents/deaths on speeding and hoons.

Spot on Joe. The enthusiasts are usually acutely aware of their speed and surroundings. Its the common folk that annoy the shit out of me. My biggest gripes from inept drivers are:

* Taking off from the lights at snail pace
* Driving alongside another car, disallowing the ability to over-take
* Cutting across dual lane roundabouts without regard for others

Enjoy having 1080HD in your car 100% if the time.
How about idiots failing to keep left on the freeway ???
Enjoy yet another moron that has no clue. Going LESS that 100 kph... so slow that the SS needs
to undertake on the left to get past.

ditto, seems that often the yellow lights are only optional for a lot of idiots
