After travelling around the world and Australia and listening to lots of people here bag WA drivers, it has been confirmed that we are the best. Well atleast by 1300 people anyway.

despite what some people think, WA in general has some of the best roads in the country.
very consistent road markings and safer for pedestrians. makes for better drivers.

Perth drivers general standard of awareness is absolutely hopeless but after a few days back in Adelaide I had forgotten how much tailgating happens over here.

At least in Perth you can usually see some of the front of the car behind. The last few days on numerous occasions I haven't been able to see the bonnet of the car behind and everyone seems to be less than a car length behind the car in front.

dont forget there are other areas to WA than just perth

I would have to say that melbourne and sydney drivers, although hectic, are better than perth. You indicate to merge in perth, and the person next to you speeds up to get in front. Over east the second you indicate they back off. I like that a lot

wouldnt live there though

its even worst in places like singapore and thailand, you have to indicate after you move otherwise they dont let you in at all

Yeah I've driven throughout Europe, all over Oz, USA, London and Perth drivers are easily the worst. The tailgating is shocking & this is made worse by the fact people refuse to pull over on freeways, dual carriageways etc and therefore people get frustrated. I was in Turkey & few years ago and that was mad and chaotic, but I'd take that over WA.

merging must become a pre-school fundamental imo.

Apparently not. Maybe according to you yes, but the facts arent concluded from one persons opinion.
Ive also been around the world and disagree.
In the cities of USA I felt like ramming their horns up their arse as they never stopped from people pulling in front or varying other things.
In Asia, that covers a lot, but scooters going in every direction.
Same in some Europe cities. Scooters all over the shop running a muck, people doing what ever speed they want, not indicating etc etc.
This is only my observation so we clearly have had different experiences travelling around.
