Exactly how it happens with merging. Get a few people going too slow and it fucks everyone at peakhour.

Half the Perth drivers wouldn't survive driving in Europe - there you need good lane discipline, looking far ahead (not just the car in front but the car infront of the car infront),using the outside lane to overtaking then quickly get back into the inside lanes. Opposite to what happens here

Just curious... how do you lock a wrx up at 50k's an hour ? And as far as how bad / lazy are the drivers in Perth, trying being on the road for 12hours straight, then come back bitching

^ Drivers who migrated to WA but learnt to drive in the Eastern states do this. All to well. It works great!

I just checked the website. Its roads 90kp/h+ that its 'keep left unless overtaking'. Unfortunately, though, the message is lost in this state. I hear you man.

And couldnt agree more with merging onto Kwinana at 80kp/h thing. Theres a launch ramp there, use it! Feck, I can even get the Pootroll up to 100 in time... And that is the slowest vehicle known to man... haha.

Ha ha ha,
i love playing the merging game with people.
Classic one for me is the powis st on ramp heading south onto mitchell southbound...
i use this entry up to 20 times a week... at least 50% of the time someone ( who is clearly behind me) in the other lane will get beside me just before/after it changes to 1 lane. Now im clearly the leading car....and now in the middle of the lane as its now one giant lane... people still sit beside me until they realise im not going to move then drop behind Or they accelerate around me ( going off the road) to get in front of me...

Now I dont care about drivers like this but i do find the mentallity amusing - especially in traffic - the " i have to get infront of you" shit.
Do they not realise
A: This is clearly a company vehicle - Run Into Me, I dont care.
B: You're in Traffic - You Might be in front of me, But We arent moving.....
C: Now that you were clearly in that much of a hurry to get in front, would you please do the speed limit....FKN Derps!
