I don't know how you'd do it on a roundabout but i am guilty once. Poorly lit intersection late at night, i was turning right, there was no oncoming traffic and i didn't realise it was a divided road. So i turned right into the nearest road. Looks pretty obvious here, so i must have had a...

Or obey the rules. People stopping to give way when they shouldn't, because they think they are being nice, can make things worse because everyone gets confused and just stops. Just go when you should, don't try to push in when merging, and everything works fine.

I figure there's a hotline somewhere. "Hey maate i wanna fill in a pothole on the Monash, i want to close a couple of lanes for 4 hours , Friday night peak hour , suits me , yeah there's only a couple of footy games and a taylor swift concert on that night so no big deal " " Yeah maaate ...all...

Used to be a thing on youtube about why its safer to speed. Car travelling the speed limit approached roundabout , fails to give way and crashes. Repeat scenario , speeds to roundabout, gets there well before the other car so doesn't crash. :D It seems to be gone now.

When they built the freeway through Hallam , joining the M1 and south gippsland freeways, they planned an overpass so that people coming up Sth Gippsland from Cranbourne direction, could turn right towards packenham. They announced that they needed to save money and they didn't really need that...

It was the situation as described by rocker. The left lane was blocked , everyone had merged nicely into the lane that continued, but of course some campaigners think its ok to drive right up to the block then force their way in front of those who had merged correctly. The A-Hole was the guy...

My son on L plates gets really close to the car in front. Without me saying anything he says, "to make sure that arsehole coming down the left doesn't push in ".

I can't get over people slowing down for green lights. Lights will change, and the morons still chug through, but everyone behind them misses. Petrol up above $2.00 must be time to ride my bike again.

You are coming to an intersection, the newly created left lane is empty, you know it will disappear 100m after the intersection but that's ok , you line up with it, old mate in the right hand lane, swerves across two lanes to get into the left hand lane in front of you. The lights change, and...

I don't know, i just know the traffic will be terrible next week. Might be time to dust of the bike if it'll stop raining.

Back to school next week. The madness shall descend upon us all.

The ones i hate are the ones turning left on the slip lane, you're sort of watching them, but also looking back over your right shoulder in case something is coming on the main road you're turning onto , nothing is coming but then when you look back, the car in front has come to a halt for no...

Most rich people are stingy as hell, they'd just bully Smithers to do it.

Yeah though the corporate fines are a shitload. Better off nominating smithers, paying his fine and making him cop the points.

Lets see , traffic lights shall i get behind the V8 HSV Commodore or the scungy looking tip truck. DOh should have chosen the tip truck.

They fixed up ( ok spent a lot of time doing stuff ) the intersection of Ernst Wanke, and Narre Warren North road. There are two right hand turn lanes. They have designed the media strip in such a way that if you are turning from the inside lane, you have to use a weird radius where you sort of...

Do you have these nice little things. Bike lanes that suddenly appear on a busy three lane road for about 5 or 10 meters , then disappear again? https://www.google.com/maps/@-38.0012529,145.2329855,3a,75y,90h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHVW2Ecn3naIXH4diynU7ww!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

When i travel on the bike path near the new South Gippsland Highway, and then use the pedestrian crossing to cross princess highway, they have purposely built a dogleg with a fence around it, and put up a sign that says "cyclists must dismount" . I promise i will do so, as soon as i see a...

I still don't know why they build pedestrian walkways at roundabouts. Its dangerous ( cars looking to their right while you can potentially be on their left ) and it screws up the roundabout. Sometimes if you are walking along a road you need to. But if you are going to cross into the side road...

Apart from the total lack of reaction by some of the drivers facing impending collision, i can't help thinking it was insane that we legalised lane siphoning in Victoria after seeing some on there.

Oh well ,it could be worse.

I don't mind driving in the rain if no-one else is.

A good highway , or one that's gridlocked by turning trucks and cars reversing out of driveways?

I've seen a truck turning right onto Princes Highway, move to the middle of the road so that his trailer is completely blocking three lanes in one direction, while he waits for a break in the opposite direction.

It should be illegal for them to call themselves "planners".

Its the latest thing. Treat 3 lane highways as if they are supermarket carparks. The other thing i hate is cars going sideways across these sorts of roads from a service lane, crossing the main throughfare to get to a turning lane. Yeah sometimes you get stuck in that scenario's, but not as...

Sounds about right. Its not like Myki don't de-activate your card if you don't use it for a while , or keep the money you have on your card when it expires. Why should other ticketing systems be any better.

Maybe , but they have built whole cities that are sitting empty and crumbling away. They might be "smarter" or they might be stupid. Here's Putin playing the "longer" game. Or being stupid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russky_Bridge EDIT: I knew someone who went on a motorcycling holiday...

We'd go something like this.

You're meant to drive to a speed that's safe. There are a lot of really curvy roads in the Dandenongs out from Melbourne. My son on L plates scared the crap out of me. What the....... are you doing? "Its an 80 zone...i'm trying to go 80 "
