Food, Drink & Dining Out The Perth Thread - Part 2

[JackOutback]

So you’re okay wearing a car that decides to nip across to that gap they just spotted

I drive a car and I hate the little car nipping into someone else's safe braking distance just so they gain three precious seconds on their journey much more than the motorbike driver.

Me too - really grinds my gears but I fear more for the safety of the bike rider

That section of Canning Highway heading west at the bridge where you have the extra lane for people wanting to turn right at the Raffles? I hate it when people use that lane to try and sneak past everyone else who's doing the right thing and just staying in the right hand lane. I will actively box people in if they're next to me trying that. Had one soccer mum in a prado completely lose her shit at me for not allowing her to come back into the right lane. If you don't want to turn right at the Raffles, don't get in that lane biatch.

perthblue would want every single person on Canning Hwy in the left lane at all times. If you want to turn right onto Kintail then stiff shit.

As a transgendered zim motorcyclist, the issue with filtering is sometimes you get caught filtering at speeds a little higher than you should (say 50 kph) as the drivers accelerate at warp speed then slam on the brakes (rinse/repeat). It's the age old issue though, some motorcyclists (moreso scooter riders) ride like dickheads and don't know how to filter and give the rest of us a bad name.

Some drivers try to deliberately block me and that is frustrating and some make an effort to move over if they're too close to the centre line. I wave at good deeds and shake my head and bad deeds.

Why can't you just stay behind cars like everyone else?

 

[JackOutback]

Why can't you just stay behind cars like everyone else?

Traffic moving (including motorbikes and cyclists) is good for congestion.

 

[estibador]

Why can't you just stay behind cars like everyone else?

Why not let them aid in easing traffic congestion if they're able? Don't see the point in adding more vehicles into the rolling carparks if we don't need to.

Be nice to the people taking traffic of the roads and donating organs in the future.

I am expecting motorcycle riders to filter up in between the lanes on the freeway, I am fully aware it happens frequently and make damn sure I look before I change lanes in my Hyundai.

 

[Off The Couch]

More senseless murders where it appears once again that the lack of access to proper mental health facilities and where hospitals and the police have been unable to help may have contributed to an issue escalating

We need to prioritise MH

 

[craigos]

Why can't you just stay behind cars like everyone else?

Because I don't have to and it's safer for myself when done correctly. Not to mention it's quicker and in no way inconveniences drivers.

 

[Kram]

Nothing against motorcycles at all but riding them reguarly in city traffic you have a death wish.

Because I don't have to and it's safer for myself when done correctly. Not to mention it's quicker and in no way inconveniences drivers.

And when not done correctly?

 

[craigos]

And when not done correctly?

The same as when someone in a car does something incorrectly but with harsher consequences to the person at fault.

Who do you hate more, motorbike riders or cyclists?

 

[Beerfish]

Cyclists.

At least motorbike riders have some claim to road ownership as they pay registration on their vehicles.

Motorcyclists drive at the speed limit and don't slow traffic by making people slow down until there is a gap to go around them

This morning I saw a couple of leotard wearing Tour De France wannabes riding down Canning Highway and they were actually stuck behind a big truck that was fully loaded with scrap or something. As I drove past in the right hand lane I found myself wondering what they'd do? Try and overtake? Momentarily demean themselves and ruin their stage time by riding on the foot/cyclepath?

Would you rather the cyclist on their bike or them being in another car on the road with one person in it clogging up the road and adding pollution?

They can be mildly annoying at times getting in the way but never understood the flat out cyclist hate (I'm not one either..)

Another car on the road of course because a car can do the speed limit.

And I don't mind cyclists as long as they ride on the footpath or the cyclepath. Stay off the ****ing road.

 

[Scotland]

Tough call. Motorcyclists at least don't run red lights and ride on the footpath when they feel like it. And most understand that it's a dangerous activity and wear those thick padded jackets, proper helmets etc.

That being said they're both dicks. Just like motorists.

 

[Kram]

tbh what I hate is the dick-heads that drive big 4wds that have never seen an inch of a dirt road in their lives.

 

[Kram]

When you don't live in the city anymore and aren't used to it I actually find driving in the city pretty stressful.

I hate those too. Usually driven by retired people or soccer mums.
