mystikmind2000: Speaking of questioning from a hopeless position.... Here in Sydney other drivers will fail to give way, cut you off, queue jump from the left, jump in front of you at red lights, do an illegal U turn in front of you and 'YOUR' the one in the wrong.... they will even jump out of their car to fight you because you dared to be offended by their insane driving or they will chase you so they can continue to shout at you.
Times like these i with i had a Mike Tyson Robot or clone to step out of my car,,,,, oh i would so much enjoy to see the look on the lunatic drivers face!
Goodaltgamer: Sorry I can not resist:
Since when do you have cars? You as a state of decendents of murderes and alike ;) You shall be still using horses and alike ;)
And if you think that is only the Aussies ;) you are absolutly wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's see I have driven in: (from worst to best)
France
Italy
Spain
USA
UK
Netherlands
Belgium
Portugal
Germany
Eire
Luxembourgh
and No. 1 place for me
Tunesia
Why Tunesia first: quite easy, I find it relaxing, You use eye contact to establish who goes first, but that is DEFINITE
Most drivers respect the others and even make space, even if it means MAKING space!!! Main rule: KEEP F*cking MOVING and don't insist on your right as it might slow everyone down......and no stupid shouting as you mentioned.....as they like to say: Inshallah, as god will ;)
You can drive quickly and its ok (ok, unless police stops you ;) ) or you can just cruise, as long as you make space. You just have to be aware of the local quirks ;) Muli-driven vehicles, light not working all way in the night and similar ;)
And I only counted countries, where I drove more than 3 days ;)
Well we still have cars in Australia, but for how long i don't know?
Us motorists here in Australia, we seem to annoy the RTA (roads and traffic authority) just by the fact that we exist, and i get the distinct impression they would be much happier if there were no vehicles on the roads at all!
As for the worst and best places i have driven, well, withing Australia the worst place to drive that i found was Parramatta in Sydney, mainly because of the horrifically idiotic design of the place. But the place with the worst drivers is easily Cabramatta, also in Sydney. Now i am not racist, but i have to say, from my experience, Asians just don't know how to drive.... i wonder were they thinking of Asian drivers back when they made the squinty eyes of cartoon Character Mr Magoo, because fxxk me, they really do drive around with their eyes shut!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: Oh and the best place to drive i found was New Zealand..... and i know this may be hard to believe, but in New Zealand when you catch up to a slow driver, they show you consideration and speed up a bit...... Land of miracles!!!
