Almost Got Taken Out Today....

Had a close call on the way to work today.
Driving on elizabeth drive towards walgrove rd, past mamre rd there is a 2 lane climb up a hill, and like every day theres someone in the overtaking lane doing 60 in an 80 zone mindless of the fact that they should be keeping left unless overtaking.
Anyways im sitting in the left hand lane behind another 60kph car as it was edging past the car in the right lane, i squirt up looking to get into the right lane as there was finally some room and the car in the right lane proceeds to merge into me as i was accelerating... 
FARK!  nudged left, hit the anchors and just managed to avoid her, she then gets back into the right lane, the left lane was ending a couple of hundered meters up the road and i was let into the right lane by a curteous subaru forester driver (thanks dude if you out there), i mergerd with my right hand on the horn and my left hand flipping her the bird.
to top it all off this woman did all of this without indicating! FFS!!!!
anyways thats my story, it certainly woke me up this morning...
have a good one.

Try having someone in a car do it, while you're riding a 'bike...
(That'll wake you up...)

Everyday I drive to work there is some inconsiderate f**k who is too f**king lazy to indicate. I've been doing some studying on this seemingly increasing phenomenon and have come up the type of stupid prick drivers who can't move their index finger back off the steering wheel onto the indicator stalk, so just watch out for them, because these are really crap drivers.
1. 4-bee drivers
2. Fleet car drivers (especially bombodores and falcoons)
3. and finally my favourite....the tradesman. The tradesman driver is probably one of the worst type of driver on our road today. Somehow, when driving on the freeway, they think that the Toyota Hilux or Holden Rodeo (wif a big vee 6 unner da hood) is a f**k race car, and they have authority over everyone else so they can driver like phycos!
Hey I don't know why the RTA gives licences to uneducated hopeless bums, who can't drive for shit.
If a tradesman reads this I reckon this will be their reaction:
Aw Timmo, Hey Timmo hav a weed of dis hey. dis bloke baggin us out hey! Can't beeweeve it hey!
wa!

These people weave in and out of lanes all over the place with no signals..why don't they just indicate?
if weaving through lanes takes so much of ur concentration that you can't use ur indicators, you mustn't be the expert driver that you think you are. 
i think commodores are just as bad as tradesmen..tho maybe just because there are more commodores on the road
