As I understand it, WA does. When I went to sydney I was surprised that people could actually merge. In WA people treat it as an excuse to try and get in front of everyone.. which means everyone sitting alongside each other trying to get that one car length in front and having to slow everyone else down to 30km/h as they realise they've run out of road and have to dive on the brakes and swing in behind them. I have once actually been overtaken by a bicyclist while waiting for all the bright sparks to merge on Reid Hwy in a 70km/h zone. God help you if your a motorcyclist.. "I didn't see him.."
I was also driving down the slip lane to turn lift off reid hwy the other day and as my bonnet was almost level with some old farts corolla bumper .. he decided to flick on his indicator and swerve over .. I did an emergency stop and flicked my lights at him, and gave him some evil looks at the lights.. and what did he do? wave it off and laugh at me. Down comes the window and a lot of expletives. I usually don't lose my temper over road incidents but this was blatant ignorance and complete disregard of the potential rammifications of not paying attention on the roads.. it's a PRIVILEDGE to hold a license and drive on public roads. There's a lot of dickheads in mums commodore on P plates pretending they are skaife or brock that give the rest of us who choose our times and places to semi-responsibly have a little fun on the roads where it won't hurt anyone (not out and out racing) a bad rep - don't be tarred with the same brush
- CHOOSE YOUR TIME and place, doing burnouts at the drive through to impress schoolgirls is not going to help anyones image,
- avoid the bling.. if you want to drive, you don't need four exhaust tips 20" rims with the wrong offset etc
don't speed and be responsible when your not 'trying it on'
I'm not saying your all like that but geezus .. someones gotta say it - you can have your fun when the time is right and be a good, safe driver the rest of the time
after all - you should be watching what the potential idiot in the next lane is doing
