Bad Drivers

Cars & Transportation

I've recently moved further out of the suburbs and I have to drive along a main road when I travel to and from my workplace. It's a 3 lane road with speeds of either 80 or 90 kms

The other day I was driving alongside and old ute with a couple of young lads driving and I noticed it wandering from one side of the lane to the other, the driver was obviously using his phone. I kept my distance not wanting to pass because i was worried that they'd swerve into me. Sure enough, when the car in front of the ute stopped at the lights the ute driver plowed straight into the back of him. I was so shaken. If i'd over taken that ute it would've been me.

I'm so tired of being tail gated, cut off and no one sticks to the speed limit. Is 90kms not fast enough?? I'm experiencing this everyday now and starting to hate my drive home.

Are we a nation or terrible drivers?

Yes we are becoming a nation of terrible drivers. It is part of the modern Instant Gratification syndrome that most people are addicted to. They have to be there now; the trip is a nuisance, a waste of time. There is no such thing as enjoying the trip, being aware of what is around you; this also results in most drivers not being aware of the other vehicles on the road with them. Also they can't wait to use the phone they have to call or answer it now. It is all about Me and my gratification. Good old Aussie Mateship may be alive during natural disasters but it is dead on the highways.
