Something I absolutely hate while driving. There is no reason for it and it is very dangerous. Vicroads teaches to leave a 2 second gap from the car in front, but who can estimate 2 seconds while driving at 100km/hr? It is much better to use a rule of thumb which is 1 car length for every 10km/hr of speed, plus 50% more if the road is wet.

I agree with the keep left unless overtaking thing . i am forever getting annoyed at people who sit out in the right hand lane and are doing under the speed limit.
