wow I never thot of all these factors you guys mentioned on each post..
I get late for university & speed up.......and hey but when other people do that to me.. & i have to move out..its not that I mind. :roll:

well get up earlier to go to uni then... everyone here complains about how bad the drivers are in Brisbane, but everyone is also breaking the rules (e.g speeding), then how good a driver you are when you are complaining about the local drivers at the same time you are also breaking the rules.

No matter how hard I try, I always end up being late, it runs in my blood lol.
Like I said, I am not complaining about the drivers here in Brisbane. Its all part of the game, sometimes let them move, sometimes you move out.
And speeding is Haram, but what about the assigned speed you are allowed to go upto? some people just dont care & stroll on the roads!

i would say stick with the rules, don't follow what others do. I think it wil be a a lot less traffic if everyone follow the rules (less accidents).
- westerndiamond - 09-25-2005
You think people who do not violate traffic rules dont crash??
anyways my point is, you can not brake the traffic rules but can still create chaos. Like drive too slow, and lead the jam :arrow:

It's sad to say that many people who come from countries with high standards of driving end up driving like idiots here, as trying to drive properly can be impossible sometimes and the attitude is, if you can't beat em' join em'.
Plus the majority of problems I've seen are caused by speeding and people yapping on their mobile - you bsaolutely cannot concentrate on driving with a phone stuck to ear. Every mobile comes with a hands free kit, so I don't know why people don't use them.
Plus you know those little orange lights on the side of the car, activated by flicking the stick thing on the side of your steering wheel - they're really useful little devices, they're called inWakerleyators and you know what? They let other people know where you want to go.
Altough I have to say, I've never seen anywhere else in the world where when you inWakerleyate, people will actually close up the gap you wanted to move into - on purpose - MORONS!!!!!

BUT HOW ABOUT THE KID ??? that would be thrown around the car if something happens ... idiots i swear !!! ...

Lol yeah its so annoying, they seem so desperate to maintain their space that they might as well pee on it to mark their territory...So many people neglect giving inWakerleyators here, its a shame to make the ones who show that courtesy regret doing so...Frankly I think giving inWakerleyators should be as much of a reflex as looking in the mirrors, fix it in your head when you start driving, so you do it by force of habit, yes even when 'nobody's around for miles'!
About mobiles and driving, I remember this study that said your attention levels are actually lower while speaking on a cell than when you are intoxicated! Imagine that!
Oh and mINOR pLEASURE, if you think that's dangerous, what about those idiots who have their kids in the front seat! Lol I've even seen people driving with kids in their laps, that's just imbecilic

not saying everyone follow the rules accident will not happen(and i am not only talking about speeding but everything they do on the roads e.g changing lane in double line, not inWakerleyating etc...), but it will minimize the possibilities...
