    So many, many things. So many Canberra people just suck at driving.

    I have it worse than all of you. My Location proves it.

    I got pulled over just before (At around 4:45 a.m.) by a cop. When I asked what I did wrong, he said I was going 28 m.p.h. in a 25 m.p.h. zone... Thank god he let me go.

    Seriously though, combine harvesters being allowed on the road without escorts when most are so wide they have two wheels on the pavement and two on the other side of the road!

    In a similar vein, tractors. Large ones also take up more than the entire lane and they travel far too slow, the trailers they use NEVER have working brake lights, they don't use mirrors (assuming they have any) before turning and there is always another two or three people squashed into the cab.

    That's nothing. Try getting by a combine on a road so small it doesn't even have center lines. Although most of the farmers around here will move their outside tires into the grass to make room.

    Drivers that are annoyed by my driving annoy me. Nothing else really bothers me because I can't change how other people drive so I just drive calmly and good. If someone hits me they're in trouble not me so I don't worry about it.

    People who can't turn left very well and come into your lane as you're pulling up to a 3 way stop.

    People who drive 50mph on the freeway.

    Going to the airport Friday there was a big 18-wheeler with what appeared to be lumber stacked all the way up, then what looked like a huge picture frame barely balancing on the edge, litterally about to falloff on to the freeway.

    I don't know if its just me, but it seems that everytime, and I mean EVERYTIME I'm in a rush, there's somebody in front of me doing exactly the speedlimit. When they go down hill they don't speed up, but when they go uphill they slow down even further. It drives me insane! I swear it happens every time I'm late for something, that's not that often, but still it's so annoying.

    Overtake them? If they are traveling at the speed limit its not really a problem.

    Elephant racing, this is when two trucks approch a hill on a dual carrigeway, the truck infront is heavy and so slows down. The one behind is empty so pulls out to overtake, both trucks reach the top of the hill at the same time and then reach the 52mph (i think) speed limiter. Does either truck slow? Hell no.
    We don't have a big problem with that over here as there aren't speed limiters that I know of. In Chicago trucks regularly run at 75-80mph.

    On the road I live on it is. It's a country road, about 8km into town from my house, and its not a safe road to overtake. There's sections where the speed limit is 60km/h and some where its 50km/h, but generally people go about 75-80 the entire time, except when I'm in a hurry it seems lol.

    i hate people who keep tapping their brakes...

    and people who drive like miss daisy on the highway... what the hell!
    If you cant drive it, then park it!

    and also i hate it when tractors loaded with chicken or cow or any type of shit is driving down the road and leaves shit on the road and you have to drive over it because its all over the road and plus you have to follow it!
