Niko Posted 27June, 2014 Report Share Posted 27June, 2014 I hate it when your in the straight ahead lane and there is a lane next to you on the left which is also a straight ahead lane, but runs out just over the other side of the intersection. Meaning... once the lights green up this car on the left has to go as quick as it can to beat everyone and then has to cut in and cut off everyone who has done the right thing travelling on his/her right. Be nice to be able to just block them in, but a bit hard when I am in the beloved Bluebird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be nicer, easier and faster just to ease off the gas a smidge and let them in. TINGY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion03 Posted 27June, 2014 Report Share Posted 27June, 2014 Hey I use those lanes cause I am much faster and can zoom ahead and by the time I merge I am many car lengths ahead. sydr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now as far as "everyone who has done the right thing travelling on his/her right" is concerned, isn't the rule to keep left???

Be nicer, easier and faster just to ease off the gas a smidge and let them in. I may not have explained myself properly, I am in agreeance with your suggestion normally JJ, it is just one particular intersection that pithess me off. Picture this. ....three lanes altogether, two destined to go straight ahead when the lights turn to race. The third one which is on extreme left which has been made for people who want to enter the fast food pizza and Kentucky immediately over the intersection. Then the road goes no more.... so if you didn't go to get your takeaway you have to get into the main traffic flow again. So do they wait to get an opening...no no no. quick flash of an indicator (maybe) and veer to the right F*## everyone else doing the right thing. There is no doubt they are locals and know it very well, normally peak hour. Gonna have to get the Beloved Bluebird Turbocharged to block them. Frankston Dandenong Road heading South and Hall Road, Carrum Downer if anyone knows it.

Orion03 Posted 27June, 2014 Report Share Posted 27June, 2014 well it's worse where I work, Everyday at 5pm. go down Ricketts road, try and turn right onto Foster Road. People go straight at the intersection, chuck a U turn because there's a convenient turning spot, go back to the intersection and do a left turn, forcing all those who do the correct thing to wait for them. Sigh, really jams up traffic which is silly since normally no traffic comes that way at that time, mostly the people who go straight and U turn back.

firstone Posted 27June, 2014 Report Share Posted 27June, 2014 We have a left turn only lane into a 4 way intersection here. The rude ppl use it to race up n cut the flow. I'm aware of the animal so I just allow for it. I don't think its a big deal to anyone when done safely, although it interrupts a constant flow for everyone else. The problem is the aggressive nature of the animal at times. I saw a p plater towing a tinny, no rego, no tailights just hammer up the left n cut the flow with his trailer side by side the car he cut off. I actually expected to see bent stuff. Got a good look at who he is though and will be staying clear of him. Ice ( not rocks for our fav) is so prevalent these days, aggression is best given a very wide berth. Regardless of their reasons for behaviour they're out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 1July, 2014 Report Share Posted 1July, 2014 Low life rummaged through my DD car parked in my driveway last night. I mustn't have locked it properly making it an easy target. The thieving pr%€k would have to try the door to find out. There was nothing of value in there so nothing lost. Lock up your cars people!

Harvs11 Posted 9July, 2014 Report Share Posted 9July, 2014 A bit of online window shopping found this the other night... I tried to get one last year. Out of stock. Now they've double the price, I ain't getting one of these ! Try ebay:http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PORSCHE-DESIGN-Martini-Racing-Rugby-Shirt-/350769680742?pt=Apparel_Merchandise&var&hash=item51ab809166&_uhb=1 US Porsche online shop same shirt For US$140 and I'll bet it comes from the same underpaid clothing workers in China somewhere. PCA can stick their profits from price gouging up their sports exhaust. No wonder we are buying so much online from o/s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
