I’ve been meaning to post a thread on this topic for ages. Every day I drive a good 35-40 km to work so I see a fair bit of traffic, not as much as some but enough to note some pretty bad driving habits. What I’m keen to find out is what fellow SAU members think Victoria’s most annoying road offence is. The one that p|sses me off the most is drivers blatantly running red lights. Almost EVERY day I see at least one car run a red light and hold up traffic with the green light. Not only is it annoying but it’s just plain dangerous. A few years ago I witnessed a car speed up to beat a red light only to collide with a car that had already entered the intersection; he was completing his turn when the speeding car struck him. It was a pretty big hit and the driver was lucky to survive. Anyway I’ve listed some of the things I could think of but feel free to add any you can think of below and don’t forget to vote. I’m keen to see what you guys\girls think!

I get alot of people who tailgate me with those dazzling xenon front lights that blind u when they go up hills. And get alot of people who tailgate me (when im on the limit), posibly because my car can go fast and its not, who give me 10-20 seconds of high beams in my rearview just before turning off. Nothinnnnnnnng annoys me more. Do they WANT me to get out and knock them out or what -_-

hate people that tail gate, its always either tradies or soccer mums in a hurry to pick up their snotty little kids.

if they are really close, i love to just slow right down and hold em up as much as i can. it doesn't change how quickly you get to where you're going, so why do it?

with the tailgating, if you're sitting in the right lane, and just cruising along, not passing anyone...then not only are you breaking the law, but you're holding up those that do want to pass.

if they wanto sit 10km/h over the limit, its their business, and not your job to slow them down....so if you're being tailgated in that scenario, move over.

Agreed. If you want to add another option for the poll... -People driving slow in the fast lane. ie road 80k/h or more with 2 or more lanes. I drive an hour to, and an hour back from work every day. about 90mins a day going 100k/h. I just want to do the speed limit so move over....

got tailgates by a taxi in the wee hours of the morning not too long ago... he was trying to get me to break the speed limit so he could get where he was going.... sitting so close i could barely see he headlights....

so i just jumped on the breaks.... lets just say he barely missed my rear bumper much to my dismay (want a new one) and then didnt tail gate me at all after that

Yeah though of that, but I think thats a given :huh:

grr last 3 piss me off.. but the worst is tailgating at 100/k hr.. also on the Ring Rd are the worst tailgating pricks (yes tradies are def #1 offenders) who sit 1m from your ar5e even though there's 2 lanes full of traffic and at least 1+ cars directly in front of you holding you up.. I don't know what/where they expect me to do/go but some of them don't even back off when they have brakelights suddenly flashing them even now and again.. use Bec's method when really necessary too.. even if it holds up 5 more cars behind them.. some people just don't get the msg tho.. and they are all out today of course, grr.

One other problem is at the Montague St entrance to the Westgate.. they do not look at all before they move into the left lane.. (its added lanes not a merge).. had to swerve/brake a few times now to avoid having a fatal collison with a truck or 3.

The other thing that really annoys me is morons who think they need to prove that their sh1tboxes are faster than the 180, and try to cut me off or change lanes RIGHT in front of me only to go under the speed limit. Doesn't happen even half as much in the 32 gah.

You guys don't have enough bandwidth for the rest of my ranting..

i have a problem/bad habit of having about 4" of ass crack peeking out of the top of my jeans on a daily basis if that counts

lol

but seriously, tailgating or ppl who sit in the right hand lane on a fwy doing 70 kms

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
