I'm sure everyones had their fair share of idiots on the road.

Somehow us good drivers seem to attract all the bad ones..and the mediocre drivers get away with murder.

Whether its 4x4's doing 30kms slower than the speed limit or douches entering freeways at 60km/hr, driver training and awareness of traffic and road conditions seems to be getting progressively worse each year, im sure you all agree!

I remember once when i lived in melbourne back in mid 2000 going across the western freeway and a woman had literally stopped in the centre lane of 5 lanes of freeway in the 100 zone ... and was reversing back to make her exit. in doing so about 100 odd cars and trucks went into all different directions with the first 5 vehicles nearly taking her out and she veered off to the left hand side to make her exit.

Nothing more suprising than seeing an idiot with their reverse lights on whilst your doing 100 odd down the freeway in a pack of cars and trucks!

worst driver ever!

What is your worst driving incident to date ?

worst for me, f**king scum cab driver cut me off in the valley - almost ended up parking the car into the front room of the press club because of this flamin mongrel.. Anyway, i've pulled up beside him - given the finger and a few choice words... Cab pulls up in frront of me at the lights (next to birdies) gets outta his cab - motions for me to get out to fight in front of about 20 people waiting at the lights..

this flamin mongrel then spits in my face, i get out of my car and piffed my whole apple at the flamin mongrel - missed him but smashed the back of the cab.. i get back into the car, lights had been green for about a minute - all this traffic had piled up behind me and the cab - i take off - cab follows dangerously close - stop at the lights again in the city - cabbie is yelling some foreign shit at me - picked up my other apple i had on the front seat - put the passenger window down, just as we take off im just about to launch this apple right at the flamin mongrels face - but then my common sense kicked in and i thought "knowing my luck ill hit him, he'll crash and kill himself or someone else"

that was 3 years ago now, and it still f**king boils my blood... complained to yellow cabs, they couldn't do anything - they wanted me to go get video footage to prove it..

in a nutshell, i f**king hate cab drivers, your all f**king flamin mongrels

I couldn't agree more! I've had a few cabbies cut me off but nothing like what u experienced lol i bet there's times where u wish u had thrown that apple at his head :P

I had a taxi driver experience too... well plenty of "whoa, what a tard" moments, haha, but one in particular still gives me the chills.

Many moons ago I was riding my brother's little CBR250 down Roma St and a guy in a taxi decided he wanted my lane, I beeped figuring he hadn't seen me, and he looked me straight in the eyes and kept coming - it was really quite terrifying. I was boxed in, not even braking was an option due to the actions of the car behind me, and the only thing I could think to do was to stand on the pegs and kick the crap out of his mirror. Thankfully that made him swerve back into his lane, which gave the enormous bloke on the Harley I'd just finished having a coffee with time to pull in between a scared-shitless me and the taxi, and in his most menacing voice he bellowed "F*** OFF C***". The wanker in the taxi promptly exited stage left. When I rang them the taxi company basically said that their drivers are angels and that it must have somehow been my fault, but that I could still lodge a complaint. I did that, then went to lodge a police report, they were sympathetic but said it'd be difficult to do anything about because other than a mirror there was no damage or injury. Never heard from either again, but lived to tell the tale so it's not all bad lol.

I had a gang follow me when I was 18. Was 2 commodores, a motorbike, a WRX and something else at the back I couldnt see. It all started with one bloke seeming to want some fun. So followed him around the round about. Pulled up at the lights, and he starts swinging a trolley pole at my lancer (bear in mind this was years ago). So I planted it through the red lights, after he made contact. Had my gf of the time aswell as her friend in the car. Within 5 mins there were the 5 cars trying to box me in, swearing and trying to pull me over (threatening to kill me)... so off I went up OG road running redlights at 180+ on the phone the police. They didnt help at all. Said they were going to meet me at designated places and everytime I beat them to it. They eventually gave up.

im gunna mix it up a bit and say my worst pedestrian was some guy seeing me going around the round about starting to come off toward him, he started crossing the road, i stoped on the round about to not kill him and stoped walking half way, finished crossing, then swore at me. tsk tsk shoulda killed him

Was he actually a tard? or drunk? Or was he actually so stupid that he thought he had right of way :P

Because of my situation above, I now been a trolley pole of my own for such situations :D Next time ask him what his problem is :P Not that I'm violent, people just think they can do what they want.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
