Its scary to realise how many people don't know basic road rules and think they have right of way.. This OP was doing the speed limit, he overtook a truck which should be doing less and in this case was as the OP was overtaking it, he isn't doing anything wrong (until he slows down) but the tard in the 33 was speeding and tailgating. If the knobhead 33 driver wasnt a tool and was doing 110 he would have passed the truck anyway. Sure it was wrong to slow down but these days there are that many wankers on the roads who do not know or care for the rules it ruins a simple drive to work/shops etc. The dumb shits bagging out the original poster need to look at themselves and just say out loud, "Im a shit driver with no road courtesy for others". Too much Need For Speed and Autobarn dreaming.

If i may just add my 2c ...

The law based on the RTA (or TRMS or whatever you want to call them now) is to actually slow down when you have someone tailgating or "being up your ass"

This is so if you indeed need to slam on the brakes for whatever reason there wont be another car in your passenger seat when you do.

Dont ask me exactly where this is in the book/website but this exact question was part of my license test several years ago.

How do you know that the guy wasn't in a hurry for some kind of emergency? Its pretty simple... The right lane is for overtaking, and if someone comes up behind you just move over... Don't get the shits that someone is going faster than you and slow down and block them with a truck and then come on a forum whinging about it...

^^^ Correct

John Cadogan media advisor for NRMA is a big stickler for TRAFFIC FLOW.

Sure, drivers may occupy a spot according to their perceived rights, but responsibility will always exceed rights!

Responsibility for improved traffic flow is to complete your own overtaking manoeuvre and pull back into lane 2 or 1 in a multilane highway.

John is also an advocate for "P" platers to be able to go up to maximum speed limits on highways/motorways to not disrupt traffic flow!

Too bad that all is logical, because RTA has an anti-logic policy :angry:

HAHAH that is awesome, i would shake the cops hand for that, i drive the F3 from the coast to sydney and back every day for work and the amount of times im in the left lane going faster then the ppl in the right lane is a joke, and i think the guy with the camera in that is also a cop, have a look at the Yellow vest he has on in the mirror has the blue and white checker on it :D

Ha thanks for that Terry! Exactly we need more of that!

I think everyone is in agreement here that yes the overtaking lane is for overtaking. Not sitting there in your own world.

Alex though I think was saying it was the acts of what the driver did that shouldn't be condoned as in the aggressive behaviour or "road rage".

I think he admitted to knowing what he did wasn't right but rather just at a point of frustration which really is not an excuse and only adds to the problem.

However, I also agree that the RTA does not help in these sorts of things at all.

While it is an offence which holds a fine and 3 demerit points, tailgating is still an issue.

And this becomes an even greater issue when people don't move out of the right/overtaking lane.

I think Terry summed it up the best in the statement of Traffic Flow and that's what we should be aiming for.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
