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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.

      The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.

      Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.

      I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.
