a little bit of decency never hurt anyone but just not to those dicks who zoom pass in merging left lane and expects everyone to part for him just because he's out of room. 

Had a dick zooming towards me in the left merging lane and he was running out of room fast put his blinker on and decided to zip in front of me...........thats right bitch.....fat chance......sped up and cut him off REEEEEL good.....made him stop muahahahah

yeah.. I hate it when people go down the lane that is cutting off just cos everyone else infront of them merged over before it got difficult for everyone involved..

You guys should learn the rules. :(

You are required to give way to the vehicle in front where the lanes are merging, commonly known as "the zipper" or "1 for 1".

The correct place to merge is where the lane ends. It makes the most efficient use of the road space available, rather than blocking all the traffic because you chose to "dive in" to a gap early.

9) Thou shalt raise thy hand in a gesture of "thanks" whenst allowed into a lane in front of a fellow motorist...

C'mon world, it really pisses me off to see the lack of common courtesies we must all endure to make up for those (increasing) numbers who are too arrogant/self-important/disrespectful/"good" for everyone else - and not just on the roads...

Nick T.

Amen to that. If this was rule 1, and everyone heeded it, you wouldn't need the others. B)

thou shall apply the motorway rule to all roads.

(if someone on the right lane is going faster than you.. CHANGE LANES)

yeah ppl who sit in the right lane shit me

ive gotten to the point where i flash my lights and horn at the bastards.. even when im in my corolla ;o

Nothing pisses me off more than

A: People driving slow in the fast lane

B: Way below the speed limit - its there for a reason, STICK TO IT

C: Bikes who squeeze through cars lined up at lights, then go slow.

When driving along on a merge lane into a freeway.......MERGE!!!! don't stop to see who's coming ffs!

AMEN!

FFS prepare before hand to enter the fricken freeway. Don't slow down to 30km/h to merge with traffic doing 110km/h FFS!!!@#!!@#!@$!!

(5) Thou shall not pull into the empty left lane in traffic unless you actually have the go to go (another does this even need explanation commandment)

I think this needs explaining... Are you one of those drivers that is in the far left lane and only half merges so that know one else can cut down further down the far laft lane?? Now that pisses me off as everyone knows the far left lane is the quickest even though it may end (merge) further up. Someone half blocking and taking up two lanes need to be rammed!! :)

Not me!

I'm mainly talking about when you're about to pull up at the lights, you switch (or are in) the empty left lane and then some geezer pulls in front of you at the last minute and takes your spot at the front of the line.

Then when the lights change, they putter off, usually after they've spent ages staring vacantly at the green light.

You guys should learn the rules.  :D

That's all very well, but I have been in the situation of being in a lane that ended and some dipsh*t not paying attention and blocking me from merging (i.e. speeding up to run alongside despite my clear indication and attemtps to to merge) so I had to actually come to a complete stop where the lane ended and try and merge back in with cars wizzing bye at 80km/h round a corner. Then some blond who also got caught started tooting me to go, not realising she was taking up all my mirror because of the kerb and her well thought out plan to inch out in to the traffic.

I also had an annoying run in with a black 350Z (Kel, was that you? :D) that wouldn't let me merge despite the fact there was more than enough space. Ooo.. s/he was in a "sports car"... ooo.. that means the don't have to yield but can instead accelerate up to try and block you. Grrr.

Ummmmm :P

It could have been me today- but for a different reason.

Track (oops I mean Victoria Road) was a slow run home thanks to a poor crunched R33(?) at Drummoyne.

I was getting very pissed off at the spanners cruising along in the (faster flowing) lanes which lead along to the distributor, and then cutting into the lanes which turn into Victoria Road at the last minute.

This is one of those moments when Kel says: Sure, cmon in. I've just been sitting in banked up traffic for half an hour so you can zoom along and cut in at the last second. No worries!

C'mon in!

NOT

What are we up to...? 16?

16) Thou shalt indicate first, then apply brake and turn into your driveway/side street/etc.

I hate it when you're zooming along and some knob in front starts braking for no apparent reason. I'm thinking, what, is there a dog? A kid playing on the street? What are you doing? Where are you going? It's a indicator! Same as Commandment 7, use it BEFOREHAND!!

wot r we on 18 or something

Thou shall respect ALL on the road whether bikes or pedestrians or even learner drivers for that matter

(we arent all graced with the experience of some people, we have to learn to and remember u were once like us too)

next person to clim b up my arse when im drivin then blow their horn to tell me to go faster or get out the way im gonna have them.

i hae every right to be here just like you do .. if i could drive properly i wouldnt have L's now would i .. BACK OFF!!

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
