Going down the Gold Coast this morning, a bloke in a black ute was passing traffic, lane hopping between the outside lane and the safety lane. Was it anyone here? If it was ... you are are moron who deserves to lose your licence for years.

Pretty standard fare to see that on the M1. Doing a ridiculous speed too were they?

i don't necessarily agree with the govt's focus on speed and their 'speed kills' mentality but i can see how they would be so frustrated at the road safety messages not getting through.
one of the lackies at work lost his licence during the week. he is a perpetual drink driver apparently. had a party not far from home, decided to drive the short trip home and ran into another car. he didn't stop and continued on home. he was witnessed and his licence plate was given to police. they turned up a couple of hours later and he refused a breatho. instant loss of licence. also likely to face charges over the accident. i can't believe people still carry on like this. all it does is maker it even harder for everyone else as the govt feels obliged to keep bringing in more and more 'big brother' rules and regulations so that they are seen by the general public as doing something. |

Hmm problem is it doesnt matter how many rules you have, if you havent got the men on the ground to enforce them they are worthless..
Fixed speed cameras are a good example, i dont even know how these things pay for themselves especially in QLD where they are marked about 4 times before you get to them.... Like they are going to save lives, all they do is make everyone slow down to 80 when they go past them just incase they get pinged.. stupid!

Another example of poor lane discipline (keep middle unless passing) on QLD's three lane M1 lengths.
Leads to events such as Wally's. No excuse but the in and out lane-hopping is soooo American.

It was almost like the two of them were 'racing' in their 'sports cars'! and agree 100% they were clowns, and deserve nothing more than to lose their vehicles. |

Wouldn't the real morons be the ones in the right hand lane that didn't keep left unless overtaking?

Speeding is seen as exceeding the posted limit or going faster than the conditions allow, if the idiot was passing cars on the left in the emergency lane he was speeding and possibly driving carelessly or recklessly.
I had to get that in before this turns to s___ and gets locked

Most of us see reckless driving on a regular basis, unless there was an incident that requires identification a thread on the topic is venting only and has no real purpose.
