[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

I cracked it last night driving home - big time. I'd been turned in-front-of by yet another driver who just didn't bother to indicate their intention with that funny little stick on the steering wheel. I've had a gut-full of it.

I've made a conscious effort to count the number of drongos who don't bother to indicate any more as they weave in and out of traffic and I'm convinced that there is an epidemic brewing. I FOLLOW THE RULES AND THE LAW - so why don't these idiots? I'm tired of assuming that someone is going to take that one-car space in front of me in traffic - and not even bothering to indicate that they intend to do so. It's bloody dangerous!!! The sad fact is that more people don't bother about indication than do - and I'm not making that up, it's my honest observation.

Has the law changed since I went for my licence back in 1979 or something? Do we not need to indicate before a lane change any more? I got caught twice when I was a 20-year old for not doing it - probably the only two times I forgot to do so. I paid the price and lost my P's for 6 months over it. Nowadays it's the norm, not the exception!
