Shopping centres are the worst! At my local shops there are ramps to go up and down to each level. When going up it is a left turn ONLY.
Anyway I was driving to go down the ramp and some dude that was coming up turned right and he almost hit me. We both stopped the car and he was just telling me off like I was in the wrong.
People turn right a lot at the top of the ramp because they are "lazy" and "can't be bothered" going the proper way around the car park level.
I hope this is clear in that HE was in the wrong, not me.
Trucks in the right lane is also annoying especially when they are going slow, it's only common sense to not be in that fast lane! Another bad experience with trucks...I was merging onto a freeway and obviously everyone knows that if your car is in front or most of it is in front of the car next to you that you have priority to go first. Well this truck came out of no-where and totally cut me off and he made me go half in the emergency lane!
Oh and I thought of another one! When I was in Box Hill last week near that really bad intersection, the left lane was ending because of parked cars. The bus in front of me (not only that before he almost smashed into a car) merged into the right lane and the car let them through. That's fine, most people know about the common courtesy where you do one at a time. My lane almost ended and the guy next to me (I was clearly in front of him) kept speeding up staying behind the guy in front of him and he didn't let me through. Blinker on and all I went to merge and he just sped in front and cut me off!
On all of these occasions it has not been my fault and I know how to conduct myself around an intersection!
After my brother came back from Europe a few years ago he said how much better the drivers are over there than here in relation to respect, common sense and just generally how to drive.
