Driving on the duel carriage freeway yesterday sitting in the left hand lane doing the 100kms speed limit when a car sitting in right lane came speeding up and overpassed me doing around 110/115kms, it had 2 girls in it with a big L plate on the front and rear windows……and guess what they were both talking on their mobile phones, they stayed in the right hand lane for another 15kms until they turned right at a set of lights.

yep saw a bloke on a motorbike taking a phone call
after looking at it and tapping the screen a few times all one handed he pushed it upside his helmet
i let this one slide a bit as hes was in a side street and only do 10-15 kph
but its not speed that kills its the sudden stop

You of course wrote down the rego plate no. and the time and location/area, didn't you.
Then inform the Police and they can easily
check time of calls etc and your report of it means a little chat with a Policeman/woman.
They may have been practicing their multi tasking ability. Women are better at multi tasking but their cars hit just as hard though.

Come to
Darwin, I get overtaken by at least one car by a week in the 80 km zones doing 100-110km/hr.
Not unusual to get given the finger here as
well, not to mention the arms and head out the window yelling.
Gotta love the top end :-)

Much the same in WA lyndon see it every day here, the main point I was making in my post was that the” L “Plater (Learner Driver) was not only staying in the right hand lane and over the speed limit, but she was also talking on her mobile phone, as was her so called driving instructor (talking on the phone also)

Returning from
Adelaide to
Broken Hill I was on the main North road I had to Drop some item off a Nuriupta so I did not use the new by pass road.
The main North road is a good road but it swaps between 3 and 4 lane s a lot so I sit on the left hand side and take my time I have a long 5 or 6 hour trip so why bust your gutts and stress out, and with so many traffic lights going over the speed limit is a wast of energy and time.
Lady came flying up to me but was not quick enough and got stuck behind me
well you did not need to be able to read lips to know what she was saying and I got the finger and she finally got past me and she had a
young 13 or 14 year old female in the passenger
seat and she went a few ks and went to left to the
shop s
Now all that to save minutes and how can she tell her kids off for bad manners or swearing ( I am assuming it was her daughter) when she has done it her self
are we as adults expected to show the kids what and what not to do as responsible parents and adults
