    Sorry but I have just spent the weekend driving around London and Kiwi drivers are no worse than the aggressive pushy ones here. People deliberately close up gaps as you try and change lanes, push out from side roads making others brake heavily etc<br>
    Found the same in the US. <br>
    People everywhere are fucktards behind the wheel.

    I dunno I find London drivers are better at letting people in but are quite shit at merging. If that makes sense.

    <p>Do you own a car there Bones ? I didn't see the point when I lived there.</p>

    <p>Wellingtons hilly roads are narrow as fuck and no one knows who needs to give way so there's issues when there is parked cars everywhere too.</p>

    No I just steal them. It's London.<br><br><br>
    Anyway I live in Kent. Should have said English drivers. When I was home at Xmas the most fucking frustrating thing was kiwi drivers and their inability to accept being passed or their need to be at the front of the queue, but slow down drastically once they've passed you. It's the weirdest thing but so fucking annoying, must cause a shed load of accidents.

    <p>Shittest driving I've seen lately is someone overtaking on double yellows TWICE on the rimutakas going downhill on blind corners. Absolute fucken moron, I did the sensible thing and called *555 and saw them being spoken to by Police at the bottom of the hill.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Even my boys are wise enough to ask why does someone bother overtaking when at best they'll arrive at a destination 30 seconds quicker than we did.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Even with the improvements the Rimutakas is still a fucken pain in the arse to go over.</p>

    People like to lead the convoy of traffic travelling at 105km/h, and make stupid dangerous decisions to get there.

    <p>I think a lot of these convoys are at 105km are on a passing lane but as soon as that wide straight stretch of road changes then its back down to 80km..and then the stupidness starts</p>

    <p>sometimes, but often those people are just rubbish drivers and feel confident to 'open her up' on the passing lasnes....</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I travelled to Auckland and back today, OMG people are fucking stupid! </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>In a big long line of traffic, people make stupid moves to get ahead of you and squeeze in behind a truck, only to turn off a few hundred metres later. People being dangerous fluffybunnies makes me so angry, and as such impacts my driving, sub-consciously I end up going a little faster or follow a little closer (except the parts where I can have cruise control on; fortunately I notice the mist quickly nowadays and just drop right back for a bit)...so many trucks, roadworks and morons on dual carriageways, a very bad recipe unfortunately.</p>

    <p>Fucken love using cruise control in the rural parts and towns of Oz. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Good roads and corners, and no fear of tickets, plus if someone's tailgating it's a nice feeling to think fuck you son, go for it if you want</p>

    <p>I was on the motorway tonight and I pulled out to change into the right lane to head home and just made out a car behind me with no headlights on . The lane I was in was crawling so I could pull back in, the lane he was in was pretty clear and he was doing about 70. Arseclown.</p>

    <p>Fuck Duco, I was gonna buy a ticket to watch Parker fight down here, was waiting to see what they did with the undercard.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>No way I am going now, my 15 or so mates that paid $150 for a ticket have been well and truly ripped off</p>
