There are a lot of persons that use car parks as speed ways marked at 20 km/h. Arrogance at it's best.
Serial offenders of road rules need to be taken off the road and re educated and if that fails off the road for life.
Fines are inadequate and need to be at a level that has real deterrence no smoking, no eating, no excessive noise, Every person driving needs to be 100% responsible at all times.

Caravaners driving like the caravan does not exist. When they come to grief the caravan ends in a pile of junk. Heading to Blackall a caravan left his second axle on a cattle grid. The driver said he was trying to catch up with his mate that left Melbourne the day before he did.

School holidays just another reason to have wholesale carnage on the roads from drivers that have very urgent driving skills or think they have more right on the roads than others.
The best part of going somewhere is the scenery, instead of creating large doses of anxiety, by wanting to be the first in a line of traffic setting a bad behaviour with kids on board.

doog,
I can't stop repeating that mentality is the cause of all this. This poor mentality could be drastically improved by the introduction of a National Service. 18months -24 months in that service will open eyes & mind & an appropriate appreciation for the privilege of being part of this society ! Driving would be one of the biggest winners.

I agree with Indyvidual that the undisciplined behavior on the roads is a symptom of a wider problem of discipline. This is an indication of a lack of leadership. John Kennedy was a democrat, perhaps not very well known for their discipline, (but he was perhaps redeemed as a Christian Catholic), however he was correct when he said "that we don't do it because it's easy, but because it's hard".

In the days of national service kids were leaving school at a far younger age like 16 years old, as i did and became apprentice.
School leavers are now expected to stay in school until 18 years old.
That was the age of national service.
Either apprentice or national service teaches respect for leaders and time keeping. Now there is neither, we have adult apprentice and no national service.

Turn signals. The recommended distance is 30 meters before you turn. So where did that go. Sometimes you get 2 flashes then turn. A good reason to stay back. You leave half a car spacing and someone will want to get into it.
How often do you see drivers after negotiating a roundabout drive up the bike lane, instead of getting the idea of what a steering wheel; is all about
