Eating, drinking, telephones, animals, in the vehicle are distractions so why do it. Do you think you have entitled powers that others do not.

When you have a presumed clear road ahead does not give you any right to exceed the speed limit.

Do the right thing for others that have delayed passage into the traffic because you were speeding.

Speed limits are there to give equal share of the road to all drivers.
Entitlement is not a lawful code, it is ignorance, disrespect, and against the law.

Very sloppy driving skills are practised every day. The will to drive safely has been abandoned. Faults of society have increased due to entitlement of i am number one and no one else matters.

All of this behaviour will only enforce more penalties, cameras.

So be it. Jurisdictions rely on money generated by fines so deliberate speeding just ads to the income.

Speeding on town streets is very disrespectful to the persons that live there.

A pet hate of mine is drivers that 'ride' pedestrians. I remember one popular road where cars moved at 70 over the rise to turn left 100 metres on, there didn't seem to be a way for pedestrians to cross the 6 metres between the side and the island by walking at 4 kmph. Many drivers seem to be bloody mindedly targeting the peds. Walking isn't safe. Multiculturalism doesn't help. Pedestrian deaths are rising.

Canem you are absolutely right. Drivers relying on brakes are a bug bare. Come the day when your brakes can make you faster or out of control in some conditions.
If you know you have a left or right turn coming up put the indicators on now not when you are at the intersection. The law says 30 meters before you turn. half the cars on the road are in turn motion before they indicate. That is where dash cameras are best fitted as drivers will lie to save themselves. My vehicle on the back says see you on U Tube along with your rego in small print. Drivers know when they have done wrong.
You are supposed to see the leading drivers wheels where they touch the road. Self entitlement should be a crime in the making.
When is an accident not an accident. When you are over the speed limit.

This subject is foremost of Australia's number one priority. so why so little conversation on such an important discussion.

People are being murdered by lethal force on our roads every day and who cares. Certainly the ones that do not stop to see what they have done.

Others just drive to be first in line. Towing caravans or other trailers see no difference in driving a sole sedan car.

Road sharing is a lost art of driving, now is more likely you watching every single car coming toward you to see if they are going to allow you to have your side of the road.

One for all or all for one or every man for themself.
