Fourfuxsache keep out of the right hand lane unless you are overtaking. It's not that hard to figure out is it? 90% of people are too scared to really speed and a few kms/hour aren't going to make that much difference to your overall journey time. Just sit in that left lane, Grin and bear it. If you are going to overtake do so at least 15-20 kms/h faster than the car you're overtaking so you're in the right lane as little time as possible. The speeding tables go something like 0-9 and then 9-14 so 15-20 over Shouldn't aggravate the cop that much if you are inattentive enough to be spotted doing this. And stay out of the right hand lane where possible on any road that will support it including all the freeway, Tunnel and ramps. ESPECIALLY the bit through the centre of Perth. You probably aren't aware that there are people in Perth who actually have somewhere to go or be.
What can I say, Perth drivers really are the worst in the country (some say the world) at this, What is so hard about it? If car A is in front of car B in a merging lane situation, Car A has the right of way, It doesn't get much simpler than that, but oh no, not in Perth, Why on earth would BOTH of them slow down? What about using some of that grey matter and try and figure out, If a car has its indicator on maybe its driver wants to change lanes and if I don't make it too difficult we'll all get where we're going a bit smoother and quicker. And if you're the driver that wants to change lanes what's the first thing you do? No DONT de-celerate and brake, Never have figured that one out. You let other drivers know what you want by INDICATING and then committing to the maneuver, Not driving along wondering if I slow down enough some one will let me in, Truly pathetic.
Well this is a doozy, I can't believe drivers sit there at an intersection or slip lane waiting for a gap in BOTH lanes so they can join the traffic, What do people think they're driving for petes sake? A truck? Position your vehicle so you're in a position to accelerate quickly in as straight a line as possible, Don't pull out then try and turn and accelerate. And when you're turning into a two lane roadway from the right turn lane where do you think you're supposed to go (according to the law as well as common sense?) YES, the RIGHT lane! Every second car in Perth must have dodgy power steering cause there is a BIG problem with getting the cars to stay in their lane when turning and joining traffic. We are disadvantaged here in Perth by not having the free left turn, But you'd think the adaptable human would find a way to compensate for this shortfall, But no. You all just bumble along.
Even Joe Lunchbox couldn't stuff this up you're thinking. Right? Wrong! Traffic lights aren't all that smart and they all follow only a couple of programmes. Just watch a few and you'll pick it up. And when you have, try this, Just before the light/arrow changes to green, TRY AND PUT THE FUCKING CAR IN GEAR AND BE READY TO PULL AWAY QUICKLY SO AT LEAST MORE THAN THREE CARS GET THROUGH BEFORE THEY CHANGE! All to do with actually driving like you have somewhere to go I spose.
