I totally agree. Creating a car centipede is totally unacceptable.

People who do this honestly think they need to turn left to turn right and won’t understand what you mean

Downvotes are all from Ranger drivers who make a left to turn right

They’re also the sort of people who slow down to 10km/h and ignore the shoulder/bike lane to execute a simple left turn, holding up everyone behind them

the same kind of cunt that brakes on the motorway to take an exit 300m down the road

That’s because they think their car is massive 😖

I’ll see that and raise you the driver who turns into a right-turning sliplane at the last second and sits with their rear quarter blocking the main lane until it’s clear to go.

You should see them going around roundabouts in Bathurst.

This really pisses me off too – if I can make the turn without swinging out in my big fat muscle car, your tiny hatchback should have no problem!

I secretly hope they sideswipe my car doing it and then have to pay for it and I get to buy a better, fancier car. Probably not how any of this works but I can dream.

The big swing out, the amount of people who do it and are totally oblivious to everyone in the other lane

100%.
And also people who do the same thing turning left. Unless you’re driving a truck, you don’t need to swing out to the right to turn left except on private driveways.

I thought this was referring to when you’re trying to turn right at a light with no green arrow, so you sit in the intersection waiting for traffic to clear but you get someone else, sometimes a couple of people, who pull up behind you to do the same thing. The rules are ONE PERSON AT A TIME waiting in the intersection, because sometimes you can’t turn until the light goes amber or red and the idiots behind you panic and beep you even though you literally cannot turn yet.

You also see people doing this for U turns.

My pet peeve is the red car going straight. For some reason that bastard always seems to slow down while I’m waiting for it to pass so i can make my turn

Mine is people who tail gate whilst I’m leavimg a gap in front of me whilst the car ahead is going slow. It’s literal smooth-brain shit.

Correct. One must be aware of the basics of drifting before attempting a drift into oncoming traffic
Optimal-Talk3663 on
My pet hate is when there’s a slip lane to turn, and the person indicates and then takes forever to actually get their car into the turning lane so I can overtake them

Many moons ago when I successfully completed my driving test for a WA license, the instructor told me that there was only one issue which he could have decided to fail me over, and it was that pulling into a traffic-lighted intersection on a green light without an arrow & giving way to the opposite side of the road also legally requires the turning car to not enter the intersection any further than the car’s length past the bold white stop line in waiting to turn.
It would have been only a little over the car length I had moved into what was a very large intersection before turning.
Over a decade later, it is unsurprising seeing multiple cars queueing up into the middle of smaller intersections.

These are the same people that leaves 10m of space between cars when stopping at a red light

My peeve is people who won’t enter the intersection to wait to turn. Not every light will give you an arrow or a gap. If it goes orange while you’re in the intersection, you get to legally turn, and it moves the queue forward.
BinnFalor on
My biggest issue with these people is that if they just drive straight (obviously not crossing other cars turning) it’ll be fine. I really think drivers need to be shown a safe yet fast speed that they can turn.
I have a hatchback, the suspension is relatively compliant and I know that taking a normal turn at a normal speed won’t unsettle the car. I drove mum’s Everest, it’s a little floaty, but I got used to how that car turned. Yet I never swung the car out. I just drove like a normal person.

So many drivers with no awareness of their vehicle’s turning circle, act like they are driving road trains
