It as if we are targeting the defenceless

Admission of guilt I rarely use my mobile phone but I have on occasion answered it whilst driving, but also attempting manfully to concentrate on the driving task. In my restricted driving experience, I have yet to see a driver texting. Particular situation about five years ago, driving to the large parking station at Olympic Park on the circumferential road (no directory handy so I cannot give you the street name but the one you take after turning off at Australia Ave). The driver in front was on his mobile phone (Qld number plates!) and driving at about 30 kph. When he got to the two lane section at a left turnoff, he then accelerated in the righthand lane so that there was no chance to pass. As soon as we reverted to one lane again, he dropped back to 30 to continue his conversation. When we reached the two lane section in the Newington vicinity he then straddled both lanes at 30 kph still on the phone for more than half a kilometre. When I finally managed to pass him, I doubt that he managed to hear my request for him to get off the phone. That was at least 3 km of mobile phone angst! Chris WilkinsonTurramurra NSW Drivers behaving badly article. Congratulations on a wonderful article Drivers behaving badly Drive Life 1 Feb 08. The article really summed up the transgressions better than any other motoring media article before it. One sin that might be worthy of a mention in its own right, notwithstanding that it may be contributed to by the sins already covered, is the sin of I want to be where you are, I dont care if you are already there a.k.a. the CutOff. One iteration of this sin is the adjacent lane cut off. Unintentionally this can occur through inattention (mobile phone or otherwise) or carelessness (no head checks) as the transgressor moves in front of you with little to no warning requiring your best evasive action. Intentionally, the adjacent lane cut off results from your vehicular neighbour impatience and their simple need to be where you are more than you do. Of more concern is the second iteration the no giving way cut off. This is Rosetta Stone Language where a car enters a high speed traffic situation from a side road with little regard to the prevailing traffic, usually in front of a car with nothing but clear road behind it. Obviously once they do this it would be imprudent for them to accelerate at a rate to minimise the chance of collision! No the aim of the game here is to test the braking effectiveness and passenger restraint systems of the prevailing car. Headlines are just waiting to go to print should the prevailing car be towing anything, including a tailgater. Great work and have a great (and safe) weekend.Andrew Kiejda Pet Hates on the Road Drivers who enter from a left feeder road on to motorways or multiplelane roads as if they have unarguable right of way, and expect cars in the left lane to move to the right without regard to existing traffic in that lane. Many times I've seen this cause extremely dangerous situations, and occasionally collisions. Trucks and semis are the worst offenders since they have might on their side and assume that most car drivers will simply slow right down or change lanes. Gillian AppletonLeura Pet hates on the road Dear Editor, My pet hate at the moment is this current plague of bashing elderly drivers in the media. We have another burst from Joshua Dowling today who talks about carnage. What carnage? It as if we are targeting the defenceless. What exactly is the problem with them. I live in Pymble and there are probably as many round here as anywhere in Sydney. It seems to me that their biggest difficulty is that they drive too slowly sometimes. Big deal! Dowling quotes some suspicious statistics. He states that National crash figures show that deaths of over 60 have increased by more than the national average.
