23-10-07, 18:56 GMT+10#83 People on push bikes pretty much, especially when they have a bike lane and dont use it! even more so when they duck up the middle of traffic at a red light and try and beat everyone off the line on the green, and finally when you have to pass them again after they've pulled their stunt.
That and the lights out front of lake gardens, they bloody change red every time i come up that bloody road! argh! (if you're from ballarat you'll probobly know what im talking about here lol)
Oh not to mention a few others...
Taxi drivers, not all but 20% are roadraged idiots that often dont know / obay road rules!
The elderly, 20km/h under the limit is not a good thing, even if you are concerned about penis size
People that drive slow, then speed up once you've over taken them
People that clearly speed through school zones, then complain about p platers being hoons.
Police that set a bad example for others.
Being followed, often enough by silver VE's with 3-4 arials... geez wonder what it could be...
People that try and change lanes 20m before their turn off, end of sturt st is shocking for it... (again a ballarat thing)
Seeing nice VL's because it reminds me how pos mine is lol...

apologies for my generalization and internet heroism.
Apologia excepted. i also apologies for my first statement. and i know how hard it is to loose a friend in an accident i have lost 3 mates in truck accident in the last 6 months all the accidents were caused by car drivers. the last one was cause by a car driver taking a corner too wide and my mate instead of hitting him ran off the road rolled on his side and was crushed by a power pole that came in through the windscreen. so you can see what i dislike car drivers.
The RTA last year release some figures of heavy vehicle accidents which stated that in accident involving a car and truck 78% of the time the car was at fault. so the writings on the wall.
Ive seen a lot of death and distruction in my time as a truck driver and very rarly has it involved a truck. ive watch 2 girls burnt to death cause they were driving stupid and hit a tree ive seen a girl huging her dead boyfriend on the road because he tried to wheelie his bike and fell off and his best mate ran him over. ive seen heaps.
As for QFM i dont entirely agree i know a few of the guys that work there and there are some good law abiding drivers but also a lot of fools take for example the 1 who got caught for possession twice in a week both times by the same cop in the main street of Kempsey. unfortunately his old man also work for the company and is one of the good ones but has now copped an unbelievable amount of crap. I think QFM put them self up for a lot of unwanted attention with the way they present their truck (millionssssssss of lights) see it only takes 1 guy in a QFM truck to stuff up and the cops come down on all of them weather they have done the wrong thing or not. the company i work for has had 2 drivers arrested and charge with possession in the last week and one caught for doing 135kmh. but because we drive plain white trucks without any sign writing or distinguishing features we wont get hassled. as for the anger thing i know what you mean! on Wednesday night last week a P plater thought it would be funny to throw a bottle at my drivers side window as he overtook me, it came in the window and i almost ran off the road he them turned his lights off and took off at high speed but made the mistake of trying to make his get away down a dead end street and ended up getting dragger out through his drivers side window.
In my opinion the transport industry has some major problems most of which are caused by large companies like coles woolworths toll ipec. placing unrealistic demands on Transport companies and them passing them on to the driver.
And the fact that drivers are payed by the kilometer which tends to make them pretty angry when they are getting 28c a kilometer which translates to $28 an hour if they can average 100kmh and little jonny on his L plates decides to get out on the highway for some practice and drives at 50.
The government really needs to regulate freight prices and transit times for freight. i think that would solve a lot of the problems
I know most of you hate and despise trucks but think what you life would be like without them
as some one once said the only things trucks dont deliver is babies
when you have your breakfast how did the milk get there
how did you cloths get to the shop
how did the petrol get to the petrol station to fill your car
Without Trucks this country would comes to a grinding halt!
The Government Expects that road freight will double on Australian Roads by 2020
so start getting used to it its only going to get worse

Also, people who block intersections so both ways off traffic are blocked. very very annoying

i see where your comming from kenworth,and you made some interesting points backed up by statistics in that post which i have taken on board,
its funny you mention kempsy and QFM in the same sentence,reminds me of my first dealings with truckdrivers as a 21 yr old red p plater(coudnt be stuffed taking the green p test for years) me and two friends were heading to
sydney and pulled up at coffs for fuel at the servo on the south side that servo the truck drivers use,somehow we had all walked out wearing red hooded jumpers(yeah, lame i know, but boys dont consult each other on the phone about what were wearing prior to going somewhere)and the truck that pulled up next to us had two females(i use the word loosly ) in it as well as two blokes(we figured they were lowies they picked up).anyway as i was fueling up the women were giving us **** about being in a red car and wearing red jumpers just loud enough for me to hear,i let it go as they were pond scum,but as i was taking off they kicked it up a notch and started laughing directly at us,so i stopped and politly said"excuse me miss do you highway hoars charge more for sucking off truck drivers?"in my most courteous voice.boy did they scream like harpies,real ladylike stuff.
any way im about 50 ks down the road and this truck flies up next to us and **** starts getting thrown at my car and these fugly moles are abusing us,well i ignored them(again cause they were smashed crabs) untill this rig tries to put me off the road at 100 ks an hour,i braked hard and just managed not to be put off the road,then we got angry.so i tryed to get up beside them to offer them out of there truck at the overtaking lane only to be pushed into innocent oncoming traffic by thees QFM cowboy heros,again we only just avoided a horrific accident by a bit off lock up and dare i say my best bit of defensive driving to this date.i thought "fuck this" and settled the boys down and said we'll follow them to melbourne if we have to.anyway they were wanting some fun to cause as we approached the traffic lights at kempsey they slowed down to get a red(stupid cunts)and this skinny inbred jumps out and all these trucks pull up behind us blocking us in.all these ultra tough truck drivers get out of there trucks and this inbreed runs at our passenger door blocking in the smallest of us all,my mate shaun got to him before me and pumped him stpid while i went at the other random truck drivers with my trusty metal thing,and brocky went at the driver of the offending truck who took off leaving his mate posted and trying to run after his ride(and pissing out blood )the hero truckies who had nothing to do with the event suddenly changed there tune when they realised we had a bit of dash and **** the gear.suddenly they were all timid little girls who didnt like 6 against 3 odds (like anything that runs in a pack).so everyones screaming for the police(youd know how public those traffic lights are)and baling and we were taking number plates of cars that had watched it unfold and finnish(i no silly)and we were given looks by QFM drivers ultill i got rid of that car cause it stood out like the proverbial.
that is why i give them QFM boys therapy every chance i get,and will continue to do so cause i saw them take matters too far untill it was time to get out of there trucks.
lesson for me:some people can give but cant take it,theyll actually try to kill innocent drivers just to teach some smartasses a lesson.
lesson for them:sometimes youll find red p platers arnt 17,and will have a crack better than 40 year old men.also they found that there other weak mates will leave them posted no matter how much they talk tough on the CB radios when it lookes like theyll actually have to do more than beat up p platers outnumbering them two to one.
now thats my longest post ever.
(you think his were long smpchicky )
