This is my ode to the Canberra driver.
To the driver that merges correctly, without any delay or stress to the other driver or themselves, I thank you.
To the driver that enters a roundabout without any trepidation or any desire to change lanes halfway or cut off other drivers or just doesn't look when entering the roundabout, I thank you.
However, I wish to point to the other Canberra drivers that I am not thankful for the Sunday driver. This driver drives like its Sunday but seven days a week, they drive 10 kilometres under the speed limit in the fast lane, while trying to look at their GPS and still getting it wrong.
I ask why are you allowed to drive? Why are you allowed to be on the road?
I also ask you to please remain off the road for the benefit of everyone else.
Then there is the driver who attempts to park but doesn’t quite manage to park (a) straight (b) in between their designated lines or (c) without scratching my car. Thanks, alot!!! You cost me $200 bucks.
Then there is the driver who thinks they are so special that they have to talk on their mobile while travelling 100 kilometres an hour down a highway instead of just calling the person back.
Just a reminder, you are not the Prime Minister, the President or a F1 driver. You are not that special. The world will not end if you don’t answer that phone call straight away.
See I am one of those drivers who has been guilty one of these errors … answering the phone but I have hands free so there! I do it ever so rarely.
Why! Why of why! Must Canberra drivers drive like they have their blinkers on, with dark shades at night while closing their eyes? WHY?
Every time I get on the road I see yet another idiot driving like there is no tomorrow, and as if they got their licence off a cornflakes box!
And don’t get my started on the dicks who do up their Hyundai Excels or Holden Barinas and think they are real men! Please! You’re just a little man with nappies still on.
Or to the girl who sticks a Bad Girl sticker on her Barina and thinks she is all that and a bag of chips. No, you're not. You need a kick up the arse.
This is my ode to Canberra drivers… I just want to please get off the road and leave us be.

Hiya,

Whoops! I thought i would try to be creative and change the setting... didnt work. Mute that idea.
Im doing great. I have sent my reply to your letter. Good letter by the way. ;-)
xoxoxo
Oh goodie - looking forward to getting your letter.
And I totally agree about Canberra drivers - especially that bit about roundabouts! Why do so many people find roundabouts so strange and difficult?
You're* all that and a bag of chips.
Brush up on your grammar before criticizing others :P

My bad! Appreciate any feedback and will make the changes...
It’s more of an observation than a criticism but I am a Canberra native and know what I am talking. If you are a local then we can share some stories... :-)
