Seriously Canberra, its called merging not racing

Honestly awful, awful, awful.

That's how to describe a Canberra driver.

Picture this, you are making your way home, after long day, and you think today, just today, please don't piss me off. But nooooooo!!! Instead all i see is Canberrans trying to figure out what merge means and then watch them completely throw their driving skills out the window.

Every day, and every night, without fail, an idiot gets on the road. And in my way.

Does the word 'merge' mean you race me two car lengths behind me to create a bottle neck where I have no choice but to brake in order to let you in? Or just have you smash my car? Hmmmm which path shall I choose?

I would rather ram my car into yours but that is a little over the top, even for me.

Why? Why do insist on doing this every day?

Roundabouts... another issue.

Canberra is filled with them. If you were born in Canberra and drive in Canberra then you come across roundabouts at least a few times a day. Its not hard to drive up to one, within one, and out one. But nooooo!!! You still cannot figure it out. Every morning, and every night, without fail.

Its exhausting. I always think its the same drivers but it cannot be so.

Canberra drivers have such a bad rep; and its justified.

I was thought to drive by a older man, who drove for a very long time, and was pretty clear of the road rules and how to follow them.

So I don't get it?

Why do you cut me off when you can clearly see I am in the lane?

Why do you insist on using your indicator for the roundabout incorrectly and confusing the shit out of everyone around you who just sit there and wait until you leave before moving forward.

Why do you not understand the word merge? Red light? Amber light? Double lines? Speed limits? Average speed cameras? Basically anything to do with road rules?

Its annoying. Its embarrassing. And I might start calling myself a Victorian because at least they know how to drive to suit the environment.

For every Canberran who drives on Adelaide Avenue every day and every night... get out of my way and my Ford. You have been warned.

I intend to continue to ridicule Canberra drivers until one day the light bulb turns on and they get better... or I move.
