Perth was also reported to have the highest number of ‘A to B’ drivers in Australia. These motorists drive “because it’s a convenient way to get around, not because I enjoy driving. I don’t feel any connection with my car.”

As confirmed by the huge numbers of Corollas in Perth....

Indeed... when I first started driving around Perth and it's suburbs, a few weeks ago, I noticed my standard "making progress" mode of driving set me apart from about 95% of the other drivers.
In other words, I stood out like a sore thumb!

So, in "spirited driving" mode I think one might end up categorised as social outcast or even terrorist!!!
Being a smoker I'm already a social leper anyway so what the hell.>

My poor free-spirited (formerly) Aussie cousins... what has the establishment done to you all???!!!

It's looking like it's only a matter of (short) time before the old collar gets felt.

You guys should pop over to Singapore where everyone seems to think that they are Kazuki Nakajima (in driving style and number of crashes)

Yep, as a "driver" you are in a tiny minority in Perth. Most people are simply passengers with a steering wheel. Try and drive at the (too low) speed limit on Tonkin Highway for example, and you won't get far, any time of the day or night there will be a rolling roadblock of brain dead idiots blocking both lanes at 10-20KPH below the limit
I've tried the usual, flashing them will normally cause them to brake test or flick the finger and ensure that they remain in formation.
You have to take them by surprise and get a run on them before they have a chance to block you in...

Aye, a regular feature on the Mitchell I'm sorry to say, still... some judicious left lane(s) "passing" eventually gets the job done.

I've had finger flick...

I'm thinking of getting "the finger" stickers made up for me and putting them on the driver's door below the window, WW2 fighter pilot stylee!

Still as long as they're not taking you out with them it can provide some entertainment...

I thought it was Nikynakynoo (whatever his name is) was the dent-collector... maybe he's in competition with Nakajima...

All i can say is that they are agressive in the maximum and have ability in the minimun.
