I Hate Sydney Traffic!!!

When working, I start at 7am and don't hit any traffic on my way to work. Its wonderful! I'm on holidays at the moment, which is also wonderful, but ... I took a friend to the airport this morning and hit the traffic! Its scary to think how many cars are on the road, and the majority of cars have only one person in them. No wonder traffic is banked up and it takes a half hour trip (at any other time of the day) an hour or more to drive. Its insane!

On top of the people on the road there are those people who think they own the road, the people who speed and break the road rules - the ones who never get caught but should be!!! The road is there to share, is that really so hard to get through the heads of the idiots of the road? I guess for some, it is!

After dropping my friend at the airport I decided to take a drive, that would normally take half an hour, but the traffic again was insane and took me an hour. The trip home wasn't much better, another half hour trip took me an hour. Its cray that all these people were on the road, right in the middle of the day ... does anyone work at all??

One particular driver really got up my goat, I was stuck in a lane, trying to merge in with the traffic, but no-one would let me in. Just as I was about to pull out, the guy behind me (also trying to merge into the traffic) tries to pull out in front of a bus. It kinda shocked me so I put my foot on the break to allow him through. What does he do? Blasts me like he's some big tough king of the road!!!! I'm sorry I'd like to keep my car in one piece .... oh, AND MY LIFE. I managed to pulled out in front of him and the bus, unscathed.

When he had the chance to get out of the lane he flew past me and stare the whole way past! Was it a crime for me to travel at a reasonable speed, and stay safe on the road?? Obviously this guy thought it was! Maybe he shouldn't of got his license of the back of a cornflakes box!!! It showed that his crazy speed and dodging traffic (and apparent toughness *cough cough*) did nothing for him, he didn't get any further ahead!!!

The funniest part of this whole thing was that the big tough 'king of the road' who was in fact big and beefy (thinking he was so hot without his shirt on) was driving the BIGGEST of girls cars ever - a purple Ford Festiva. I have no gripe about Festiva's because I used to drive one, but you'd probably picture such a guy driving a much bigger car. I just found it quite funny!

Well that's my gripe for the day, good evening.
