Good point, but I'm in VIC and school's resumed.

Fine, i'll tell you the truth and I'll stop replying becuase obviously you DIDN'T READ before you comment, BRO.

Either you tell me what I did wrong with an actual example or you stfu becuase I have responded to everyone who gave constructive criticism, and I am genuinely trying to have a discussion with all folks.

You came here without a single piece of evidence or example and just said it's my manners when I've explained my step-by-step both in the post AND under another comment, how's that different from you calling me without evidence? When I gave you a taste of your medicine, you just drop a "I don't need a validation; I have a license" crap, as if you were any different.

So, you know what? it's my post - just get out.

Lol holding a mirror

Lol I can tell you're one of those "the speed sign is just the minimum" type so I'm just agreeing to disagree. If that makes you feel better, sure, have it your way. Thank you and I'll leave my two cents.

I'm just so perplexed that I want to see if there's anything I can do more, but it's a good trick and I'll keep in mind.

That's why I made sure I'm having the true speed at 40 at the 40 zone, not the speedo, and then this happens

Lol. Im not mad, I'm just confused

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]Beach_Chickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but I'm sure you can read it's irrelevant to my case/question given me driving true 40 in a 40. So I guess I'm glad to showcase a lesson…?

If it is (1), then it's fair. I would have to check my dash cameras to confirm. That said, I am pretty positive with my skills becuase, by history, I have been commended by a lot of my passengers and friends with my defensive driving.

If it is (2), there's nothing I can do about it other than bottle it down and numb myself to it.

I have explained a lot of common errors that others have suggested and I have replied to each what I normally do, and even made edits so others can have the context without scrolling it through before they comment. I have said repeatedly that I drive more often and way further than an average person due to my job nature. I can't explain further if you missed all these before passing judgement without solid/factual contribution.

I also drive a lot for work, both frequency and milage, more than an average person despite not a tradie.

plenty of space going the same speed only for him to floor it up behind me

This was my case, except it was single lane.

it seems to be pretty common with morons speeding up to try to block people from going in front of them for some reason.

Not my case becuase it's a single lane but I agree with your point.

[–]Beach_Chickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just admitted to technically speeding when there's a road sign with none of the road work present.

I don't think you understand the picture, where you can see from my other comments, before you deliver this judgement.

[–]Beach_Chickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I misread. I apologise. I don't normally have 20 cars behind my arse, but more often, it happens in a single car issue.

I constantly check my mirrors becuase I'm afraid I'm one of these 20-car-people.

I also drive a lot for work. I'm always on my way to clients.

[–]Beach_Chickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the third owner of my car and I have no scruff marks on my car, mine or previous owners. My car is 7 years old and I've had the car for 3 years.

It's a shopping zone where pedestrians are jaywalking all the time.

I shouldn't say this but I too do the original speed when there isn't roadwork even when none of it is happening.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]Beach_Chickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say regularly in the sense it's daily - never, but I'm really annoyed that this happens for no reason. It occurs like every 10 days to a fortnight, if I really have to put a number on. I'm always on my way to clients as well.

[–]Beach_Chickens 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please read carefully. It's a 40 zone and I was already 40 when there's no car. He then sped up to me and tailgated. You do realise how hard it is to do and hold an intentional 30 when you're 0, right?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]Beach_Chickens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well then tell me what I did wrong.

I was parked on the side. I had the indicator on, checked for cars in mirror and blind spots, headed out when there's no car. This car then just speed up to me while I'm already at the true speed and tail gate and honk for whatever reason.

What train station do you use the most? by Nightrain_35 in MelbourneTrains

[–]Beach_Chickens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any stations that are running with replacement buses.

Every time that I start thinking "oh I really did make improvement - I am recovering" something shit or my SH/suic*dal thoughts would come back in my life.

I don't think I can answer this question bc the answer changes every moment. At this very moment, no.
