merging without looking or indicating and almost causing crashed A LOT
running red lights constantly
impatient drivers tailgating others, the list can go on
Don't come to Perth there isn't really much to do here, there's some good roads to drive on though, plenty of kangaroo's though
Getting on the buses in Melbourne is like risking your own life. If you ever come down to Melbourne, never get on a bus. Ive been on some shocking buses, a few highlights of the bus service of Melbourne:
-Bus dropped a burn out going around a corner
-Buses dragging each other along Wellington Rd
-Lights only have one colour with bus drivers; green
-Bus went up on 2wheels while driving over a bridge with freight train going underneath (on next bus stop, only 2 people stayed on the bus...)
-Buses are notorious for taking out Keep Left signs
-Bus taking out a stray tree branch and continued on its way like nothing happened
-Lady bus driver with hip hop on full, one of the better drivers out there
-Bus driving up over the train lines while the gates are down...
-Constant speeding
There are some good bus drivers though, they are rare but they are out there. There are worse than bus drivers; Taxi drivers...
