Description: "Poor guy was watching the lights change in the distance and collected the car through the intersection. Corner of George St and Murray St in Perth. Everyone was a little shaken up but not injured. Footage has been passed to both parties. Sorry no swearing and the music was just the radio."

[@thomas316]

If this continues they'll have to insist on having to pass a test.

[@kingprone7846]

the issue is that australia doesn't have the road situation which creates a sufficiently difficult test to weed out all the idiots. I.e. handling londons traffic with a manual gearbox is much more difficult than going around the block in Perth mashing your auto pedal. They try to mediate this with experience (i.e. in Australia I think you need like 100h of experience/drivers log?) but driving with your parents chilling out is not the same as an instructor watching like a hawk over you in a complex traffic situation. So people are completely underprepared. The other issue is that Australia's answer to accidents is to lower speed limits rather than improve drivers companionship and training I.e. if the urban 3 lane highways would have a limit of 120kmh or 130kmh rather than 80kmh people would stick to the left and concentrate and let people overtake properly rather than this american style driving where everyone is bored at 80kmh playing on their phone. The other Option is uk style limits i.e. 110kmh motorway, 100kmh outside towns, 50kmh inside towns, hardly any speed signs but you are expected to drive sensibly with speed limits only enforced in difficult traffic situations or close to intersections/towns. I.e. in the UK even though the speed limit is 110kmh on the motorway in long open sections you can generally get away driving 140-150kmh with police routinely driving 130 and dont care if you overtake them. that sort of stuff just wouldnt work with australians driving standard.

@@Fopalope Basically yes, the freeway speed will be 100km/h for example, and any normal person would speed up to 100km/h on the freeway on-ramp but for some reason, a lot of Perth drivers think they should be merging onto the freeway at like 60km/h - 70km/h and then speed up once they're on the freeway I deal with this on a daily and it is infuriating and extremely dangerous for cars stuck behind the person on the on-ramp as well as the ones already on the freeway

Definitely identifies everything that’s wrong with Perth drivers. From the car that took forever to react to a green light, cuts across an unbroken line to turn right and then to the colour blind Accent driver. 🤦‍♂️

[@Tee.NZ.07]

You forgot the cyclist in the beginning crossing through a red light

[@Jacko032k]

Pretty amusing how both cars were Hyundai Accents as well

[@user-ot1ue5qc5e]

Technically the car cut across before the unbroken line, and I would probably forgive him for it since it doesn't affect me or anyone else (assuming he did it safely by checking his mirror and blindspot). But the fucking late reaction to the green light pisses me off to no end. I have no patience for that shit, not being ready for signal changes. The running of the red light is another story altogether.

White hatch is asleep at the wheel or on their phone 4. White hatch cuts two lanes of traffic going right from the left lane. 5. Brown hatch goes on a green light for another intersection 40m down the road Oh, it's already a hat trick. Is that the definition of over achieving?

[@themancuniancandidate2744]

The white Hyundai driver isn't a fully trained Perth driver; he or she starts off in the left lane, and as we all know, no self respecting Perth driver ever keeps left.

[@razeezar]

Driving in the right lane in Perth derives from the same mentality as toilet paper hoarding. Everyone thinks that once there's traffic in the right lane, they'll hog it and not let anyone in, so folks preempt this and jump into the right lane while they still have a chance.
