Since I decided to claim my full left lane about a month or so ago, I had my first incidence of driver idiocy.
Heading eastbound this morning along Victoria Rd (A major artierial) at Rydalmere I was in the left lane of two. Nearby, there was a broken down car in the right lane.
Some moron behind (in a tradesman's van) decided he couldn't stand waiting the few seconds it would take for me to
a) pass the broken down car
b) reach the point shortly after where a 3rd lane opens.
Tradesman leans on his horn.
Did, I get angry? No.
I stopped to ask what was the danger he was trying to alert me to.
So, in the middle of the only open lane I stopped to investigate the danger.
Tradesman starts screaming.
I asked "Is there any danger?"
"No, get off the road!"
"I'm entitled to be here. So, there is no danger?"
"No, move"
"Do you know it is illegal to use your horn when there is no danger?"
anyway, this went on for 30-40 secs as a chorus of horns started up.
Eventually, tradesman said sorry, so I moved on.
Perhaps a little naughty, but lesson delivered and...
Scotty had fun today.
