Traffic sure was arsehole this morning... Everyone impatient to get back to work after the long weekend I guess. Accidents everywhere, tailgating like crazy all over the shop. I guess not that much different to normal really but definitely an extra edge of angst.

I might just be getting crankier as I get older, but I swear bad driving from everything you described to lack of indication, sudden swerve lan changes, misc stopping randomly etc etc, all seemed to be getting worse/more common about Brisbane in the last few years or so?

I don't think it is old age. There are more people on the road so more likely to come across arseholes who don't want to follow the rules are just being impatient dicks.

I watched the Dash Cam Australia crash compilation over the weekend. A lot of those crashes could have been avoided, by either defensive driving, patience, or not being on their phones. Also, those attempted U-turns from the left lane were actually just insane.

Man I love watching dash cam Aus, but boy it is a bit rage inducing at times haha
