Default Eratic Driving

A few days ago I walking through the carpark of Toowong village over looking Coronation Drive and heard a distinctive engine noise which turned out to be a black Aventador. The traffic wasn't peak hour but it wasn't far short and the Aventador raced through the traffic dodging and weaving between lanes with many other drivers having to take evasive/emergency braking, They say that money can buy you many things but it doesn't give you the right to drive like a total Bogan.

I could not see who was driving the car, but my point is there can't be too many black Aventadors in Brisbane, anyone else seen this car and its eratic driving? This is the sort of driving which is not going to end well for those involved.

I see people in all types of cars doing this.
But if you do it in a rare car you are even more thick due to people remembering you easily and cops not have much trouble spotting you in traffic.

You know most people who can afford an 800K car car probably afford to live and enjoy life outside of this Nany Country ... so even if the cops get him, so what??? hes gonna pay a 2K fine which is like $2 for him, and then just do the same someplace else ... yes the world is unfair but what are you complaining about?

They might think themselves outside the law because of the car they own and the ability to pay the fine easily...but all it takes is one angry motorist in a rusty old four wheel drive who has the idiot cut in front of him suddenly and the fourbie driver to go "Well...why not?" and just plough into the back of him...after all, it would be the Aventador drivers fault for weaving in traffic...

Yes Matte Black, would explain why they were driving like idiots in such a highly recognizable car. I predict the car wont be on the road for much longer, either smashed or gain such notoriety that it will attract the law at every opportunity and become a victim of the hoon laws.

you don`t even need to be out on the road in sunny Melbourne, just up the road from our place is coles /kmart campbellfield, it`s an eye opener to see people wizzing through crowded car parks at 40/50 kph, i was there one day and there where 2 cars in a head on that would do justice to a medium speed main road crash, no shortage of ratbags.

you can drive how you like when you own an Aventador!

You pretty much own the road.... out of pure respect other motorists should pull over and make way

Single lane roads. No traffic to weave through.

I also have the unfortunate pleasure of witnessing the madness of that carpark and I make sure I never have to go there now. I will go 50km in the other direction just so I don't have to visit that Kmart.

But that's because the highway patrol (reluctant to call them police because that is tarnishing the reputation of all the good, decent, proper coppers out there) have nothing else to do in their sordid, miserable lives.

If we are to hold a drivers licience should we not be able to do the speed limit at the very least except under exceptions if the vehical isn't able to do it say a E2200 mazda ute for example especally one going up a hill. On the flats you have to try at least to maintain the speed limit.
If NOT you just hold every other road user up and if he/she over takes YOU get in a huff.
OR if you are doing under the speed limit and some one who is doing the right full speed comes up behind you, (possibly in your mind getting to close) you think You ******* and start decellerating OR breaking, (Ha that will fix you *******) WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ******* behind you is thinking?

Don't complain when he/she goes taring past ,maybe even getting close ((an inch is as good as a mile)) just to get away from you.
would you break? (PROBALLY) you know if you cause some one else to run into the back of you YOU the car in front PAYS!

I accept that everyone has not the same driving skills but there is a speed limit for a reason PLEASE DO IT and this goes dobble in a 10km zone OR what ever is expected.

WE WOULD ALL BE HAPPIER!
