If you're slightly in front of me in the lane over and want to move into my lane, indicate and I will let you over. If you're behind me, forget it.
If you tailgate me, be warned that I can, and will, go from 80kph to a dead stop without touching the brakes. That's one advantage of a manual vehicle with a constant high range 4 wheel drive. Lots and lots of engine braking and gears aplenty. So if you think you can sit up my arse like that, maybe you might rethink it the first time you nearly hit me from behind. Oh, you've dropped back now? Good for you!
Hey lane chopper. I'm already here. <waves> Yup, in the big red 4x4 with the lights on. I know, nearly invisible as I am, how difficult it must be to see me... is that why, when you cut me off, you braked hard when you got in front of me? Poor diddums, it must have given you quite the shock seeing me suddenly appear right behind you like that.
WAKE UP!!!! Nodding off at the lights annoys those behind you.
Indicators are not an optional extra. Use 'em.
If you sit in the fast lane at less than the speed limit, I will pass you in the slow lane. I do not like mobile chicanes, but if you act like one I will treat you as one. And if you can't drive at the speed limit on single-lane each way roads, why do you suddenly turn into Ayrton Senna when you get to the overtaking lane?
If I was Queen of the World I would have automatic clearing intersections, so idjits that queue through them get automatically sucked down to the bowels of Hell. It is illegal but that doesn't seem to stop them, maybe a hot trident up the clacker might remind them.
At night, dip your lights. Or I will give you some of mine, complete with melt-tarmac-at-2000m grade spotlights.
(why yes, I'm ragey. This is my normal, everyday commute.)
