Today on Melbourne roads:

  • Bicycle rider jumping a speed bump on the wrong side of the road nearly hit us.
  • Doing 105 on the Calder overtaking a bunch of cars doing 90. SUV towing a caravan cuts me off and proceeds to fish tail and nearly lost control a few times.
  • Tonight also on the Calder. Absolutely pissing down so most of us were cruising at 80kmh. Except for that muppet who decided that he could fly past at maybe 120.
  • Doing 80 on a very quiet rural road of some sort. No idea what I did wrong but a bird somehow managed to land a massive shit on our windshield. Of all the places and time they could've shitted, it had to be on us driving past under the tree.

Mate, Calder is the number 1 highway for fuckwits.

People that complain about the Ring road or Monash don't appreciate how good they have it.

I'll take being stuck on either of those than dealing with knobs between the airport and King's road.

So much anger and arrogance, without the skills and awareness to back it up

Calder and heavy rain= danger.

Yeah the word "freeway" on the Calder is a fucking joke.
