Just Something To Break The "Serious" Threads
I'm bored and just thought I'd put something interesting in here which wouldn't really suit the Chillout/Web Page section due to it's reference to sydney.....
Enjoy..
Basic Rules for Driving in Sydney.
1.Do not use indicators. Turning signals will only give away your
next move. A real Sydney driver never uses them.
2.Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between
you and the car in front of you. This is considered to be a
waste of precious road space. Another motorist will fit in that
space anyway, and that means another person getting there before
you do!
3. Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is
considered "going with the flow".
4.a) After a traffic light turns red, a minimum of three vehicles
must run it.
b) The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the
chance you have of getting hit.
c) Never take a green light at face value. Always look left and
right before proceeding.
5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive
bodywork. The other guy doesn't have anything to lose.
6. Braking is to be done as hard and as late as possible to
ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot
massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without
ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs.
7. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions
and are apparently not enforceable in the metro area during rush
hour.
8. Please remember that there is no such thing as a shortcut
during rush-hour traffic in Sydney.
9. Always slow down and rubber-neck when you see an accident or
even someone changing a tyre.
10. Everybody thinks their vehicle is better than yours,
especially 4WD drivers.
11. Learn to swerve as Sydney is the home of high-Speed Slalom
Driving thanks to the Roads and Traffic Authority, which puts
potholes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them
on their toes.
12. It is traditional in Sydney to honk your horn at cars that
don't move within several nanoseconds of the light changing
green.
13. Seeking eye contact with another driver revokes your right of
way.
14. Remember that the goal of every Sydney driver is to get there
first, by whatever means necessary.
15. Contrary to local belief, talking on your mobile phone whilst
driving is not illegal. In fact, it is arbitrary that at least
20 percent of all motorists must be on their cell phones at any
one time.
16. Real Sydney women drivers can shave their legs, put on
pantyhose and apply eye makeup at 75kph in bumper-to-bumper
traffic (whilst on the phone).
*Backlash From Webmeister Pending heheh*

5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive
bodywork. The other guy doesn't have anything to lose.

I read somewhere that the shortest interval of time known to man is actually the time between the traffic light turning green and the driver behind you honking his/her horn.
And don't get me started on women drivers
