Feb 14 - The Ride Home

A heavy backpack and slightly stiff legs made for a particularly joyous ride home. This evening's highlights:
- bonehead in a Daewood Nubira who pulled a bit of a thing I hate. When you get to the Greenwich Road interesection with the Pacific Highway, the Pacific Highway cuts back from three lanes to two, with the left lane really a pseudo-left turn only lane, except for buses and boneheads who think they're too important to wait with everyone else. A little tip - if you're driving a Nubira wagon, you're not too far up the chain. Caught him before Epping Road, too....
- people who decide their quest to turn right is so important it warrants blocking part of Epping Road. I mean, it is only the major route north out of the largest city in the country, so we'll all wait, with a building wall of traffic behind us, as your filthy white Hyundai Excel breaks the law and nearly runs over pedestrians.

Another beef is the young bloke at work who drives the hotted up Honda Civic. Sits about three inches off the ground and has a pretty loud motor, and needless to say he flogs it, despite losing his license last year. Heard him howling along behind me near the Fig Tree bridge this evening, might quietly mention within his ear-shot that I thought I saw a speed camera along there last night....
