The best Aussie proverb I’ve copped is “get the fuck off the road you dickhead”, when I was riding my bike in a bike lane. Genuinely confusing stuff

Hate for cyclists is very Australian, unfortunately

Well if they didn't keep doing dumb shit I wouldn't have to get mad at them.

I don't think baguettes should be driving. You might be the problem there 😜 Jk

I'm sure, somewhere in this great land, there is a cyclist who has some idea of the road rules. To them I send my admiration.

Believe me, on a bike you cop abuse even when no dumb shit is being done whatsoever, so I don’t think that’s the issue.
But sure, some riders are dumb just like some car drivers are dumb and stupid behaviour is a bad thing regardless of who does it

I so agree with you. It's very much the oh I saw 1 person doing something stupid and that's what stuck with me not the 10 times they were doing something perfectly reasonable. But I ride a motorbike around Melbourne and see at least a few people on page push bikes every week running lights jumping on the footpath and hauling ass down there. It's nuts.

"Nice blinker ya fucken dumb cunt!"

See in the UK my proverb is:
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SIGNAL YOU FUCKING KNOB HEAD CUNT. WHY DON'T YOU GO AND DIE!"
A bit different, but I think they have the same meaning once broken down properly.

Linguists will be studying it for years to come.

If they were cunning linguists, it wouldn’t take them as long.

Well I can ask. I have one working under me at the moment.

Blinker! Fuckin' drongo
The above works for both this post and situations where a fellow motorist does not correctly indicate their intentions.

Where are you? I'm in WA and have never heard anyone use the term blinker

Said this 3 times on a 15 minutes drive today. Also said: “oi dickhead, light is green” and “hey fucknugget move over” a couple of times for good measure.

The more expensive the car, the less likely indicators will be used

POV: you are driving a white tradie ute

I was driving about last night and a red P driver overtook and then cut across my lane right in front of me to get into the right turning lane. Can confirm that this was one of the many Australian proverbs I used.

Fuck me. Had a dickhead do this to me today and he got a lot of left arm waving, a solid finger and a tirade of abuse he never heard.
Turning right out of a set of lights on my bike, indicator on. Car facing me with no indicator, so I rolled into the intersection to wait for them to go straight and they started creeping forward but not moving through the intersection. Next thing, stupid cunt is turning fucking right, giving an apology wave BUT STILL NOT FUCKING INDICATING!
Seriously, it's a big fucking stick that your hand moves past when you spin the wheel, one finger is all that is needed. It's not that fucking hard.

Had a similar experience the other day with a VW facing me, expect this muppet had his wipers going full boar when it wasn't even raining. I had to laugh when I realised that he forgot which side of the steering wheel the indicator was on.

I have a Holden and a VW. Swapping cars does cause this.

We never alert our enemies to our intentions.

How the fuck do these morons get through their day!?!?

So true. Think I say it everyday

Get the fuck out of the right hand lane you fucktard

Surely it would be blinker?

It’s indicator. Blinkers are what BMWs use because the drivers always forget to fill up their blinker fluid ^^^^^/s

nah mate, blinkers is what the dumb cunt who pulls out infront of you is wearing
