GASP! What a shocking concept!

I've spent 6 weeks total driving in NSW, with my wife constantly
updating me on various laws and rules of the road, and telling me what
infractions cost. And they do cost, dearly. Driving there certainly is
not considered the God-Given-Right that most Americans take it for!

I have to say, overall, driving in NSW is a pleasure compared to driving
anywhere in California. Drivers, at least in rural NSW, appear to
overwhelmingly obey traffic laws. My only gripe is during long drives on
2 lane roads to nearby towns, overtaking drivers will tailgate a car
length or less at 100km/hr while waiting for an opportunity to pass.

When I'm being tailgated, I slow down until the idiot tailgater passes
me, gives me the finger, and heads on to wherever he's in such a hurry
to crash.

Cheers!
