rian Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) WGMG - People overtaking on the left on the highway. Should be illegal IMO. Edited January 12, 2012 by rian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I wouldn't do it but usually some f**k tard is doing 10kph under the speed limit in the fast lane. Correct. I'm more than happy to pass in the LH lane if some idiot is off in his own world not doing the speed limit. Oblivious or just ignorant either way it shits me, Makes me want to hurl random items at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can get fined for driving in the right hand lane, you are meant to keep left unless over taking, some people just don't get the idea and sit in the right lane piss farting around.

Yep, I'm the same but I do my left side passes with caution now a days. Had a good one the other day. You how the cars get around with "interested? " then a mobile as their for sale sign. Well we came up behind a car with that on the back window and so we sent the number a text message "No not interested but you can phucking move over idiot." I believe the message got through cause they moved over and the driver showed us his intelligence score as we passed them :) Edited January 12, 2012 by towe001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ke70dave Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 haha brilliant. yeah underpassing can't be avoided sometimes. what has surprised me lately, after doing a fair bit of highway driving on the xmas/new year break, alot of people arent doing the speed limit, they all sit ~5km under? i had the GPS going on a trip to noosa and a few trips to the goldy, and sitting on exactly 110km/h or 100km/h (which ever is relevant), and i was sitting in the right hand lane and going past everyone... and at the sight of any car parked on the side of the road they slam on the brakes and are now doing 15km/h under... mmm speed cameras stop accidents, not sure about that.

orangeLJ Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I admittedly sit over the speedlimit a fair bit (drive the F3 freeway twice a day) But even if I do the posted speed limit, I still find myself overtaking 90% of those on the road.... I know 100% that my speedo is correct, so WTF is wrong with the other people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think its to do with ADR18/03. There's a lot more of these cars on the road now so the effect is more noticeable. Previously the requirement was ±10%. ADR18/03 states that a speedo cannot read under the actual speed of the car. So if you're travelling at 100km/h it cannot read 99km/h under test conditions. However it can read 4km/h+10% over the actual speed. So, of course, manufacturers ensure that their speedo reads over the actual speed so they can cruise through this ADR. The formula used is: 0 ≤ (V1 - V2) ≤ 0.1 V2 + 4 km/h Where V1 is the speed displayed and V2 is the true speed. At 100km/h my 07 Hilux reads 107 (and I know of others with different drivetrains that read the same), my brothers 07 Golf reads 105. So if you sit on what you know is the corrected speed you can cruise past people on the highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tume Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Cruising past people while doing the speed limit.... Doesn't happen in Darwin :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
