Suggestions for car drivers (cont.)

Turning into a Two lane roadway: When you're turning right into a two lane roadway from the right turn lane where do you think you're supposed to go (according to the road rules as well as common sense)? YES, the RIGHT lane! I can understand why a semi-trailer truck would need to swing out wide into the outside lane - but a car?! Every second car driver in Perth seems to have a major problem keeping his/her car in their lane when turning into a 2 lane road. If everyone kept to their own lane, traffic would flow smoother and everyone would be safer. Also, drivers turning at an intersection or from a slip lane shouldn't have to wait for a gap in BOTH lanes before they can turn or join the traffic - just wait till the nearest lane is clear and then go!

Allow other vehicles to merge and change lanes: If another vehicle, especially a motorbike has its indicator on it should be obvious that they want to change lanes or merge. For pity's sake allow them to do so! Don't accelerate to close off the gap!
