perth drivers are shit

!!!ATTENTION IDIOT SANDGROPERS WHO HAVE DRIVER’S LICENCES!!!

Slip lanes! For the purpose of getting turning cars out of moving traffic, so everyone can continue on without stopping. Little bitumen miracles! Unless they’re not used correctly, and - surprise, surprise - you don’t use them correctly.

Slip lanes are various lengths depending on a few of things: the speed at which you are estimated to be travelling when you enter the lane, how long you will need to brake to make the turn safely, and how much turning traffic there is at any given moment.

Hard to grasp, I know, but that’s what Planning & Infrastructure is all about. They figure this stuff out, so we can use the roads easily.

So, how about this? Next time you are about to move into a slip lane for the purposes of turning left or right, try not to brake to a stop before you pull in. What gets me is the people who do this when there’s no one in front of them in the slip lane.

Why are you slowing down?!

You have at least 20 metres to slow down before you get to the turn!

Keep going!

You don’t slow to a near-stop when you change lanes regularly, right? So why do it for a slip lane?

Fecking idiots. That’s right, I’m talking to you.

*Please Note: For the completely moronic, please remember to brake as early as you need to if the slip lane is full of cars. I don’t want to be causing no accidents, duder.
