There are plenty of other ways to slow drivers down other than inappropriate attempts at attacking male sexuality. And as others have stated, we all see the plethora of girls racing around, whilst on their mobiles and doing their makeup on the freeways every single day.

I’m sick of being the target of numerous, and uncalled for “Pinky Wiggles” from these same women who think they are model motorists, or have a free ticket to hoon cause they don’t have a penis.

I have these incompetent females give this gesture even when i’m clearly in the right.
It’s getting to the point where women will signal the gesture whenever they see fit.

I can definitely see a spate of road rage incidents because these women take it upon themselves to become traffic wardens. It’s not your job, you suck at it, and you’re clearly in the wrong 90 percent of the time anyway. Then proceed to “Pinky” me??? Where the hell do you get off?

Just the other day i had a woman sit right on my quarter panel as i was trying to merge. I accelerated and then quickly merged in front of her before i hit a parked car, and then this girl proceeded to give me the pinky gesture.

The law states that whoever is in front has the right of way and must allow the other vehicle to merge. I was clearly 3/4 of a car length in front of her. This law is in place to increase traffic flow from merge lanes so we’re not all sitting there stagnant while arrogant drivers (like this lady) whizz past not allowing people in.

So, to the arrogant lady in the black Astra, what am i supposed to do in order to please you? Come to a grinding halt in the merge lane, just so you can go past, and i can keep my masculinity?

My advice to all the men out there who are sick of this treatment, or perhaps just for a giggle. Whenever you see that stupid female on your bumper bar, fumbling for her phone, too busy in the mirror doing her make up, or just plain checking herself out. Jump on the anchors as hard as you can! You are well within your rights to stop suddenly at any given time on the road, and for whatever reason you desire.

The onus is on the trailing driver to allow enough room to successfully brake without crashing up your backside. Most of these women wouldn’t even notice you’ve braked until their bonnet is folding in front of their eyes.

Let’s teach these stupid women a lesson and get on the brakes!
Maybe that’ll teach them to pay attention and have two hands on the wheel at all times instead of trying to insult us with their “Pinky Wiggles”

They’ll probably get out of their crippled cars, giving the “Pinky Wiggle” excitedly and laughing hysterically while on the phone to the cops thinking they’ll side with the “saintly” female driver. But the jokes on them! If they actually knew some road rules they’d know it’s a Neg driving charge for slamming up the back of someone. Sorry love, that’s 3 demerit points, $300 dollars, your insurance premiums are double next year, and thanks giving me a nice shiny new car.

It’s an ad targeting dangerous and irresponsible driving. If the limit’s 60 and you go around a corner at 59kmph out of showmanship then you are putting yourselves and others in unnecessary danger, whether you are under or over the speed limit. Dangerous driving is never impressive, no matter what kind of car you drive and who you are driving it past.

The point of these ads is not to 100% eradicate speeding and dangerous driving once and for all from our society. As other people in this forum have already said, people will always do silly things when they are young. The point is to send a message that this kind of driving is overwhelmingly unwelcome in our society, no matter who you are trying to impress, and thereby hopefully keep the numbers of people who carry out this sort of driving to as low a number as realistically possible.

Quote: “that was the stupidest ad ive ever seen you are going to make me do more burnouts just to see if any tool waves their pinky at me”

Why? Why don’t you use common sense and say to yourself… “Wait driving dangerously is stupid. I don’t need to go prove anything by driving dangerously. The RTA is WRONG. Not all of us are influenced so easily, we don’t need to do burnouts and risk lives just to see if anyone will do a pinky. I drive safely therefore this ad does not apply to me.”

Anyone who doesn’t drive safely, this ad does apply to you. Especially you Mitch.

It’s not so much the result I’m interested in. It’s how the driver would handle the situation.

When I did my motorcycle rider training all those years ago, we learnt to emergency brake, we learnt to lock up just so we could figure out how to release and squeeze again. Effectively we learnt to be the ABS and Traction Control for our vehicles of choice.

This all comes down to the driver license test which I have mentioned about before many months ago. You go around a corner. You stop. You park. Hill start. Drive back to the RTA.

I reckon the money spent on installing and maintaining speed cameras can be used for building dedicated car driving courses where there is grease, sand, pedestrians that pop out of bushes. Faulty traffic lights, bad drivers (the instructors can have fun with that one). Road rage. etc etc.

Get the user off-road. Teach them to control the car if it loses traction. Whether it’s caused from faulty ABS, braking too hard, misjudging a corner and freaking out. Whatever.

Much like a motorcycle license, I think this should be made compulsory.

By my rule, if you have to drive 50 hours on your L’s before you can go for your P’s. If you take the average driver training with a learner driving trainer (ABC driving school, etc) and pay $60 an hour. You’re looking a fair amount of money to get your license. Why not use that money to do a weekend course on really “driving” a car.

I’m not referring to teaching how to do power slides, burnouts, etc. I’m talking about pushing the car around a corner, and learning to deal with it if it loses traction.

How to brake without ABS.

Something to think about when you pay all that money for driver training. Even if you don’t. I don’t think anyone here would say no to a weekend of getting a car out of control, just to learn how to get it back into control.

I know at the time when I did my rider training I was thinking “what a drag”. But when we eventually started off, I was like “this is cool” and later on saw how valuable it was to have learnt the skills they taught us.

Nevertheless, as a paramedic the majority of cases I deal with involving injury or death resulting from hooning, a male is at fault. A teenager, no. Twenty and up, yes.

Watching these guys ball their eyes out and piss their pants is not a pretty sight, nor is working on a driver as his friend lies half inside the car and half on the road. It’s not selfish for me to say I’d prefer the driver be in that position, and his mate en route to hospital, it’s human.

They don’t understand how easy it is for their vehicle to crumble into the smallest shell of metal. They don’t understand how within a split second that can happen to them. They don’t understand that they have no right to put other peoples lives at risk, for their own enjoyment.

There are some fucking stupid people on the road here in QLD and it’s unfortunate that some of us have to clean up their mess.

One does a burnout, the other fails to stop at a pedestrian crossing and the third gets his car sideways, none of this is caused by or relates to speeding, does it?!
