P Platers!

[NoBoozHere]

Red (NSW) P Plater's....geez. Not only did the little clown miss by
centimeters he then stopped right against the curb, at the next red light,
so I couldn't get pass. Now, if I unclipped and dragged the little turd from
his car and gave him a quick bitch slap (in front of the young lady in the
passenger seat whom I'm sure he was trying to impress) I'd be the criminal.
It's a crazy world.

Is it worth reporting incidents such as this to the police or do I just need
to become a little more thick skinned? I vaguely remember a website where
you could post the rego number of such vehicles too. Is that still around?

Passing too close is bad. Stopping by the curb is his right, you can't
complain.

A regularly used quote, seldom proved incorrect.

Although it's now closed, possibly awaiting new owners:
