P PLates (1 Viewer)

I think everyone should have some kind of plate identifying thier race, height, weight and age... The police could pretend this was to allow cop cars to identify people right away in the case of a crime or accident and people could use it to single out people they really dont like. :uhhuh:

I'm posting up a pic of the Cumberland/John intersection. It is such a hazard at times and one of THE most annoying I've ever encountered. It doesn't help that it's the one I use most often.

TOP RIGHT: SHELL PETROL STATION
BLUE: POSSIBLE DIRECTIONS TAKEN BY TRAFFIC
RED: ME IN ONE OF MY MORE ENLIGHTENED MOMENTS

Basically on the bottom left lane there is the left one ( forward and left ) and right one ( forward and right ). The right turn is stuck there until the traffic from the opposite direction is gone or stops so if it's packed one ONE or TWO cars can move meaning everyone behind it is stuck behind these cars. So people queue up on the left lane. Left lane can be stuck when there are pedestrians and the left lane car wants to turn left but can't because the signal says no ( be the more smarter considerate people ignore this and go anyways ). Still the left lane but near the top is the Shell Petrol Station which some people turn into. Now in such packed situations every is eager to go so they stay on the left lane or turn into the right which they have to anyways cause 30 metres up the lane forms on bigger road of a residential area. The problem arise when all these lanes are clogged up meaning you can wait up to 2+ traffic lights till you can move. The sudden stops can cause accidents. Since we are on John and Cumberland is a busy highway the wait can be long and tedious. So while everyone is stuck and the opposite traffic was still moving but not into the lane closest to me I took the red path. Fortunately the only issue with that is cars from my left blind spot but since they were moving so FUCKING slowly and not letting people behind them move out faster I was able to successfully navigate my way through.

Today I found a perfect example of why there should be M plates. I went to the top of my street and stopped waiting to turn right onto this other street. A car was coming, and because I am mostly a patient driver I waited when I would of been able to go if I hurried.

So this old guy drivers past and I pull out behind him. And we are driving along and he is going 40 and 45 for no reason and slowing down a ridiculous amount for bends and turns. If I could of found a spot to overtake I would have which would mean speeding on the wrong side of the road but he was pissing me off so bad.

Now if this car had M plates on it, and I saw these M plates I would have pulled out infront of this guy so I wouldn't get stuck behind him. Which would mean

1. I wouldn't be pissed off
2. He wouldn't have someone tailgaiting him
3. It would reduce the change of me trying to overtaken him driving 80 in a 50 zone on the wrong side of the road.
4. It would prevent me from speeding like a moron after he turned off the road because I was so frustrated from sitting behind him for so long

So if you think that M plates aren't a good idea, there are 4 reasons why they are.

also bad because pulling out infront of him may have startled him and ... - edit- people always pull out infront of L platers and it gets annoying

Wouldn't have been pulling out infront of him that much, cause he was going really slow but I couldn't really tell that until it was too late. Any other person and it might of been cutting them off a bit.
