(46) Car Cam: Group Think & Arrogant Gardeners

(38) Car Cam: Speed Camera Sign Trickery?

Observation(s):
- Aggressive landscape gardeners
- An exercise in group think

Conditions: Very good, low 20's (Celsuis)

Date/Time: Saturday, 25 Feb 2009

Current Road Toll:

What: Driving Diary (12 month experimental project)

Where: South Australia

Why: To record 12 months of my life driving, and in the process reflect on my own driving behaviour and to possibly highlight how other ppl's behaviours can impact negatively on us. Accidents can be so easily avoided.

Sound: I only keep one CD in the car and change that weekly, so there will be some repetition. GPS also makes a few sounds and audible directions.

This is for educational (not punitive) purposes, it is my belief that citizens shouldn't police other citizens.

Around here all the landscraper boys have air conditioned F-350's. Their windows are up to dull the sound from the massive turbo-Diesiel engine. I would have cut him off and gave him the last laugh.

Just thinking about your comment (which I understand was tongue in cheek actually) - but b/c this was a deliberate action & this is what I journalise the 'behaviours' (not the innocent mistakes) drivers undertake. What would occur if any driver retaliated to these thugs, would only be a further escalation in violence. Perhaps though, like any bully (who pick battles they are sure they can win), if I was a male in a larger car than they, would the behaviours be different?

forgive the few typos above, I type quickly! and don't proof... (maybe I should) :)
