Toyota is the new Volvo


When you are on the road as much as I am you get plenty of time to observe the behaviour of other drivers. Over the last few months I have developed an opinion of the drivers of certain vehicles - their owners generally fit a stereotype when it comes to the way they behave.

For example: If you see a late model 4wd coming up behind you then you learn to not change lanes because they are going to change lanes without indicating and go flying past you at at least 10 kms above the speed limit.

By far the worst drivers on the road though are the people who drive Toyota Avalons or Camry Altises. These people generally have no f$%king idea what they are doing but will do it anyway without any regard for any of the other drivers on the road. I have seen one Avalon driver manage to hold up traffic for three changes of lights for absolutely no reason. Trying to change lanes but the car next to you wont let you in and beeps and abuses you when you do manage to force your way in - bingo - it was a Camry Altise.

I'm not sure how it works, but for some reason the only people who buy these cars are rude arrogant wankers. Probably explains why they are now the car of choice for the Queensland Police Service

Insider Cheese Tip

Sometimes you get to find out where the good stuff is.

The weekend was a good time to be driving a taxi - Nice and busy everywhere.

Fare of the weekend goes to the guys I picked up from the cricket with multiple drop-offs. They were going all over the shop so it worked out to be about a $60 fare which still left me nice and close to where the work was.

The real win though came from the final drop which was just around the corner from my house. The last guy pointed out the house just near his that sells home made haloumi from their shed. Went and saw them yesterday and the haloumi is cheap and sooooo much better than the shit they sell at the supermarket.

Super glad that old mate pointed these guys out to me
