It's a LEFT HAND drive car , it is useless as tits on a bull for driving on
Australian roads , not to mention the import tax that people would have to
pay to import it into Australia.

Hint : wa.ads.forsale is a West Australian Ng

Plenty of left hand drive classic cars on the roads here with "caution:
left hand drive" decals on them.

Yep they changed the laws - used to be you had 12 months to do the
conversion but now you can drive here permanantly.
I've always wanted a left hand drive car - great for giving asshole cyclists
a wedgie as I go past.

It's spelled arsehole here, Paul. I'm sure you've heard it pronounced
enough times to recognise the difference ;-)

Try cycling yourself, maybe you lose a little weight along the way :-)

If I did decide to cycle I would at least obey the f*ckin road rules which
is more than can be said for most two wheel assholes - and yes I know that's
the US spelling, dilligaf.

Nah that would be a waste of drink.
I just try and see how close to their elbow I can get the door mirror - I
think my best effort so far is about 40mm.

Nope, I just don't like cyclists, they scream and bitch about equal rights
on the road while paying nothing (the fact that they might have car is
meaningless, when they're on a bike they are not paying anything) and
disregarding the road rules.

How often do you see a line of traffic struggle to get past a cyclist and
come the next red light the cyclist rides up the gutter to the front and the
cars have to pass him all over again.

The goverment has spent shit loads of cash on cycle paths and the cyclists
should stick to them.

What? When I ride a bike I can't drive the car at the same time, can I?
You have a strange logic.

and

Some do. But almost ALL car drivers disregard the road rules.
I only need to drive at the speed limit and I am being overtaken as if no limit
exists and I feel like the odd one out. Using the phone while driving, not
indicating when turning or in roundabouts, overtaking when it's not safe, you
name it, I see it everywhere.

And why not? Have you ever stepped out of your car and stood behind it with the
engine running? Do you know how that stinks? I'd rather be in front. I hate
breathing in your toxic exhaust shit. And it's not the cyclist's fault that the
road is too narrow.

I don't condone Lycra clad groups of club or competitive riders going 2 or more
abreast though.

They are wiser than you. Yes, there are some, but not enough.

What I see is that the few roads that have a marked cycle lane are suddenly
continuing without that lane and leave the cyclists to fend for themselves. In
fact, they create artificial obstacles and islands that narrow the road so that
there is no space left to safely overtake a cyclist. Many streets are designed
to slow speeding cars down but there is no consideration for cyclists.

Cycle paths are being used where it is practical.
If you are talking about dual use paths, they may be ok for some kids or Sunday
afternoon joy riders. If you want to commute and get from A to B in a reasonable
time you can't stop every 50 meters at a t-junction or intersection where
turning motorists will just IGNORE you. Or someone pulls out of a drive way and
runs you over.

Anyone who deliberately endangers the life of another person because he is
annoyed(!) is a fucking idiot! What do you think can happen if you make contact
and the rider falls, and gets run over by the truck behind you? Or do you just
like to hear the cracking noise of a rib cage or a skull or other bones being
crushed?

You are not 14 any more, grow up...
