[QUOTE="SEN5241, post: 532492, member: 19648"] Stuck in traffic for almost an hour this morning. Two observations: 1) any large vehicle where the engine is underneath the driver (bus/petrol tanker, etc) will insist on stopping less than a foot away from your rear bumper. Doesn't matter whether the road slopes downhill and all it would take is the slightest lessening of pressure on the brakes to roll forward and hit you, it's apparently mandatory practice to do so. I had the pleasure of having a BHP tanker driver practice his skill with me this morning. 2) when the traffic light turns red, drivers who have been waiting in queue for a long time will ignore the red light and continue driving forward. Drivers on other lanes with green lights have to either inch forward to send a message that their lane is green or continue sitting still even at a green light. [/QUOTE]
