Looks good in pictures....but.... can someone answer this?
In Melbourne - why does everyone desperately try to drive in the lane next to the entry ramps and not let anyone merge onto the freeways?

Why dont they just move over and leave the lane for other vehicles to merge like they do in America?
Try getting onto the M1/West Gate freeway from Kings Way even during off peak hours.

Denial about anything that anyone points out thats not-so-good about Australia.
Well, thats not all that I ever really say, the above post was an honest and unbiased observation.

No I know not everything is great about Australia (not everything is great about anywhere) but compared to other places I've been it stacks up pretty well which seems to be the opinion of a lot of people. But lanes on a freeway. Give me a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've driven on American freeways. I would get sick of someone constantly bagging America or the UK too. Like i said it just gets a bit of snore fest after a while. But hey know yourself if it makes ya happy.
