You think that's bad! I had a bunch of people who appeared to be of
middle-eastern appearance speed past me in the *breakdown lane* on the
Princes Highway a few km into the 100 km zone heading south out of
Heathcote
(Sydney) doing about 140 (I was doing just under 100 in the normal
left-hand
lane) driving some Mercedes sedan which was pumping out allah-allah music
at
high volume. I was hoping they'd lose it and crash - sigh. 8-)
There weren't any cop cars chasing them so I presume they were just being
idiots for the sake of it. Perhaps they had some harem girls in the car
they
were trying to impress...

That's very common! People who think you should be out of their way come
up
your rear and tailgate when you're overtaking a slower vehicle. It's
indirect intimidation which would count as 'road rage' I suppose.
