Inevitably when driving out in the wild you'll end up with a Ranger right on your bumper. It's becoming increasingly difficult to know if you've missed a speed sign and are now one of those twats wobbling along at 20-30-40k less than the speed limit, or if you're doing the current speed limit and it's just an arsehole in a Ranger doing what they do.
As an aside, I have also observed that Holden Colorado drivers have a severe aversion to being overtaken. They'll outdrive the handling of their Thai tosswagon crossing the centreline and dropping wheels in the gravel, just to prevent someone in a proper car that actually goes around corners from passing them.
But at least they're not pepper spraying you I guess.....
Followed a ranger driver last week that must have self identified as a Colorado. Remote rural area and he was wrong side of road on blind left side to avoid corrugations and also did the block everybody pass opportunity. When I finally got a safe chance he got to eat some loose chip.
We were deep in log country though and it’s only matter of time before he will be a kenworth badge, you gotta love Darwin.
