Moving back to West End not so great. - Brisbane Forum

Oh it is great moving back to West End, NOT!!!!!!

1) Where drivers think the red light means to speed up and drive straight through especially Boundary/Vulture, where drivers thinks the footpath is a driveway and parking area, where drivers doesn't know what lights are or what a blinker is, where drivers doesn't use common sense in knowing you have to give way to pedestrians especially at the crossing on Boundary near Russell and coming from or going into driveways etc

2) Where cyclists thinks it ok to ride against the red and ride on the crossing like at Boundary/Vulture, where cyclists do not know what a warning device, helmet and hand signals are, where cyclists don't know how to give way to others etc

3) Where groups with two of more or people lack common sense and good manners and block the footpath either talking to others or walking down the footpath sometimes very slowly especially at night and on the weekend and want you to move aside for them even onto the road, like the two couples walking Boundary St towards West End on Saturday 15/2 in which one of the females gave me a look to say I should move for them.

And even people walking by themselves who want you to move aside for them or talking or texting while walking, even common sense would tell them it is easier and safer to step aside to use the mobile.

4) Why do bus passengers think it is ok to block the front of the bus or the side door even those there are space and spare seats still in the bus? Like on the 196 from Fairfield Gardens on Saturday.

I can totally relate to the scenarios you have described though I am not living within the vicinity. I think it is not about the location but it is just the people in general. Some are more educated than others while the rest are just ill-mannered (it just runs in their blood). Thus, you get inconsiderate clowns who think they own the world. If you just moved in, try to give in to them as you don't know what they are capable of yet. In due time, when you can't beat them, JOIN THEM!
