Chapter 8: CITY DRIVING HAZARDS

One look at a wall like this proves the incompetence of many drivers.

The most obvious hazard faced when driving in the city is the amount of traffic. With so many other drivers and pedestrians the chances of the unexpected happening are very high.I remember having my driver's licence for about a week, when I made my first trip into Brisbane City. I scared myself because I was definitely not prepared for all the traffic around me. Information overload occurred. Ever wondered how many vehicles accompany you on your way to and from work?
