Once while on vacation the wife and I were driving from Sydney to Melbourne I was about as far left in my lane as possible without driving on the narrow strip next to the guard railing when I noticed this brown actually sharing the same lane with me just behind my window. We drove along like this for must have been a kilometer or more I had no idea what his problem was then suddenly he shot past nearly clipping my side mirror after a while I noticed he had someone pulled over. I figured he had been trying to use my vehicle as a shield against either a cross wind or to hide from a right lane driver waiting to see if they were overtaking someone or driving out in the rt lane.
I don't trust badges in any country to have expert driving skills especially those riding motors or driving in SUV's or sedans and plain wrapped high performance cars but at the same time I try not to need to test their driving skills when ever possible. To me most are just trying to do their jobs but I have no use for the ones who are nothing but revenue traps.
