Guy comes into work last week all smart in his brand new Land Rover that looks like it cost about $80k. Less of a wagon than the Magna and he drives away talking with a mobile to his ear. Now I would put money on that car having Bluetooth connectivity. What is it are they too lazy or too dumb to work it? Or do they just have the attitude that rules are made to be broken? I want to keep my money to spend it on what I want to buy, not to pay fines I don't need to.
my work takes me around the nth shore 7-4pm m-f. Should see the attitudes from the other half on the roads. Rich sense of entitlement. No indicators, no courtesy, speeding, ignore school zones, mobile phones, double parking to have a chat, illegal parking. I see more bad displays of driving there than anywhere else I can think of.Maybe it is really stressful having loads of $$.

The stress is in having loads of debt, trying to keep up with the neighbours, private school fees etc. And if you say anything to them its instant aggression.
