I have heard much criticism that drivers in the Newcastle area are bad drivers.

After experiencing Sydney drivers' continual non-use of indicators, drivers swerving from kerb lane to centre lane, overtaking then swinging back in front of my vehicle, I believe Newcastle drivers have nothing on their Sydney cousins.

The impatience shown by drivers of all vehicles, other than semitrailers, is a feature of Sydney's main roads.

During the trip I only saw one police car.
