颜面无光，WA 驾驶人是全世界最不会并线和使用环岛的。

西澳人报纸报导，西澳的驾驶人有著全澳洲最高的并线和环岛事故率。

Perth drivers are so bad at merging and so confused about how to drive through a roundabout that the Office of Road Safety has posted "how to" videos online.

For the first time, the videos - made with WA Police - have been put on YouTube and will soon be included on the office's website.

The 69-second merging video explains that a merging vehicle should give way to the car in front, regardless of whether they are in the right or left-hand lane.

The 95-second roundabout video shows when to indicate and where to position the vehicle when turning left, right or going straight ahead at a roundabout.

A spokeswoman for the office said the issue of merging and roundabouts had prompted a lot of inquiries to the office and to police.



The videos were seen as an appropriate way to inform WA drivers about the correct approach to both issues and were released with relevant fact sheets.

Motor Trades Association of WA chief executive Stephen Moir has labelled WA motorists the worst in the world at merging.

He said they were "too selfish and territorial to merge effectively".

In an Australia-wide survey of motorists late last year for the National Transport Forum - a statutory transport think tank - WA was the only State where motorists identified confusion over the road rules for merging.



Only 44 per cent of respondents said Perth motorists merged well, compared with 59 per cent in Victoria and 58 per cent in NSW.

It came after the SGIO said merging collisions resulted in more than $1 million in insurance claims in 2010.

The highest number of merging collisions were on the Mitchell Freeway (63), the Kwinana Freeway (54), Albany Highway (42), Canning Highway (39), Graham Farmer Freeway (27) and Tonkin Highway (19).

And a survey of RAC members found 70 per cent of respondents identified merging as the driving task that WA motorists were worst at, ahead of keeping a safe distance between vehicles (64 per cent) and using a roundabout (49 per cent).

"One of the reasons our freeways don't flow as well as they should is because we don't know how to merge," RAC head of member advocacy Matt Brown said at the time. "How do we get something so simple so wrong?"

WA 警方为了教育驾驶人，制作了教育视频公布在YOUTUBE上面。希望能藉此降低肇事率。

那是因为可怜的澳村人民没去过伟大的天朝，要是让他们见识下光辉共产主义指导下的城市交通，10个人要吓死9个，还有个是瞎子。

显然写这篇报导的记者很少出国，没到过开发中国家以及第三世界，见识太少----

说明西澳人员是多么淳朴。。。

我倒是觉得语不惊人死不休的小编全世界都有。

相比并线速度和环岛进入时间，我个人感觉WA还是一贯风格。。。慢半拍。这个悉尼或猫本过来的童鞋应该都有感触吧？

中国城里的汽车虽然多但是速度慢，我觉得在中国开车很顺手。
澳洲虽然路上车不那么多，但是速度很快，还经常有超速的车，比中国开车难度更大。

貌似澳洲人开车都好快啊。。。喜欢路上空空的，大家都开的慢慢的，竖着开，撞不到，横着开，撞不到
最好是半睡半醒开也撞不到，就可以打个盹先

10个要吓死20多个--他们回去还学舌呢(郭体)

也听local这么说，perth的人不知道merge..不知道是他自己的感受呢，还是看了这个报道。。在国内没开车，觉得这里大家都很守规矩呀。。。
还是我的错觉？

PERTH 人民不知道其他國家的人是如何開車滴---------

說實話，PERTH 開車出門看見事故的機率，大概僅有台灣的1/10。

LOCAL 的膽子太小了，所以還沒學會見縫插針的駕駛技巧，這也是另外一種諷刺。

Local担子小一点没觉得. 开飞车的, 冲红灯的, 全是鬼佬. 车技还老烂.

录像里说出去时候可以打左灯，不过我一般是不打的。

我们去西澳时，也对西澳某些人民的野蛮驾驶印象深刻

刚回国开了几天车，某些情况基本如此!
