If youre in a really big crash you're screwed

But if you hit someone and its a minimal accident you can just pay them so they dont call the cops
or if the cops come and stop you, you can give them some money too and youre free to go

Driving is pretty easy, driving drunk is kinda hard but it can be done

Drunk driving is terrible. Please don't do it or encourage it.

A friend of mine died last year because he was hit by a drunken truck driver.

Emma, actually my car is manual but I HATE and refuse to drive it, because this city is full of traffic so driving manual becomes a pain in the butt

Why don't you just cruise along in first gear? Even if you're gonna be waiting a while, shifting to neutral doesn't take that much effort.

those are supposed to be 2 seperate points. Learning to drive with a manual car can be annoying. Takes time to learn.

And traffic is always annoying.

First gear is only to 20kmh, and the car is too hard and the engine will be always be making that sound to shift to second. Its like driving an automatic car in Low

I hate having to fully stop, switch to first, press the clutch, press the gas, press the clutch, switch to second, only to find out that now I have to fully stop again so I gotta hit the brake, press the clutch, press the brake, etc etc etc etc etc

But if you're in heavy traffic as you said, isn't 20kph fast enough?

Back on topic though, I'm a bit broke at the moment, but I'm thinking of getting tickets to Australia vs Turkey. Not sure if it'll be worth it though

I'd like to if I had the bling, but the Australian national team is rubbish, unless they bring in the European-based players for World Cup qualifiers and the like

Public transport costs money too and it's annoying to wait for trains and buses that are always late here :irritate:

I wish I could go everywhere walking, but here that cant be done. Its too dangerous

I have two answers to this:

1. Yeah, if the traffic is too heavy then you're always stuck in first gear, but you still gotta press the clutch, release the brake, start pressing gas while releasing the clutch, advance like 10m and then press the brake and the clutch. And tell me if the traffic is going up! worse

2. You could be stuck in one of those traffics that when you advance you have enough space to change to second, but right after you change you gotta stop again

I don't understand why they play most important footy matches in Melbourne, including the World Cup qualifiers. We've got a perfectly good stadium from the 2000 Olympics, but they use the stupid Melbourne Cricket Ground :irritate: I would've gone to a lot of Australia's matches had they been in Sydney

In what way? Kidnappers or dangerous drivers?

Bah, it takes like two seconds you lazy bum!
