I go to Sydney once or twice a year, and the traffic on the major roads
(not
freeways or motorways) which are 4 or 6 laners is bloody terrible if
you're
looking for a place you haven't been to before. Everyone else are doing
their daily drive and hence speed up as they can go auto-pilot, but for
the
unfamiliar driver slowing down to catch a place to turn or change lanes to
get into the right one,..at your own risk! You get blasted by horns,
fla****ng high-beam, cars accelerating around you etc etc. And this is
after
studying the road map. Maybe time to get a navigator set-up.
