- When you indicate, the driver nearest to you will pause for a moment so you can duck in. Every time. This never happens in Hobart. There, you have to indicate for half an hour before you want to change lanes, and even then, the other driver will only let you in if they've had their morning coffee and didn't fight with their wife.
- When you want to get rid of something and it seems just a little too special to chuck in the bin, you put it on the nature strip. Everyone does this. Someone else will come along and take it. Or it will just sit there. This never happens in Hobart or Melbourne or Canberra. People would mind.

I've been back in Tassie for a couple of years and 1 still annoys me about Launceston and Hobart drivers.
Love covers over a multitude of Sydney driving sins. Not so here.
Big city = kinder drivers? That is Opposite World!
We have fundraisers (shriners, cops, firemen's foundations, etc) who raise money at traffic lights. They put out cones and walk out amongst the cars with buckets when the light is red -- even at massive 8-lane intersections. Our new elder is from California and thinks he's been transported to an alternate dimension.
