The standard of driving has deteriorated to hell in that time. Now we see those Asian rejects in their wannabe tricked up rice burners with the fat exhause pipe to give everyone the idea that they have reached the top of the wanker tree with a turbo'd 4 cylinder matchbox toy. By far the worst offenders. Running a close second are young females, who somehow grow balls when they get behind the wheel of a car, and drive 'way too fast. Next time you are cruising along and a little "hairdresser" car passes you, chances are that the driver will be female, under 25, and possibly applying lipstick or combing their hair while thay are at it.
Yes, I have been booked for speeding, twice in a driving period of 50 years. I have also been T Boned by an unlicensed driver in an unregistered car, and I was booked for driving without "due care and attention".................... Work that one out!
Like others in the NT, you adapt to the driving mindset of the day, and steer clear of dickheads!
BTW. I had another success with my "Hoon Camera" during the week. I hear that the Traffic boys have seized the car. Scratch another rice burner from the road!
And, the coppers have also defected a look alike NYPD cruiser (a liveried up Commodore with all the bells and whistles.)

,Consider this, the drivers you are talking about are probably ex-pat mexicans who brought their cr.p driving skills with them, right along with their arrogance and ignorance. 
Just because the car has Territory plate on it doesn't mean the driver is a territorian. Give the number of blow-ins here now, you'd be hard pressed to find a 'local, but when you do, you'll know...It'll be the bloke/woman who didn't try run you over. 
We're used to having to pull up suddenly for pedestrians.. Especially on 'cheque' day 
..Something that most mexicans can't get their heads around. 
Go fishin' Cam, relax, and enjoy life 
..You only get one crack at it, why waste on second on being cranky.
