Feet out the window - including driver - today

[phillyc]

Yep, that is what i saw today on the trip home from Canberra to Newcastle.

A young bloke and 2 young girls, all aged early 20s travelling along the Hume Hwy south of Sydney just after Pheasants Nest in a bronze VT-VX Commodore with Qld rego ...-GAG (and i'm pretty sure i know the 3 numbers too) start to tailgate my wife not long after rejoining (5 mins?) after we had stopped for our/kids break.

So my wife changed lanes after finishing the overtake of the adjacent car and let the tailgaters past.

What i noticed first off, was that the front passenger had both her feet out and the rear left passenger had one foot out. I looked on in disbelief. They thought they were pretty damn cool. The girl thinking i was looking at them for being cool gave me the thumbs up. I shook my head. Then i noticed the DRIVER had his FEET out of the car and his seat was in the almost fully retracted / submarining position. He gave me the 'Hang Ten' sign. At which time i pointed at them and then pretended to pull a trigger to my head.

I copped some verbal (which i couldn't hear) and a middle finger for this. I tried to take a picture on my phone, but it didn't seem to work and they got away too quickly from us before tailgating other cars still with the drivers and passengers feet out the window.

Considering this is 1000 km from the Queensland border, is it any wonder that Commodore drivers are over represented in the road toll with such small immature minds.
