Rather interesting article about grey nomads giving the locals the ****s with entitled behavior, it doesn't surprise me given their lack of courtesy to other drivers on the roads.
Have you had run ins with grey nomads before?

They don't even have to be grey. Last one I came across driving inconsiderately was a guy in his late 30's towing a caravan the size of my first house. Slow AF in the bends but 100+ on the very few straights on that road.
Luckily for me in the V6 Jeep I flew past in no time on the straight. My mate in his 4 cylinder ute had to stay behind for a few dozen more Kms because he didn't have the power to overtake safely.

Some of the attitudes like SKINS - "Spend Kids Inheritance Now" is reprehensible.

You know how people leave two squares of toilet paper on the roll so they don't have to change it. It's that attitude, but with the whole economy.
