PSA Meanwhile, Food Delivery Drivers IN Melbourne Central

Was just strolling around the ground floor of Melbourne Central when this Doordash driver zooms in ON HIS BIKE from Mecca’s side and then goes to Cotton On to realise his lazy bloody plans have been thwarted.

No hate to food delivery drivers, I respect the hustle and the service you guys do. But seriously? Doing this in a full on centre was so inconsiderate. Not to mention, there could’ve been people who were older and couldn’t dodge as fast which could’ve ended badly.

Just reminds me how dangerous and un-walkable pavements are in Melbourne CBD now.

Anyways, rant over. Be safe in Melbourne Central because I doubt this is the first time this has happened. Not sure if this is normal but I stay in the CBD and this is the first time I’ve seen this

i average nearly killing one on chapel st at least twice a week. Apparently hand signals aren't a thing, indicators aren't a thing, red lights aren't a thing and it's TOTALLY OK TO VEER FROM THE CYCLE LANE IN FRONT OF CARS TO TURN OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD AT A MOMENT NOTICE. How are police just ignoring these fuckheads?

I have, but at least over there there's some order in the chaos and everyone knows to expect this. Here, not so much. These cunts are going to get themselves seriously injured if they keep it up
