Bankstown's Road Rage: More Incidents Than a Demolition Derby

.

"So, Bankstown has officially earned itself a reputation that’s more demolition derby than serene Sydney suburb. If you think you're a skilled driver, try navigating this street battle zone where people are more likely to swap fenders than niceties. And don’t even get me started on the road rage—it’s the type of spectacle that could make any demolition derby look like a children’s birthday party.

Let's start with the headliner: The 71-year-old gentleman who apparently mistook the area near a school for his personal audition for ""Aussie Road Rage: The Series."" Picture this: he’s parked up, acting as though he’s starring in a road rage reality show, only for the locals to decide his car deserved some impromptu artwork—aka, graffiti.

It’s not every day you see a senior citizen causing a ruckus, but here we are. The police? Yeah, they showed up, too, and now he’s got a date with the court. (Because when in doubt, just make sure to get arrested, right?) Then there’s the ute that decided to throw itself into the spotlight by swerving into oncoming traffic on Macauley Avenue, cutting off two cars like it was starring in a Fast & Furious reboot.

But the plot thickened—this wasn’t just about driving like a maniac. The driver stopped, got out, and allegedly punched another bloke in the face. He fled, leaving behind a scene that would make even action movie directors cringe. And you’d think that would be the craziest thing on Bankstown’s roads, right?

Nope. Enter the latest roadside brawl: a driver managed to escalate a minor driving dispute into a full-blown assault. Someone’s probably thinking, ""Maybe hitting the gym isn't enough—perhaps a few anger management classes?"" The reality here is that Bankstown is slowly turning into the place where road rage goes to retire, leaving behind a trail of chaos.

And yet, despite all this madness, no one’s questioning why people feel like road rage is their daily workout routine. Could it be the weather? Stress? Or just a lack of chill on the roads? Whatever the reason, Bankstown’s drivers have left us all wondering—are we in the middle of an action flick or just living in a real-life car chase?"
