Imagine a road with 2-3 lanes on each side. Then imagine being on the left side (duh) and wanting to make a right turn. THEN imagine trying to make that right turn from the far left lane, so you have to cross two directions of traffic in one go. And finally, imagine trams/taxis just doing whatever the hell they want and going by RIGHT when you try to turn... leaving you blocking a lane of traffic, which pisses off everyone else trying to go straight.
I don't usually drive in Melbourne, and I've never had to make a hook turn (I try to avoid them), but I've been in cars in peak hour when a they try to do a hook turn, it's fucking chaos. I feared for my life hehe.
