Default What is going on lately

Anyone else find people are getting crazier and more raged on the roads and taking far more chances

Over the last week I have seen dozens of people just keep going over red lights, tonight i watched a jag race a red light (mine had just tunred green going the oppo way, it was folled by a taxi people in the cab looked horrified

Guy today sitting at the light not paying attention, lights turn green and still rabbitin away to the misses, gives him a friendly beep and a thumbs up, he looks like he want to kill me

It ain't often I think this, but I say get fekin camera's on ALL traffic lights and get more cops on the roll, i'm legal and so have no fear

Yeah i find the majority of road users are angry fckers, like the other week weekend when the floods were out, there this island and all 3 exits were blocked as there was cars half way round waiting to move etc, so of course im sat waiting to join the island to go round it and some arse hole behind mounts the kerb in his sharan sized vehicle and comes along side me basically saying why dont i move into the island, well because i fcking cant im waiting for someone to let me in wanker

yes, just this morning i was going up the m4 when some cunt in a clio was doing about 75 int he outside lane, and a astra van was doing about the same in the middle lane...

and there was no cunt in the inside lane for a good quarter mile...

so i duly undertook the pair of cunts only for the twat in the astra to then flash his lights and floor it after me and sit 1" off my rear bumper

if the cunt had dont that int he first place all would have been ok as the clio driver would have pulled in and i could have got past.

anyhow, the astra driver followed me up my ass so i moved over and let him pass... but then the 2 lanes went into 1 i nailed it past the cunt mid finger in the air and got about 6 cars infront lol

i tell you, theres some propper cunts on the road

Used to be you never tangled with a sales rep as they are the most stressed, but no it seems granddad and his micra are trouble

Personally I think it is down to how mean you look, the meaner you look the quicker the fookin metalist seems to accpet the appology or drop their aggression

My sisters fella is a harsh bloke, he gets very little bother, infact, very often my sister will tell me about peeps giving her shit for nothing on the road until he gets out of the car, then they seem to sink into their seat and express the lack of need for violence

Yep I find the same with red lights, maybe that's why I have been rear ended at lights 4 times in 9 years!!
I reported a truck(two axle) for going around my LEFT and that of the car in front and the car in front as we were all coorectly waiting to turn right, and he just carved his way across could not see what was coming as oncoming traffic blocking view.
I had did report him, and was usbstantiated by the two other witnesses who's reg's I took down on my notepad.
Prior to this the prick was blaring his horn at me as I would not go over the crossing(which was clear), because the lights were still red and had not started to flash orange.
Best bit was the "HOWS MY DRIVING" sticker on the truck, guess the POLICE will answer that one!!!
