yeah i er.. knew that !

it's normally old people, or chav's that stop at roundabouts. Chav's do it so that the next 3 counties get to hear their 46" exhaust pipe when they pull off slower than a slug in a salt pile and old people do it because they can't remember where they were going

I'd put money on, the same people that do stop at Islands / Junctions when they don't need to, don't stop at a Stop Sign when they must do.

Too true my friend, i do this often (think it's something in the water round my way) everyone seems to have so much time to stop and smell flowers at junctions.

This one car this morning got me going, and in the process of having a little moan to myself, dropped my cig which promtly burnt through my trousers

Nope, I did as well. I was assuming it was a traffic light GP thread.

Are they the same people that drive at 40 in a NSL, then when they get to a 30, they carry on regardless, at 40.

I hate them people so much!



Today I was overtaken by an old man in a Merc!! The fact I was on a residential street doing 30 didn't phase him. He got the horn and finger on the way past.

That boils my piss the most. I was following some old duffer the other day down a road which was NSL doing 38, the road then goes into a village with a primary school, so 30mph limit and the daft bastard carried on at 38. But i'm the boy racer twat because i would have overtaken if i could when it was 60

All the time, especially at roundabouts where you can quite clearly see there's nothing coming people still stop and have a good old look, why?!?!

Alternatives may include;

Any time today, prick
Out of my way old bloke
Out of my way chav
Fucking get on with it you mug
Oh for fucks sake!

And so on and so fourth.

It annoys me more when you're in a queue at a set of traffic lights and they go green and people in the queue take ages to set off - it's even worse (for some reason) when they're temporary traffic lights.

Technically as they go green everyone in the whole queue could set off at the same time, but that never happens.

Hell yeah!!!

lights go green... car infront doesnt notice for ages, then its handbrake off... into gear... pull away dead slowly (occasionally stalling) then through the lights, 1 or 2 cars later the lights are back on red again!

The correct term is a 'traffic circulatory'

It is however widely accepted that a roundabout is a small version of the above and an 'island' is a large version, like at a motorway junction etc

they stop at roundabouts by us, pull away when its clear then as you pull away they stop and hope you hit them up the ass. theyre nearly always private hire cars people carriers with about 100 people in it or rentals. on one dual carriageway by us with a roundabout either end there has been 107 rear end incidents in six months. things are so bad all our artics are fitted with recording cameras. there latest method is to overtake you in a 40 dual carriageway, then they, theres 2 cars both pull in front of you, the nearest car stops dead and the other car f***s off ,you hit him up the ass and he says the other bloke cut me up! wankers

fucking hell this is what i always tell people thought it was just me that thought that.

i always try and explain it to girls when they tell me to calm down coz some pricks love waiting at traffic lights i tell them to think of an F1 start when the lights go out, everyone floors it

why do these people take so long tho? round my area traffic lights stay red for about 3 minutes and go green for about 6 seconds, everyone knows this and yet they have the car in neutral with the handbrake up, let the lights go green for 5 seconds and then they decide to do something about it

and breathe..............
