Well, I'm bored at work, and this subject is bound to throw up loads of horror stories to read to pass the time.

I'll start:

This morning on my way to work, I was driving through a 30mph zone, minding my own business, bang on 30mph, had set the cruise control so I know it was a constant 30mph, next thing I know, this twat in a skip lorry comes flying up behind me, dangerously tailgating me, so I switch off cruise control and maintain current speed, we approach a primary school, bearing in mind it's 8.15am in the morning so loads of little kids about, he decides he wants to overtake me as soon as there is a gap in the traffic, so he proceeds to overtake me right outside a school, I'd slowed down to probably 28mph and was shadowing the brake pedal, as I usually do outside schools, so it's not as if I was going stupidly slow.

Would've loved the police to witness that. Speeding in a HGV in a 30mph zone, outside a school at 8.15am, utter knob.

Anyone want to share their stories?

 

I was driving in my skip truck this morning, passing a school and this fella' in front of me was going very slowly in a 30... Dangerously slow even. I felt that for my safety I had to do a dangerous manouv... Joke.

Benni.

 

Living near and working in Bath i could type all day. Average Southwest driver is SHOCKING!! Soon as you leave M4, the rage builds. Mongfish, everywhere.

 

Totally 900,000% agree.

 

i live near thame and drivers are mostely ok. as soon as i head towards uni (hatfield), te closer i get the worse the driving and in hatfield they are all utter fucking twats, good go on all year about them!

 

u lot should try driving in Southall

 

I live in a sleepy little village but there is a railway nearby, Network Rail van drivers have to be the worst! Coming home from town the other day and there is an S bend into the village, Went round the right turn and approached the left which is a very tight corner with high walls either side so visibilty is poor. Was soon confronted by a network rail transit that had decided to cut the corner with its drivers side wheels up on the curb my side of the road!!! I skid to a stop and the driver had the cheek to lean out the window and shout "slow down"

 

I go out of my way everyday to get to work just to avoid getting near southall. Nightmare at any time of day :-(

 

lmao i also could type for weeks. Bu heres one was taking the baby to skool following a bus an another car these too divs one in a vxr an one in a old civic type r came flying up the road the civic slowed but the norm in the vxr over took only to be confronted by some kids crosing at the crossing we where all stopping for my heart sank when i sin him pull out to over take. he managed to stop But just some times wish i was a copper as some of the things ive seen are an absolute joke. id understand if it was on a weekend round where all the crusiers are but at 8.30 in the morning by skools come off it

 

Two spring to mind..

Just outside Llanelli, Wales..

An 'A' single carrigeway road. line of moving traffic with me somewhere near the back.
the twat in a shonky old mondeo behind decides he is gonna overtake REGARDLESS,
so out he goes, round the outside of a corner, WITH things coming the other way,
flashing him like fook and getting out of his way... cunt!

similar thing just outside bath, the A420 in Marshfield,
line of traffic, guy in some 5 series decides he is too important to wait,
so off he goes down the middle of the road with people coming the other way!

utter cnuts!

but the one thing that fooks me off, is when there are road works or whatever on a dual carrigeway, most people get in line and wait... but there is always the coonts who just drive right up to the front of the cue and try to push in.. that and motorbike riders being on my side of the road, coming at me just because there is a cue on their side of the road!

 

My fingers would be worn out typing really but generally,old people,dumb blondes texting while driving,people carrier drivers constantly looking at their kids in the back WHILE driving,people who drive via their sat nav and sat nav only ignoring all common sense,taxi/coach/bus drivers,those cunts who drive around in fucking highway maintenance shoguns/land rovers at 50 mph with their fucking flashing lights.

Just select anyone from that group and youll be on your way to dome appalling efforts!

You must hate me then,I always do that in roadworks,the signs are to INFORM you that you need to change lanes in say 800 yds,not mindlessly join the now forming queue 800 yds from the roadworks.

Good example,I was coming from the second Severn crossing to meet Milesy off here to swap some alloys at gordano services bristol on the m5.
My motorway was dead but the m5 was chokka,peeps heading south towards cornwall on hols.

As I'm trying to join the m5,there's hundreds of people just sitting in traffic with their hazards on.I notice that there's a lane marked "s" to the far left which I assume(correctly) to be services .as I try to move across to join it ,the prick in front tries to block me off,acting the hardman,so I pull alongside him and he's mouthing like fuck,put my window down to ask his problem and he mouths that I'm jumping the queue,I tell him I'm off to the services and what the fuck his problem is and he just starts ranting.I carry on doing what I'm doing and people are going mental,thinking I'm trying to jump the queue,when actually I AM taking that exit,who the fuck am I harming?and why would I want to sit in traffic,adding TOO that traffic just because everyone else is too stupid to realise there's a better option?


Rant over!!!

 

chinese bloke the other day in a mini...

He turns right in front of me across my path, then proceeds to drive at 10mph whilst on his phone on the wrong side of the road!!!

Totally unaware that we drive on the left, I try and keep back hoping he would realise what he is doing but nope.

Eventually a guy comes the other way and slams on, clearny not impressed, chinse bloke turns right into a side street, still on his phone, paying no attention to the head on he just nearly had??

Then drives off up the road still on the wrong side of the road.

 

the merge at roadworks does make me laugh, it is just never going to work.

2 lanes into 1 lane, the first 3 or 4 cars get in the 1 lane and begin to que, now you aren't going to drive 2 cars down and try and nudge in, so you get in lane behind them, this goes on and on until you have 40 cars in a single lane tale back.

Nobody wants to let the people in lane 2 into lane one, and anyone who does do it, although doing what they are meant to is seen as the biggest c*nt - I wont let them in either even though I know they aren't really doing anything wrong lol!!

 

It's cunts driving to the point the lane shuts and pushing in that makes the queues worse...

 

I see shite driving every day, and every day I wish I was a copper so I could book 'em!

Only today I was following a woman in a Jeep Cherokee, in excess of 30 in a 30, and she drove straight through a red light at a pedestrian crossing. The people crossing had fortunately been observant enough to notice she hadn't noticed and shouted abuse as she sailed through. I never saw her after that otherwise I'd of reported her!

 

If I'm entirely honest, the worst piece of driving I've ever seen was probably me!

 

bulwell notts-whole area!!

 

Elaborate..............

 

+1. They don't put a mile marker then 800 yards etc... for you to speed up and push in when there's no room left. Ignorant wankers!!

 

Let's just say I've 'inverted' a couple of cars

 

Doing 80/90 down the fast lane to get to a meet i was going to, network rail van comes up behind me doing over 100 (he caught me up out of nowhere) he starts flashing his lights for me to move, and going right up my ass and then backing off, by this point his van had started swaying at the top and you could hear it screaming its guts off, i then move out of the way to let him past as i didnt want to get involved and he has the cheek to start throwing insults at me, before slowing down and holding everyone else up...

 

Fair play!!

*Touch wood*, I've been pretty lucky to date!!

 

anyone in manchester pisses me off,and iraqistakis.

 

Queiung to go left at the roundabout the nob's who change lane shoot up the outside of ya to go round the roundabout and push in.

 

...and got a car stuck on a rock in Cheddar Gorge... and crashed a car after owning it for 2 days... and crashed into a lampost outside my parent's house before i learnt to pass my test...

But I've learnt my lesson now your honour!

 

A tearaway eh!!!

My worst incidents to date are at 17 skidding across a crossroads infront of a bus in a 205, and at 19 overtaking a gritting truck on a blind bend in me hardcore Astra SRi with an oncoming car and subsequently being 3 abreast! I HAVE wised up and ain't done owt as stupid since!! I'm now 31.

And we complain at insurance premiums at times eh!

 

i used to drive the "stress express" 105 greenford to heathrow........... 207 uxbridge to the bush, yep southall is like Beirut but the shops are open 25/8

 

Once waiting at a big round about coming out of a supermarket waiting to turn left first exit. An old woman, no idea where she is, goes around the wrong way cutting up all the traffic and confusing alot of other drivers nearly causing an accident.

I still don't think she knows she did something wrong.

 

probly mine as i always go the end lane closure things an push in ,most people dont mess with a van ,

 

I piss a few people off at roundabouts on the way to uni. Usually they all que in the left lane to turn right so i go in right lane to turn right. I then turn right through 270 degrees successfully avoiding the whole que Bit of a cunts trick but not breaking any rules or cutting anyone up.

People in southall just dont seem to understand the concept of driving rules! My brother lived there for a couple of years and it was a nightmare driving to his. People just seem to drive ANYWHERE they want regardless of the rules of the road!!

 

that dont work with me though. I steadfastly refuse to let people in who drive like cunts. they will have to hit my car to get in. Usually posh twats who think driving a merc or BMW means they can pull out when they want rather than wait 3 seconds for me to pass on a clear road. they dont seem to realise that i dont give a shit and WILL ram them off the road and laugh as they buy me a new bumper. They will always loose in court when jumping a give way.

The other give way line jumpers as above are the ones who creep out at a low speed hoping that by edging into the road you will let them out. Now sure in gridlock traffic you need to do that to get anywhere these days and i will let out a fair share of people if they indicate (no indicators and you can go to fuck), but all too often its another posh cunt who cant be bothered to wait the few seconds until im past. So my solution for "creepers" as i call them, is to swerve to left side of road and force them to reverse to avoid loosing their bumper and/or swerve round them at last moment. The look on thier face usually shows theyve got the message...

 

Any of the muppets on the blackwall tunnel approach (going into London) who just repeatedly swap lanes back and forth and slow everyone else down!

 

With you all the way fella,especially when I had my old rusty transit which smoked like fuck,people instantly think"oh fuck,this cunts not insured!!" and immediately back off!!

 

im with u both.im on the road alday in my van its jus using the road as its bin laided out

 

Not something i actually witnessed the driver doing but i was working at the nokia HQ in farnborough a couple of years ago when a dude in a golf pulled in through the gates into a parking space with some smouldering remains of a tyre and a rim on the passenger front side..

Turns out it blew out on him coming down the motorway and he didn't want to stop to put a spare on incase he was late for his meeting!

Still beggars belief today...

Ginge

 

I love the fact there seems to be no limit to human stupidity

 

same here hence my current 4 year ban

 

That's where our old rusty defender comes in, 2 tonnes of box section steel, and a driver who doesn't give a fuck what hits it. You may be in a van, but the defender is stronger

The amount of times people in 'big' cars and vans have tried to push in, only to be confronted by something bigger and stronger, only for them to think 'fuck, not arguing with that' and back off...

 

Croydon is awful. Every time I go out some tit does something that get my blood going, and you know what the common denominator is? Indian's! All drive like its bloody Mumbi! Everyone else behaves. (No offense intended, but its my opinion based on my observations.)

Too many things to type in here, but my pet favorite is people getting in the wrong lanes for their exits at a round about. If your going Left, stay left, your going right, stay right, straight over in the middle! Dont cut up the fucker who is actually in the right lane!!!
