Talking Too many slow bast**ds on the road

Im not joking northyorkshire has some prime roads for a good thrash, but if it not a sneaky copper hiding round the corner, its them bloody sunday drivers with thier days mixed up. i mean there nowt worst than someone driving 45 mph everywere is there, they even drive 45 through 30 limits aswell. add that to caravans, tractors and horse boxes and you may as well not even bother, either that or wait till the early hours of the morning. Id love to take my car to track days but mu insurrance is high enough as is it. But i give in theres too much traffic on the roads,so if anyone has any advise on track days, or know of any cheap insurers let us know, cos its really starting to pee me off. car runs like a bag of shit if its no reving above 3000rpm.

sort your car out before trying to rag it everywhere,then take it to a local airfield track day,plenty of run off there just incase.

i thing you need to let off a bit of steam.

I went out a for a drive at about 10 tonight and i was a fooking joke the amount of people I got stuck behind. Every little corner or crest they were braking and if someone came the other way they virtually stopped, tossers.

Agreed. I rarely speed during the day in the van, or if i do its only just over the limit, but these fools that drive way below the limits are bloody EVERYWHERE now! I reckon they actually think that there driving safely too, and are totally unaware of the chaos and road rage there causing behind them! Then they have the cheek to flash you or wave there hands at you if you overtake them!

It really gets to me when these idots do 40 in the national speed limits, then come to a village with a 30 limit and carry on through doing 40-45. They must be so unaware and obviously fail to read road signs!

Now that really annoys me too! Its as though they get nervous when a car comes towards them. These drivers should not be allowed on the road. Im pretty sure that most of these drivers that wind people up would never pass a test if they had to take one.

You lot should try living in blackpool, we have the illuminations to deal with, stand still traffic for 5/6 miles, having to take the back roads, all the locals take the back roads though which doesnt make it any better

I live a mile from the end of the illuminations, and the mrs lives half a mile from the other end of the lights, so a twenty minute journey turns into nearly an hour sometimes

Thats another one, people who stop on main roads to let people in off a side road! That amazes me how and why people do this! what must be going through their heads to even consider it?

Also, while im at it, the people who feel its necessary to swing out to the right to turn left into a side road, hgv style! WHY!!!!!!!

I took the misses sister out for a driving lesson the other day.
L plates front and rear so as far as I'm concerned anyone who complains about it can get fucked.

We went down the local back roads to avoid the main traffic flow.
Fuck me did that piss on a load of folks chips.

Got soo many evil looks. She was complaining that some woman behind kept shaking her head at her in the mirror.
Sometimes its funny to be the cause rather than the sufferer.

Only acceptable if the driver of the other vehicle is blonde with decent fun bags, only to be done to have a decent butchers

Dunno what's going on with the HGV manoeuvres either, Scandinavian flick is much more effective

i agree with that, let the blonde ones in front, then you can stay well out the way of any sudden sketchy manuvors.

i swear people in reading dont know how to use a fucking roundabout, i watched this woman just sat there at a roundabout when it was her right of way...no cars coming, yet she just sat there!!

there are some fuckers who drive 25 in a 40 which really gets me. i dont usually have to get anywhere important, but i have better things to do than just sit behind them all fucking day!!
