Talking some drivers are totally crap

on my way over to watford an hour ago when traffic started building up then all I hear is sirens then police cars fire brigade and ambulances go flying past, get to a mini roundabout where I can double back on myself and low and behold a stupid woman in a silver merc overtakes me and skids into a police van pass door CraSh ! , the female officer was holding back traffic from entering the road and could not believe her eyes and gave the driver a right mouthful things like large white police van with flashing lights and sirens must mean nothing to some




check out the officers face lol

Not far from me that roundabout. Some idiots round there. Glad they put the traffic calming measures near harrow view point. As there seemed to be a accident every week.

Defo agree there are some right dim gits on the road.I just wish people would use the indicators,go round ROUNDabouts and not cut over them. I also wish people would flash more people out at junctions.Imo if we all worked together the traffic would flow better.

This is one of the stupidest examples of driving that ever was! Hope she's on Road wars or something cause that is entertainment!

Edit to say it wasn't Dal's mrs was it? Only the number plate says different

yeah i wonder what the crash statistics for women would be like if this was taken into account. ie gender of actual driver involved, not main policy holder.

was your son secure in his seatbelt??

to be fair the phone laws are getting silly now.

You can be parked in a car park in neutral, handbrake on with the engine on to keep warm and still be done and get 3 points.

my son is 20 and most of the drivers were all out of their cars as traffic had been stationary for around 15 mins, it was only the merc driver that made the long wait worth while as they were a total plank
