Re: Most dangerous on the road
WVM for me. they seem to react very aggressively towards bikes and hate being overtaken. To be fair, i used to drive a van and the visibility is poor, so i always approach them with caution if filtering.
i also think slow / nervous lost drivers are the cause of a lot of accidents because they do stupid stuff you arent expecting and will just stop without warning. went into the back of a woman once in the car who stopped after moving onto a completely clear round about because "oh i just thought i'd check it was clear again" - raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa you stupid stupid cow, you do not stop on roundabouts (congestion and light aside of course). Rant over. |

Re: Most dangerous on the road
Eviltwin and I got hit by an old driver so that's what I voted. The police have told us that since hitting us he has voluntarily given up his driving licence so I guess he is less of a danger now.

Re: Most dangerous on the road
Believe it or not I find that cyclists are a nightmare. They do not signal, jump red lights. swing out between cars, the list goes on........

Re: Most dangerous on the road
People on Mobiles. Whether they think it or not, as soon as they are on the phone, the driving lines match that of someone who's drunk, swearving all over the road, can't control the cars out of junctions, roundabouts etc.
Older people (with money, i.e jags, mercs) who think they are rich hence own the road. They lost the use of indicators and mirrors years ago and the outside lane is just for them, and they will not move even if theres nothing in sight on the 2 lanes inside them. Pedestrians, quite what the intelligence factor is when they walk out in front of you listening to their ipods without looking amazes me. Me on my 200kg bike doing 20mph Vs them walking in the road. Who's going to come off worse? Cyclists, but only when they swerve accross lanes without looking or signalling they are going to do it. If your gonna throw a paddy because i didn't let you out, try looking next time. Or jsut feel my warth!!! I usually find WVM are quite good going into the city, they always leave me room or move out the way to let the bikers past. Last edited by Daimo; 14-09-07 at 01:31 PM. |

Re: Most dangerous on the road
Old white van men who think they are young and constantly using mobiles..........
But seriously without a doubt it is people on mobiles, as Daimo says they are woprse than drunk drivers and are a constant source of annoyance on the A2 each day!!! |
