Who are the worst drivers? - SV650.org

I think the worst are van drivers, closely followed by the elderly.
Van drivers DO indicate, but generally after they have started the turn, and old people think they are the only people on the road, and seem to not know what a lane is.

Who do you think are the worst drivers? (obviously not EVERY person in each catogary will be a terrible driver, but as a general rule...)

Middle Aged, Women, in Large Jeeps/Estate Cars, Think they own the road, and everyone else is just not as good as them. Rant over.

Yes it was my first ride today when everyone is back at school after the half term, and during school pick up hours. It's been the only ride i havn't enjoyed due to the traffic and mums in their 4x4's.

Following me closely are; the elderly, the stupid (boyracers and smackheads), the rich (rangerovers etc.)

Old people and Posh women.

Anything that sits in a cage with four wheels?

I've had soo many run ins with rangerovered blondes. Thinking small 2 way roads are oneway, understeering out of a junction they mistimed for fear of breaking a nail, blindly reversing into main roads, changing lanes with no observation (luckily I foresaw this as they had there mirrors folded in!!).

Hmmm, depends where you're driving I think. In the country lanes I've had to use my whole life, the elderly are the worst because they either refuse to reverse even when they are only 10yards past a passing place or they can no longer turn their heads to see where they are going.

On general roads, A and B roads, I agree, van drivers are terrible.

In towns and cities, without doubt it's taxi drivers

Motorways I would say the occasional lorry driver that ingnores the law and uses lane 3, the idiots that cannot drive anywhere but the middle lane and the typical field sales execs that spends half thier lives on the motorway and think they own it do particularly annoy me!
