Things That Car Drivers Do To P155 You Off!

ever noticed why when you moan at a friend for speakin on their phone or sending a text. . . they always reply with something like

"i honestly say that i can take a call and it doesnt one bit affect my concentration on the road !"

every single one


makes me wonder sometimes

1. Pulling out in front of you and then taking all day to accelerate.
2. Looking at crap on the side of the road, and then drifting into other lanes while your behind them.
3. Noticing they have almost missed their turn, slamming on their brakes, and trying to make it.

That last one was demonstrated nicely to me yesterday. Some woman in a little white car on her cell phone was driving along, noticed she was going to pass her turn and slammed on her brakes. Now this wasn't a problem for me as I could stop much faster than her, the truck behind ME however couldn't. I check my mirror and see this thing coming towards us with its tires squeeling so I start to get on the gas and am heading to the shoulder to go around this woman in her car who is still waiting to turn and I'm hoping he hits her instead of me. Well as I start to move onto the shoulder and around her she sees that she's about to get plowed and gets on it, and completely cuts me off as she dives into a parking lot so I have to stop hard again. So I dodge her and get the hell out of that mess. The whole time she was still on her phone too, probably mouthing me for being some dangerous riding kid or something.

i hate the people who drive along the river path and brake to 2mph for the speed bumps and then start to look at the boats, i know if you go by the river it will be slower but i a, concerned that a little kid might run out infront of the car and they don't see them because the are too busy looking at the boats

Outside Stockwell tube station every morning.
3 lanes of traffic (bus lane ends a few yards back)
Row of cars at the front, motorbikes filter through , scooters then try & get past the bikes , pushbikes then squeze past the scooters
Now at least 3/4 of the pushbikes ignore the lights, but that usually leaves several wobbling all over the road when the lights change
Absolute chaos results, revving engines, horns, etc.

Never seen anyone squashed yet, but it must just be a matter of time

1. Drivers who have their front fog lights on during perfect viz to look 'cool' and draw attention to their 'tasty' motor.
2. Muppets who drive everywhere at 40 mph (and it's not just the crusty folk)
3. Caravans
4.I still can't get my head round 40 mph for HGV's on single carriageway national speed limit roads (Why not 50?)
5. Fags and rubbish out of the window
6. drivers with coloured lights implanted in their window washer nozzles or neon lights illuminating the road surface.

Definately fag ends out of windows. Don't know how often I have sat waiting while roads are closed due to Fire Service putting out burning verges in summer, I suppose they got started by spontaineous combustion

I had two motorway lessons AFTER I passed my driving test (around 10 years ago) as recommended by my examiner. There's no reason other people can't do this as well so why don't they?

2- not slowing down and missing you by millimetres when your making a turn
3/ drive BMW's and Merc's
4/kids being in a fiesta thinking they can beat you off the lights - and shouting out "wheelie" out of the window
5/moblie phone and generally not paying attention
6/people who try to cut you out of the que of traffic at junctions
7/people who doodle along at 15mph - then when your about to overtake- speed up to 30
8/ throw sh*t out the window
9/ see 8, then realising it hit you, proceed to use the window washers and get you wet
10/get blue bulbs fitted - making you think your being flashed to pull over
11/ get tinted windows so you cant see much of the traffic
12/park at stupid places - esp mothers collecting children
13/pull out to stop you filtering (when this happens - wack your full beam on - they get out of your way after a while)
14/not use mirrors
15/ turn suddenly with out indicating
16/think they own the road - cos there a builder
17/ not secure luggage properly from roof racks and or boot / driving while it is open
18/think they dont have to give way to a bike - cos they oviously pay cheaper road tax and dont have as much priority
19/ any more or less anything that has already been mentioned

Number 10 is really starting to pee me off, keep thinking its a traffic car..

BMW/Merc drivers that go from slip road to third lane of motorway without looking, or going fast enough to be in fast lane causing everyone to brake or try to move out of the way.
