yes I know another O/T thread - what's your pet hate on fellow motorist or driving ? I get the hump with traffic lights on roundabouts - I mean wtf pointless and I also get irritated when drivers indicate right on a roundabout when exiting it - again wtf
People not going the limit tends to be the elderly and women People not exiting junctions when theres plenty of space to do so Find most german car drivers are utter arsehole drivers Tend to get quite a bit of road rage nowadays!
People who go 60mph on a 50mph stretch of road that goes up to 70. They continue going 60. It then drops back to 50, but keep going 60. They over take you while speeding, then you over take them, only for them to overtake you again while going over the limit.
THE MIDDLE LANE IS FOR OVERTAKING YOU IDIOTS!!!!! No-indication at roundabouts (much like Billy) or at Junctions - it's a nightmare pulling out at the end where I work and the amount of people who turn in without letting you know is ridiculous!
When your driving about 60mph on a A road and some idiot pulls out of a side road then drives 30mph when there's no traffic behind you I was in a Mercedes dealership that was on a roundabout when one guy had cut the other up, the guy drove into the forecourt being chased by the other guy hitting cars as he tried to get out.
Where to begin??? I hate people who don't indicate at roundabouts, I'm not a mind reader. People who keep indicating right at roundabout but come off left, I'd rather you didn't bother at all rather than do it wrong. People who drive into parking spaces, driveways and quiet roads and then try to reverse out. Reverse in, drive out is What I was taught. People who park over or on the lines .... normally the plebs who drive in forwards. Middle lane hoggers. Motorcyclists "think bike, think biker", ok but they need to stop breaking speed limit and weaving in and out of traffic and overtaking on inside. People who park on corner of junction. Rubber neckers. People who can't keep safe distance. People who don't allow traffic to filter in. Honestly, I hate driving and only do so out of necessity.
People who won't get out of the ****ing way for my BMW Seriously though, like Billy says, those who don't indicate on a roundabout, I'd love to shove their indicators right up their arse. Another one is the lane cutter, when two lanes both turn right and the one in the other lane to me goes right across me like it's one lane. ****... neck... snap.
And Taxi drivers, every damn one of them, especially the Hackney Carriage black cabs, horrible little bastards, I'd love to line them all up and use them for cricket bat practice.
As a pedestrian, drivers constantly failing to to indicate leaving a roundabout has had me clipped once and nearly ran over dozens of times. There's a large percentage of bad drivers playing Russian roulette with pedestrians lives.
That's me, all day long I will park in them bays. Only because they're twice as big and I've had my car scratched 3 times in places like Tesco. If not I'll park across two spaces so no car can park close to mine, unless it's an NCP cos they **** you for that.
I saw someone park up at Sainsbury's in Durham the other day, get out of his car (on his own) and go into the boot and get a kiddie seat out and put it in the car. No children - he just had a kids seat seemingly forn the occasion!! (Terry - It does my head in when people without small children park in them. I understand why you do but it annoys the hell out of me!! Next time I'm in Manchester and I see a Beemer parked in a child space qwithout child seats in I'm going to key the ****er!!
Mate, there's probably 80 spaces at every Tesco in Manchester for parent and children and I've never seen more than 5 in use at any one time. I sometimes only pop in for a quick couple of bits, in that case I'll just park right outside the door
It's the town man, the centre is surrounded by a ring road Admittedly my mania does make me a liability but I'm making my decisions to cross based on drivers signaling otherwise it's 20 minutes to cross a ****ing road.
