Annoying Things People Do on the Roads

Cars that drive in to the Lgv parking at Msa’s.
The look on their face is priceless when they realise what they have done.
A confused look.Once there
the way out is only the exit to the motorway.
Big sign on the way in that says where the car park is.
They even draw you a picture of a car on the sign to assist the mentaly challenged.

sayersy:
Struggling for miles behind a cyclist. I can’t accelerate quickly, so it takes a while to get past him safely. Then at the next set of lights/junction/traffic delay he’s back up the inside of me and I have to start the whole process again. They complain that we don’t give them respect on the road, then they choose to ignore the rules that are there for all of us.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

young women drivers who find it perfect acceptable to drive so close that they are almost scraping the bird ■■■■ of the boot. They also do this whilst playing with hair, makeup or mobile. Worse than boy racers IMHO

Drivers who accelerate into the gap you have indicated into for the last half a mile, just so they don’t sit behind the big nasty slow lorry for 30 seconds :imp:

Foreign private cars who drive through the roadworks @ 37mph - cos they think “50” means Km/H. :angry: :open_mouth:

People joining on sliproads who insist on matching your speed on the entry slip, rather than pulling in behind you, or speeding away. :unamused:

4x4 drivers who’ll cruise @ 55mph - 'cos it’s good for fuel consumption. NEWS - So is not having one of the damned diesel guzzlers in the first place! :imp:

Artic drivers who don’t know how to do 40 on single lanes, or 50 through the roadworks. :angry:

Anyone who tailgates me - ever. :imp: :imp:

Lane wandering - Usually rolling a ■■■… :unamused:

People on their phones whilst driving, and never ever seem to get caught!

People who can’t drive, and yet magically always seem to be able to afford a flash motor that I cannot.

Oncoming drivers who don’t dip their headlights until they’ve had you full in the face with them. :angry:

Police vehicles parked up on their ramps who don’t pay any attention to any of the above when it happens right in front of them. :imp:

P or just passed the driving test plates on cars.What is the pount if they have reached the standard to be safe on the road.
What are supposed to do,leave a mile gap in case they have a panic attack.
Young lady on the M25 hogging lanes then swapping lanes.
Then slowing down with artics up her back end.
Get your money back from who taught you to steer a new car.She had the special needs P lease pass i can’t drive.

EVERYTHING at the moment :imp: Roll on my holiday next week :smiley:

A Morrison’s artic was blasting his horn at me last night as a way of telling me to go at a roundabout. That annoyed me.

■■■■■■■ dopy ■■■■ whits that tailgate you in your car. And the minute you get the ■■■■■ past they slow down till there 15mph below the limit.
I end up passing the ■■■■■ and giving me wee car a bootful so they get a lung ful of my black derv smoke.

Totally ■■■■■ my ■■■■■■■ day up.

I can put up with most things but bus drivers,it doesn’t matter how big the lay-by bus stop is they always stop at an angle leaving their arse end in the road ggggrrrrrr.only time they stop straight is when the bus stop is on the road. Do they get told to stop like this as surely someone can just crash into the back of it. Cheers

Just as you get level to pass them, they always choose that instant to signal and pull out in the same move. :imp:

Saw a bloke in a car yesterday in a slow-moving queue up to a roundabout mucking about with his radio. Wires, radio all being inspected. Total respect to the artic behind him who sat patiently while muppet-features sits there as traffic in front starts moving, then continues to fiddle and play around with things as he trickled along. When I told the artic driver what he was up to, he stuck a little closer to the guy, to make him more aware of his presence…

All vehicles lorries included who overtake on the motorway ,pull in then run right up the arse of another ,then slow down causing you to pull out round them ,then make hand gestures at you as you go past them ,and all I’ve done is maintain the same speed .

I do this if the situation is safe to do so.

If I’m in the car and someone is tailgating me excessively/yawning/looking distracted/playing with the mobile/etc, I simply indicate and slow to a stop. Inevitably because they are tailgating they have not got the space/time to see if it is safe to overtake and come to a stop with me. After they pass me I continue of my way. It’s a really passive-aggressive way of dealing with them. I don’t doddle along either, but neither do I speed, it just costs them time.

Another of the intellectually challenged posse. You must be part of Team Slater (see the murder thread on here), or at least you soon will be if you keep playing games like you do. Do us all a favour and tear up your licence and blue card. Ta.

Anyone driving faster than I am, at any time, on any road coz if they need to overtake me then they must be driving like a ■■■■■■ maniac.

Anyone driving slower than I am, at any time, on any road coz if I need to overtake them then they must be driving like a ■■■■■■ old woman.

Would you understand better if I said I pull over and let aggressive drivers past?

There is nothing intellectually challenging about taking control of a situation and letting a car past where it is safe to do so. It is using many years of experience to know where “safe to do so” is; on a bend, a solid white line, or in heavy traffic would not be safe. It is not being aggressive, or playing games at all! It’s not something I do whilst driving a truck, but I do pull into lay-bys if there is an excessive queue behind.

As ever, whenever anyone speaks of driving there is always something ready to rip into them, even if their driving is saintly.

Lorry Watch schemes. Coffin dodging ,oxygen wasters who can’t find a day centre, garden centre, rotary club etc to fester away in. Thus they pretend they’re coppers instead.

Ha Ha, they’ve been doing that in Roade, on the A508, Mk-Northampton, for the last few days, Smug Looking Gits, with a speed gun & a clip board.

I just slow right down to 5/10 mile an hour, just to wind them up. (Wonder why they give me Funny Looks ? Lol)
