Had one last week… heading up to J11 thru Cannock. Just moved off the roundabout where two lanes become one when a bird in a convertable BMW screams up the outside and pushes thru the narrowing gap between me and the oncoming line of cars. She managed to take her wing mirror off but didnt stop…
she was probably to busy talking to whoever was on the phone she had held against her ear
Whilst I am normally unfazed by the antics of these clowns there are moments when I just want to take them out for good.
to many car drivers don’t give enough room to the lorry drivers who are on round abouts. Been to many RTCs where lorries have took the front of with the rear end of there truck due to the car drivers down the inside knowing that the lorry has no room to move.
Re. the spiral on doughnuts taking you across another vehicle, in the great scheme of traffic disasters the newish lights and road markings on the double doughnut at A19/Portrack/Haverton has just this. Try coming from North then around the double and out to Portrack, white paint all in the wrong places. plus of course 24 hour operating lights which cause more congestion than they cure, but that is a whole new whinge!
Anyone enjoy the car drivers who bomb past you on the M/Way and suddenly realise theyre slip is about 50yds away so they decide to jump in front of you and bang the brakes on instead of just slowing down and pulling in behind you■■?
Hi all.
I was once aproaching J29 Southbound on M6 and decided I was catching the HGV in front so a lane change was in order. I checked my mirror and indicated and it was a Traffic Cop in a Range Rover about halfway down my trailer. He slowed down and flashed me in. “How nice” I thought. Quick check of the mirrors again and over we go. Just as I started moving over, some moron decided it was his junction and came from the THIRD lane to directly in front of me and hit the brakes so he didn’t run up the arse of the truck I was trying to overtake. I stamped on the brake pedal so hard I think the trailer momenterally locked up despite the ABS. I was doing about 35mph by now and blasting the horn and flashing the lights. The copper had seen it all and slowed down and flashed me in again. As I moved over and thanked him, about 200 metres later I watched as he came off the motorway and followed the offending vehicle around the roundabout.
I can only hope he tore shreds off him and I would have loved to have been there to see it. Finally, a copper where and when you need one!
Doppy Bird was trying to Kill herself and the kids in the car last night .13 7 09
Im in the 2nd of 4 lanes to go across the roundabout. lane 3 and 4 is for turning right , dopy woman is sat behind me then tries to cut through lane 3 then she’s trying to shove her car in my back door FERKIN HELL.( Gets better)
next junction she goes on the inside and as i’m turning right at the next lot of lights i stay in teh stream of traffic to turm right. She now has to come across all the traffic and she’s still behind me (WTF) and better .
She’s still behind me and sittin right up my ■■■ I’m now thinking she may be a Arse Dr gets to another roundabout where I’m turning yet right again and yep she’s so tight on my arse it looks like I’m driving teh No 47 bus FFS. As I get on the roundabout I’m checkin me mirrors and guess what She’s vanished No oh Ferkin No she’s not , she’s now trying to pass me on the inside she’s gone from being a F…ng Bus to being a seating section of a jumbo JET.
I dont normally have ago at dozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy women but when we got to the next jn I just had to have words. Told her to take the licence back and get a refund. I didnt lose it but where the F do they come from.
Oh yeah just to top it she tried to pass one more time on a single lane roundabout just a tad further uo the road.

I would have said to her -
If you want to commit suicide then I may be able to help you but I will not murder your kids unless that is also your intention??
Indicating when exiting a roundabout would make the traffic flow so much better imo. Ithink you can get fined if you dont in do it Belge . . are indicators an optional extra on a BMW ?

Aggression, poor driving and serious bad attitude seem to be a requirement of BMW ownership, at least it appears that way?
Some car drivers, in cars as such as BMW’s mainly, are complete ■■■■■■■ but then not all lorry drivers are innocent. Some of them are also complete ■■■■■■■■ I let a truck through on a main road, construction was on his side, I was just being genuine, no thank you, he even looked but carried on chewing his gum with a smurk. Some lorry drivers are just ■■■■■■■■■ thinking they own the road because their vehicle is larger. And that’s probably the reason why the person in the BMW beeped his horn. When a lorry driver does what he did to me, it gives lorry drivers a bad reputation. I think everyone is in the same boat here.

I hear what you are saying, there are some nasty and ignorant little articles driving trucks too.
Another good r/bout is A5 noth/bound at Muckley corner The amount of idiots that shoot up the inside to carry on the A5. ignoring the arrows and signage
Stuff em… i don’t slow down or let em in as they should not be there.
back to the original post…its there job to give way if you are on the roundabout before they cross the give way line! if they give you grief honkin and gesturing just stop in the middle, get out, and tell em to go have a read of the highway code! its a roundabout not a raceabout! also, indicators are, i believe, an optional extra nowadays and that includes on some lorries!!!
Whilst I agree that a large majority of BMW drivers are inconsiderate, arrogant turds; one has to be like that in order to be in a position to able to afford a new beemer nowadays!
They’re not all bad though, I drive and love my e39 530i sport (a BMW!) and yet I’m a considerate driver. Because of the wonderful, precise handling and rear wheel drive power, I occasionally have a little fun on roundabouts but I’m fully prepared to stop if somebody doesn’t see me in time and I won’t be getting irate with them if they do pull out on me - after all, it’s me who’s in the wrong.
And, believe it or not, I always use my indicators where I should! I think for some other drivers, there’s an attitude that it’s much more “cool” to sod the others and make them guess where you’re going. Police cars spring to mind amongst others…
The other major irritant I find on mini-roundabouts are car drivers approacing from the opposite direction, who seem to feel they have a God-given right to turn right directly in front of you, driving over the roundabout in the process, regardless of the fact that you have already entered the roundabout
If three vehicles approach a mini roundabout with 3 exits and they all want to turn right - who has the right of way? Weve all done it. . sit there looking at each other then all move at once
