Daft Stuff Drivers Do

UK PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS FORUMS THE UK PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS FORUM (INTERACTIVE)
1

People intending to go straight over a roundabout so they put on their hazard lights. I take it it’s because they are neither indicating left nor right?

Drivers/passengers who lean to the nearside as you pass them on a narrow road. Does this shrink the car?

People in campervans and other gutless vehicles who rock back and forth in their seats as if it gives them more momentum when being overtaken.

Elderly drivers who don’t sit completely in their seats but sort of lean over towards the passenger seat.

Dawdling drivers who shake their heads as they’re being overtaken.

Any more?

2

People who follow a bigger vehicle through a gap, then stop and shake their head saying they can’t fit through

3

Idiots who pull out in front of you even though there’s not another vehicle behind, causing you to brake only to then brake/indicate for the next right turn.
:imp:

Turning up at the depot then being told you have to work at another depot 20 miles away no problem says the driver, guy in the office hands said driver paperwork for a trailer “take this over please drive” ok says he and off he goes, hands paperwork in at office in other depot man in office says “where have you dropped the trailer” what trailer says he “I was only told to bring the paperwork over”

Driving down a contraflow and the tipper ahead sticks on all his flashers and pulls into the cones and a stream of cars follow him :laughing: those drivers are pretty special.

waiting to board a ferry…if the 1st car is being driven by a road commander plobber type,when he sets off to find the ramp,he will switch on his hazards…followed suit by the lemmings at his back…always rips me up watching that. :slight_smile:

and ■■■■■■■ in a bottle isnt daft…throwing it out of the window around calais,or emptying it on someone messing with you in a car might be…but so satisfying at the same time… :slight_smile:

15

Drivers who give you the :unamused: in a petrol station when you don’t queue to use a hose on the tank side.

People who slow down to 30mph when passing a camera on a NSL designated road.

Drivers who anchor up or mount the verge when they see an oncoming ambulance with nothing in its’ way.

Those who slow down when a hearse passes in the opposite direction.

Our colonial cousins who park on the hard shoulder and pray.

Placing of hats on parcel shelves.

Doesn’t count with you mate because I have met you.

I do have a vision of the mule though. I see him in a Hannibal Lecter facemask spanking the [zb] out of a chimpanzee. Is this weird?
