What grinds your gears when driving?

Featured Replies

Hi all I wanted to know what piss's people when driving day to day as there are many things that piss me of lol and want to make sure I'm not the only one . Here's what grinds my gears

1. People driving below the speed limit like 15-20 in a 30 zone .I know I shouldent but I sit so close to their bumper till the move out the way or do 30 which is slow enough .

2. Bikes driving like fucking cars . You have a bike why are you not overtakeing every one . 50cc moped doing 20 inbetween two cars the top speed is bout 30 on them things if I had one I would be full throttle all the time.

3. Parking wardens and their gay little smart cars ncp are utter twats and I give them shit every time I c them lol

4. Women in stupid cars eg x5 , porsha cayanna if that's how you spell it , range rovers . Not only do then not know how to drive them the never look in their mirrows and drive on the other side of the road and block roads cus they can't see that they can fit through a gap. O yeh and they can't park them for shit .

Lol I needed to get that of my chest sorry if this is a moaney post but I would like to hear that I'm not the only one

Oh dear...

Yep spot on with all of them. One thing that really P's me off are people who sit up you are arse in a 30 then are a dot in the distance when u get in the 60. Go bk into the 30 there up you are arse ARRRHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Oh dear indeed.. lot of anger here I feel.. perhaps u should concentrate on your own driving before you start criticising others

twats in flat caps eg.80yo blokes in Fiestas or Micras doing 20mph and not having the guts to turn out of a junction.

lane hoppers on the motorway.

this one may just be me, but driving at night and getting a big 4x4 ie.BMW X5 driving on my back bumper with its xenon headlights on full beam and getting the reflection in my mirrors.

Vans hitting me from behind isnt good.

People that dont indicate coming off islands.

Police driving behind me for ages.

Chavs coming up my arse in their corsa's (there is loads round here)

I could go on.

swear there is already a topic with exactly the same name... it wasnt that long ago either.

This may well be the stupist thing i have heard with regards to driving. 30mph being to slow? Do you think everyone should speed through the centre of town at 60? I understand that if its v. quiet (like late night) then these rules may be bent.

And again, why should motorcycles risk their lives just 'cause you think they should drive faster? Have you ever been on a bike? If so, you would know that you are extremely exposed, and at a much greater risk of serious accident.

And your last set of comments are bigoted and border on mysogeny. There are several girls (that i know of) on this forum, and i hope they give you sh@t back.

The most stupid thread i have read on here (besides that shed one :?). You are obviously a youthful boy racer, who should really be in a Saxo. Move along and find yourself a Shitroen

I agree mostly with prankstar on this one.

I personally drive below the speed limit on occasion simply because hitting the deck and cracking sumps isn't a favourite past time of mine. I think you need to remember something I was once told, the speed limit is in fact a limit, it's not a target.

As for people coming up behind with HID's and the like, I just put up with it to be fair, they eventually move after I gradually slow down a little.

I'd say what mostly gets on my nerves is when turning off at a double junction, with a queue of traffic behind and I can't pull across due to oncoming traffic, you always get the idiot who thinks he'll take a pot shot and will cut you up by any means.

Also, people who don't indicate.

Would also have to be people who stick right up my arse anywhere, and this includes the condition mentioned above as well where when I accelerate to 60 in the relevant zone, they are nowhere to be seen.

The people who wind me up the most are the ones who sit at 50mph in a 60 zone, then it will go to a 40 zone and they will carry on doing 50mph. I'm trying to do the speedlimit of 60 but they're going to slow so when i drop down to 40 they're speedin . does my head in

That is so my dad! Once he's cruising at a steady 50, he's not changing! Motorway or no motorway! :lol:

You fail....

1) 30 is to be safe for everyone and is hardly too slow through a town.

2) Just because bikes can overtake anything doesnt mean they have to, they have a right to use the road as much as you do. And as said, have you ever been on a bike - very exposed and a lot more risky imo.

3) Just becuase they drive gay little smart cars doesnt mean you can give them shit, especially if your parking in the wrong place anyway - why else would you need to give them shit....

4) Il place a large bet that dirrt could outdrive you in any of those bigger cars that you've mentioned....

haha yea 50s guuurd, i do thats sometimes :p

i dislike it when people go too slow round bends and then get to a straight where it ideal to over take them and they shove their foot down so its not safe to overtake.

pepole who see my car and think I'm guna race that! happens everytime i leave work, the barrys sit outside halfords see me leave try to race me they dont get anywere, every fucking day its a different barry with a different sticker were the 1l badge used to be on the old scrapso, they all chat to each other AND try everyday. i even drive at 20 so they can overtake, that pisses me off just because I've got a lowerd gti doesnt mean i wan2 race! faggots.

also pepole who pull out infront of me and do 5mph and gradully build up there speed it happens all the time around here, i just overtake instantly, after all its illegal to make any other driver make a change in speed or direction,

when pepole tailgate, that annoys me the most

Failed syncromesh really grinds my gears. :-D

But the thing that gets to me is the people with HID headlights

that blind you. Until they are 10ft away from you.

isnt there a thread like this in members off topic lol

repost tbh

yeh cool that some of you guys have posted good comments but for thinking I'm a chav or what ever thats worng I'm far from, more like a chilled out frindly stoner :) lo l and i know why its is 30 but I'm talken bout roads that it shouldent be and late at night . i drive pretty well and safe i am just getting sick of nearly haven crashes due to nobs that shouldent have driving licences and fucking up my insurance and car.i have been driving a few years and have dodged crashes from other people not looking in mirros and driving like dicks. i have driven bikes and over taking is a piece of piss thats what the purpose of a bike is in my eyes not to be held up lol

i never slated women drives as men are the same just the ones that have needless cars and and cause problems and put others at risk ,its the same for men but generly women .

likeing the other post tho i dam well agree

peace

same here, does my head in.

people who sit behind you on the moterway when your in a van/ truck and you cant see them properly, so you slow down so they over take you and they stay behind you!!! i once was doing 25 on the m1 before some guy overtook me.

if you cant see a truck or vans mirrors they cant see you

rant over :-)

Edited by richlyons

People who block access. Like people who will sit on a roundabout even though the traffic in that direction isn't moving so they are pretty much blocking the whole roundabout. Or people who sit in the yellow box, its there for a reason not cause its looks pretty.

Or when there is a parking space the size of Jupiter but some cock ring taxi driver feels the need to park in the middle of the road and not bother moving his arse over so people can use the road.

People who sit in the middle lane of the motorway and are constantly slowing traffic down.

Theres endless amounts of stuff tbh. Seldom do a journey without kicking off about something :lol:
