I dont mean to be racist in saying this but most indians in my area really take the piss.

when cars are parked on their side of the road and i have right of way as they are coming into my lane, they feel they should go first, even though there is nowhere for them to go. ending up in my braking harshly, everything in the car scattered on the floor, and ending up millimeters from the other car.

i know in their contry, the bigger car goes first (according to jeremy clarkson) but that doesnt apply here.

I'm not saying all indians are bad drivers, but some of them do need to retake their tests big time!!

also, old people can be rather annoying, got stuck behing a berlingo once with old people driving doing 12 in a 30 area and no way of overtaking.

and the people that swerve and dont indicate annoy me too, but that isnt a specific group of people, even my mum does it and i dont like it!! lol

nonono, the people that kill me, you're going up to a roundabout, you can see NOTHING is coming, you look infront and the driver is slamming there brakes on, almost coming to a stop, then slowly pulling away, STILL where you can see nothing coming.

on big roundabouts you have to look when you're almost there, and you KNOW nothing's coming, so u can just drive out without looking

Argh.

Alex

This.

dont know the width of the vehicle they're in!

and people who are 'the worlds best driver because their car is expensive'

they have special rights.

like when roads go into one and its like signs '200 yards' and some idiot will ALWAYS hoon down the outisde, wait and indicate left.

saw an rs6 do this the other day, we were all in traffic =\

Alex

I'm gonna stick up for the dude in the RS6 on this one.

At the end of this 200yards there will be a sign which means "merge in turn"

This means everyone in the inside lane must let 1 person from the outside merge into the single lane to carry on. If everyone did this and not bunch up towards the end and slam on the anchors not letting anyone one in then the traffic would not build up as much in the first place.

i worded it wrong, i mean like, if there's a lane going to be shut, and it says get into lane X, people will rinse down the outside lane which you're not meant to be in, wait at the end and indicate into lane X whilst we have to wait =\

Alex

I do hate that though. Cruising down a free lane past all the spaktards that panicked at the first merge sign and all dived for the same lane, only to get to the merge and no fucker will let you out because they are frustrated from their own incompetence, having just waited in 10 mins of traffic.

Lmfao well said.

I go to College in Bath, the traffic is ALWAYS stupid in the morning, when i used to moped, i used to ride past them all, and can't help smiling to myself, almost laughing

good times

Alex

Ahem..... i am a girl and i do know where the coollant goes and how to change a wheel.... on both my cars and my scooter all older than 24yrs old might i add...

and as for cars being harder to drive back in the day thats not entirely true... i have a 1968 Wolseley Hornet and is the easiest thing to drive, also the 2.2 version of the wolseley which is a very big car also from the early 70's does come with power steering as did many cars back then and again is the easiest cruising car so i dont believe u can blame the cars....

i blame the women drivers themselves... i remember on one day i had 3 women BMW drivers pull out on me... 3 in one day!!!

I agree that women drivers in 4x4's are the worst and the fact that they bought a 4x4 for 'safety'... they didnt think about the people that they killed in the other normal car they crashed into....

Old people, middle aged women drivers and boy racers being pricks are the people that shudnt be on the road... oh and the tit that almost hit my fellas B3 passat in asda car park coz he just 'didnt see' the big black car with its G60 humming away sat infront of him.... stopped in a queue too...

rant over

According to an AA survey its us (modifiers)

Cant find the thing on it now though.

People who can't reverse down a country lane, or have a bigger car and therefore think you should be the one reversing.

and bus drivers.

Everyone else who is on the road the same time as me!

I hate almost everyone that drives on the road...because I believe these days no one can actually drive.

I say this because I highly believe my style of driving is correct whereas everyone else on the road seems to disagree apart from a few friends.

For example:

In 30mph zones I stick religiously to 30mph...this seems to annoy everyone who is tailgating behind me, but as soon as a roundabout or corner comes...I'll continue doing 30mph round that and everyone behind me backs off, why?

Still in 30 zones...if I see a national speed sign approach, I'll often select 2nd gear, as I come level with the sign I'll accelerate to a speed that I want to travel at.

This process looses all the tailgaters but finds me on the tails of those who did not do 30mph through the town or city we were just in. These said people are now doing 45mph on a supposed 60mph road. So I'll adopt the overtaking position behind them and select 3rd gear and wait for a suitable gap in oncoming traffic to pass them.

When a gap appears I'll pass them as quickly as my car will accelerate and carry on on my journey.

But this has often seen me get signs displayed to me from the cars drivers or headlights flashed at me, why?

They are doing 45mph in a 60mph zone...I want to do 60...ish. In my eyes thats better driving than the 40 in a 30 they were doing previously.

Anyway I travel along say a 4 mile stretch of national road and I come to a town again...I'll slow down to 30mph BEFORE the signs (some people don't seem to grasp the concept of doing 30mph as you pass the sign) and travel through the town at 30mph. About 2-3 minutes in this town I'll find I'm being tailgated by a car I overtook in the national zone as they have stuck at 45mph until they have got to me.

These kinds of drivers I encounter everyday I drive my car, and I fucking hate them all!!!

Rant over!!

Steven :)

totally agree! i pass three speed cameras on my way to college and still have people driving close behind me? , i do the limit everywhere and try not to go go over at all, annoys me when people sit on my bumper trying to 'push' me to go 40 or something.

most road users annoy me even though I've only passed for 2 months i still see people driving to what i think is worse than me!

Bus Drivers.

Taxi Drivers.

Most london Drivers, i go there quite often with work never fails to work me up into a fit of rage!!

Almost every single bloody person in Cottingham.

The driving is atrocious! Not so much as just being dicks in BMW's or whatever how I was used to in Manchester.

They simply cannot drive. There is usually a row of parked cars on one side of the road and to be honest, in 99% of the places you could EASILY fit a bus and a 4x4 through, yet everyone in their ford focuses or whatever decides to stop because there car suddenly grew 4ft bloody wide.

People who can't reverse down a country lane, or have a bigger car and therefore think you should be the one reversing.

haha, i just turn my engine off, and just wait, or just laugh ><

Alex

takeaway delivery guys in there nissan micra's and taxis

old people on motorised scooters

and not just dangerous when I'm driving aswell

one tried to run me down when i was leaving my bastarding house

All the little pricks that race round our town.I live 5 miles from Santa Pod pay a tenna and run it up the strip you TOSSERS. And by the way loud exhausts dont impress anyone. Regards Burt

I'm sure that modern cars do make the problem worse. For a start any modern car has ridiculously large pillars which make THEIR car safer never mind the poor sod on the bike who they haven't seen.

Also i agree with the point the chap earlier said I always stick at 30mph in a 30 zone, but have driven plenty of modern cars that literally dont feel like their moving at 30mph

The fact that some cars like the new BMW's come with whats basically a PC in the dashboard is appauling and should be banned, and massaging seats that soothe you to sleep WTF?? i think its quite crucial to have the fact reiterated to you that your controlling 2 tonnes of metal.

Aside from that i generally hate people who stop about a foot behind you (especially when on a hill) i mean i know you shouldnt slip back but in practice its just easier and there is no need for it. I did have a rather effective method for this in the beach buggy running a rear facing stinger pipe and over fuelling somewhat ... i think the prospect of a molten bumper on the floor worked quite nicely

But the AA always blames the young people with modified cars. To them, we're the answer to all the problems on the road!

I drove to London once with 2 mates (well Barnet, nearly London ) and the amount of people who try to force their way out of a side road even though there isnt a gap is bloody annoying. I got out to one chap to show him there wasnt enough room to fit his car in the 2ft gap in front of mine. He backed up quick

i hate people that are to bisy looking out the window's (look at that hill) thay go so slow, dont ceap in there lane brake for no reason. just take a photo and look at it when you get home..... or people that dont no where thay are going thay really piss me off

and people that go fast on a strate and slow round corners. thay go to fast for you to get past on the strates but you are pushing them round the corner.. and old drivers and ones that brake when eva thay see a car coming the other way.. thay say under 25's are bad drivers i wood say over 60's are just as bad.

what is the crack

with people who cant even do the speed limit down country lanes, then dont reduce their speed in villages where theyer more likely to kill someone. so they're well keen for going like 50 in 30's but wont go 60 or 70 :S

and people who are determined to sit in the middle/outside lane of the motorway when theyres fuck all else around! if your not over taking you should really be in the inside lane!

and when you give way to some one thay dont eaven give you a wave to say thanks.. maners cost nothing

i ALWAYS give way, and when people dont say thanks, it really fucks me off, how rude are some people! that doess my head in, good mind to punch the twats :)

ye i no or thay give you that look like your in the rong..

i know, like you make eye contact with them, and they just give you a dirty look :S bmw drivers....do they sign a contract to drive like a nob when they buy one?

i never let bmw drivers or bus's out

fuck the lot of um!

Prox, you rant about who you think are bad drivers e.t.c....how long have you bin driving again?

had this once, where i was following a women doing 50 in a 60 as soon as their was a straight safe road to overtake, as I was overtaking she sped upto around 70/75 to make a point of me ovetaking?? Women drivers are the worst, least you know what to expect with men in bigger cars ( being dicks) and chavs (also being dicks), women are so unpredictable.
