The moron in some ghastly Vauxhall EV sitting a yard off my back end last night trying to convince me his crashing-in-value milk float merited any attention whatsoever.
You saw it though hehe

You are aware of an invention called the rear view mirror?

Years past there was this old woman who drove around in an Allegro...nothing unusual about that you would think, but in first gear everywhere..!!!

Anybody with a baby on board sticker, or come to think of it any sticker at all, in the rear window.


Amazon drivers are a great watch. Even a Veyron wouldn't see which way they went.
Are you aware why people have these stickers on the back of their cars?

Overtook a Tesla , seemed upset a 1k car overtook them and flashed me loads, even though no one put in danger.
Was a bit maniac tbh .

No it's because they might get distracted by the baby/child onboard hitting them with a plastic hammer and might apply the brakes a bit suddenly. So don't drive up their arse.

I bet there's more to this than you're letting on or you realise. For someone to shout at you, you must have been getting in their way for some time. Were you driving too slowly in a place where they couldn't overtake?

Van drivers. Doesn't matter what type of van.

This morning, I'm in lane 1 and van driving dip st in lane 2. Both stationary at red light. Lights go green and we both pull away at the same rate. He then apparently doesn't see me and forces me to take avoiding action onto the grass verge as I brake and blast the horn - van veers right, somehow surprised that I'm alongside. As I get back onto the black stuff, I look over at him and mouth 'wtf?!' as well as pointing at his mirrors to check them. What does he do? Blasts the horn and gives me the finger!

fking cretins on the roads here in Norfolk. Nobody indicates, has lane discipline, checks their mirrors or can seemingly navigate a roundabout. It's not rocket science....is it?!

Rant over.

Renault Kadjars. No idea why but they seem to attract loons.

HGV/LGV drivers. Frankly the standard we accept for someone in charge of 40 tons at 60mph is far far too low. Hence the dangerously aggressive fkwittery from a significant number of them.

As well as n over-inflated sense of their own "ability" one sign of a really bad driver is arrogance, impatience, and intolerance towards others.

100% no. I was the middle in a group of three cars overtaking closely stacked HGVs. Moved in as soon as I was past the lead HGV behind the car in front. Car behind me moved in behind me, Mr Angry swept past the back car, and then chopped across my bow.

I do more miles in Europe than I do in the UK. My lane discipline, I'm proud to say, is very good. I even asked my passenger if she had any idea what the shouting was about. She didn't know either.

He was just a dick. They exist.

So I'm careful not to crash into them because I definitely would if they didn't have the sticker.

I know it's a trope but BWM drivers.

90% of time times someone pulls out on me, pulls a sketchy overtake, parks like a throbber it's a BMW.

It's probably me. I think I'm quite decent as drivers go, and we all know what that means. Those who think they are decent are pretty awful. I also own two BMWs among others. So yeah.

Beware!!

S3 in Oxford st / Marylebone yesterday

Loud exhaust. 0-30mph in 2 seconds, then dead stop at next light.

I think you might need a nicer car to get (positive) attention in that part of London mate! 911 is a shopping car there.

Nice that you can arrive at a synthesis position; BOB signs imply an elevated likelihood of bad driving.

I have 2 BMWs as well, and 90% of the time someone pulls out in front of me, pulls a sketchy overtake or parks like a throbber it isn't a BMW. laugh

Yeh, and my friend who drives a BMW drives like a good boy.... Besides for when he's drifting, in a rush, wants to show his car off etc etc.....
