The worst driver on the road is undoubtedly the woman in the purpley red Vauxhall Mokka X I end up following to work 1 or 2 times a week, she usually pulls out before me shortly after leaving home in Leeds and turns off just before my work in Harrogate

Constantly bouncing off kerbs, swerving onto the other side of the road on almost any corner, can't just choose a speed and stick to it, doesn't seem to understand indicators or rights of ways at junctions

It's so bad its almost comical at this point

Amazon Prime delivery drivers, 6 month old Mercedes Sprinter vans with not a single straight panel on them. How?
Have you seen how they load the vans? The dents are from the INSIDE!

Yes, they drop back from the traffic when it's more than 40, but then aggressively tailgate when they catch up in a slower limit or during hazards with their head looking like it's about to explode because traffic is slower than them wink

No awareness of dangers and the appropriateness of speed for the conditions. Just one set speed everywhere.
Yep, monospeeders proving yet again that Douglas Adams was right, 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything. Unfortunately it's 42mph.

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.

How have DPD drivers not been mentioned yet? Psychopaths to a man (or woman).

I’m with you on this. I used to enjoy driving in London but the aggression from the cab drivers has made it highly unpleasant. At times it seems like half the cars on the road are Prius.

I’ll also throw SUV drivers in as well. Often equally aggressive as cab drivers.
Mini cab drivers are the worst drivers end of conversation. 50 mph on the motorway, don’t have indicators, generally drive erratically. Loads round here (North Manchester) have Wolverhampton plates which looks dodgy to me.

They are bad enough but in Bolton they are even worse but they probably share a driving licence as well as the Prius.

When I lived near Lancaster, that was standard;

Piddly little village, where you cannot see the road very far ahead: 40

Long straight road, see for ever, you could hit 200 on it : 40

The French bloke who overtook me alongside his slip road, carved me up and then shouted at me today because he failed to plan appropriately whilst I was doing a constant speed.

If you live in North Norfolk, keep well clear of a Mystic Purple Viva.

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.

I am finding more and more it is not just how people drive, but how they park. Have a long, yellow lined road on my way home, most people park on their drives but at the only sweeping bend in this long road you get a bunch of cars blocking the bend - you cannot see if the road ahead is clear until you are well committed to the bend.

Same on the next turning, nice and empty road but then 3-4 cars parked right on the T junction, again meaning as you pass them if a car turns into this junction, it is squeaky bum time. This one clown parks his van just 5 feet from the junction, making it nigh on impossible to get into position if, like me, you then want to turn right.

school run parents.

Parking on double yellows
Blocking people's driveways
Refusing to park more than 4mm from there school entrance

My neighbour challenged one and was accused of being racist. The woman was Jewish. He is Jewish and looks more Jewish than David Baddiel with 15 yamaka on his head!

Driving instructors, on their way to pick up a 'student'.
One that I followed today would have had 3 advisories in the space of 400 yards - and would have probably failed their test.

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.

Easier to get a taxi driver permit from Wolverhampton Council. They’re also not going to be checked by Wolverhampton Council if they’re up in Manchester.
