11 words: people who drive with their side lights and fog lights on!

And also, people who ride 40mph scooters around on national speed limit roads mad They're for cities and towns, not the countryside!

People who are so crap at driving or have such a slow car they can't manage to overtake a scooter.

Im sure that on a national speed limited road, you should be able to pass one without too much difficulty surely?

The age old 'its a limit, not a target' arguement will no doubt rear its head, but if yo ucant get past one of these, you need serious help.

Today I was waiting at a junction and had a police car behind me. A mitsubishi animal pickup came over the junction towards us, must have missed the police car (white 307 with no graphics on but the word 'police' on the front) and the immediately overtook 4 cars. Looked quite dangerous to me, was quite busy and wasnt effortless as those pickups are close to the slowest thing on the road these days.

In the rear view mirror I see the officers spot what has happened and begin to try turning around, 3 point turn etc. Being infront I get close to the car infront of me to allow them more room. But they give up. I can see that the officer in the passenger seat is getting a bit angry that the officer driving is clearly lacking in skills. So they just continue behind me once the lights turn green.

guy in animal - lucky knob

officer driving - useless knob




oh the officer driving was of the female type. Just stating the facts, nothing more hehe
The officer should have put her lights and woo-woo's on so you could legally jump the red light to get out of the way. cop

Jumping red lights isn't legal, even if there's a cop car behind you with the "woo-woo's" on, IIRC.
You do RC

What about the copper that jumped the red light going across a junction in his tin pot Astra forcing the whole of the 4 lane Wandsworth green traffic to stand on it's bracks!
Me with a 2 ton trailer behind couldn't stop quick enough and nudged the car in front.
Copper pulls up outside the Arndale Center and strolls through the door.

Fecking grosser nob 1, NCB 0, nobste!

I'm quite sure you won't appreciate this answer, but if you couldn't stop in time, you were driving too close paperbag
True, but we were all accelerating in first, max power, 130 bhp and big trailer, it was a no hoper!

He's still a nob smile.

People who say "brought" when they mean "bought" and vice-versa.

People who refer to their cars as their "pride & joy".

People who refer to the plural of focus as "foci", lotus as "loti" etc.

Getting past them is not a problem. But it does usually take a while to find a over taking point without something coming the other way frown

On the vast majority of the roads I use, 60mph wouldn't be deemed unsafe. Going 40mph would certainly be unsafe in my view, going excessively slowly on a fast road could be just as dangerous as going excessively fast on a slow road.

People who indicate right before a roundabout then go straight on.
They have no intention of turning right but do it as if taught by an instructor!

What's that all about?
That really pisses me off too!
this happened to me today - it was a mini-roundabout so there was just enough time for me to mouth "what the fk are you doing?" - which was met with a vacant glance from the woman driving a small car

on the door-ding thing, I wonder whether it would actually be cheaper rather than to continue to repair my doors, to upgrade my supermarket in order to avoid the mums, scums and greys that tt my doors with their fking children or disability apparatus or their bd council estate careless lives. That said, I got valet parked at a conference at a hotel and they handed it back dinged on both sides - they have agreed to pay after I turned into a tasmanian devil. I once had a previous car parked at a paint bodyshop to get a quote for a door ding, whereupon some old fking waste of false teeth parked up next to me (when there was no need due to other spaces) and dinged my fking door. I know you are meant to respect your elders but I didn't on that day.

Stop hiding behind the excuse of merging in turn being the correct thing to do, when infact all you want to do is get through the road works quicker than you would otherwise do if you stayed the 21st person back by either queing in one lane or queing in two lanes
Do you join the longest queue at the supermarket?

If everyone joins the shorter queue and merges in turn you get two shorter queues and a freer flowing pinch point. Fact.

Indeed. Think there was a thread about this recently where someone from road planning stepped and reinforced this exact point.
