Those with grey cars in heavy rain on the motorway with no bloody lights on.

Are people that thick? Really? Do they walk around with their eyes closed too??

Absolutely mental driving yesterday, cars with no lights on at 4:30 on the M6, black cab on the M6 with lights on but so dim you couldn't tell until you were passing it (no reflectors either?) loads of people just diving out on to roundabouts only to crawl round at snails pace, girl in Mini pulling out of a side road with no indicators so I had nooo idea if I could cross or not and doing so veery slowly.
But by far the worst was the Mini on M6 J2 roundabout, was the only car in the inside lane at some lights, decided they needed to be in the other lane so tried to reverse to the back of the 3 or 4 cars in the next lane, as I was pulling up behind them, just as the lights were going green, realising this wasn't going to work, tried to force their way into the next lane and were promptly told where to go, between myself and the car they tried to push in front of leaning on our horns the stupid ccensoredt finally caught on, got through the lights before their stupidly short green period was over and finally decided to go around the fcensoredking roundabout. Brafcensoredkingvo. I'm all for care in the community, but do we have to let them drive?
One thing that made me happy though, heading out on the M6 at around 10:30 there was a biblical rain shower, spray on that stretch is f**king disgusting. White A3 cabriolet in front was literally 3ft from the next car, kept braking, but the Q7 behind me left a perfect gap thumbup

This guy who didnt like me cycling along the road who decided to cut me up so badly that he mounted the curb.

I'd report that one to the police, he's going to kill someone someday.
+1 He will kill or seriously injure someone soon with that kind of deliberate action. He is using his car as weapon but thanks to the laws in this country it will be a wrist slap for causing death by dangerous driving instead of Vehicular Homicide.

In the past I have been criticised for suggesting some drivers need to be arrested for attempted murder. From the looks of it you have it on video and have taken a still from it. Be sure to post it on YouTube and place it on your local Police Service Facebook page and local press if that doesn't work.

Two Honda Civic's one standard Optimus Prime Helmet edition Type R and one Barry'd silver Civic C with a matte black tailgate, purple anodised lower rear subframe brace, cheap nasty back box, poorly fitted tyres, no suspension travel and small stuffed toy hanging off the rear tow hoop.

Along the 30 and 40 zones despite oncoming traffic both cars took "racing lines" around corners the Barry Boy nearly colliding head on two occasions. Get to the 60 zone and both sit at 45mph. A white van pulls out about a quarter of a mile in front of us and the Civics both blast their horns and tailgate through the next thirty zone.

The Type R pulls into a pub car park and the van pulls into the car park outside a shop. Despite having an exhaust that's about as discrete as a concrete tampon the Barry'd Civic takes off in the 30 zone, has to lock up to take the next corner (without signaling and only one brake light), about an eighth of a mile ahead of me he takes the next turn. When I get to that turn he's gone the length of a quarter mile straight bit so must have been doing at least 60 in the 30 zone (speed is distance over time I was doing 30 and Barry Boy covered twice the distance in the same time so therefore a minimum of twice my speed).

Don't worry. You can still tell everyone about the F1 technology in your Evora over a lovely glass of Rose, nobody will bat an eyelid.

The driver's of the M5 and A Class AMG who decided to use rain sodden and busy A421 as their own personal racetrack this afternoon. Not only were they tailgating each other and other road users in heavy rain and spray. They compounded the knobbery when the C Class attempted a high speed undertake of the M5, just as it was preparing to do the same thing!
I'm not sure how there wasn't a massive accident, but I hopefully it taught them a lesson? confused

Also a mention to the driver of the Nissan Navara, who showed his excellent driving skills by performing a high speed and last minute dash from lane 2 to enter the slip road. He proceeded over the hatchings, then cut me and a Focus up by undertaking us, before nearly t-boning an unsuspecting mum in a Citreon Xsara who was approaching from his right.

Extra knob points for his illegal number plate, tints and massive Gangsta' alloys.rolleyes

The bloke in the white Juke yesterday who decided to put his foot down and rush over a level crossing when he saw me looking to cross the road.

I was more than happy to wait for him to pass, but the scraping, crunching noise as his car bottomed out rising out of the 'dip' of the level crossing made it entirely worth my while. hehe

Now I'm really confused. My Evora didn't have any any F1 technology. The only thing it had in common with the Lotus F1 team was the badge on the nose.

Golf drivers.

It may be only only my commute, and I have no explnation for it, but I have learned to be very wary of Golfs due to aggressive behaviour.

Some other marques often stand out for a 'me first, me first' pseudo-Alpha male attitude, but not often agressive or dangerous.

Golfs, however eek

S'funny. I drove about 200 miles in abysmal conditions on Saturday afternoon/evening. The only cars that were noticably tailgating, undertaking or otherwise driving uber-aggressively were Golfs and Passats. The new ones with the video game rear lights. It was as if driving was a challenge, and they had to beat everyone else on the road.

BMW Z4 this morning, heading down the A325 from Frimley to Farnborough.

Straight-lined the Frimley roundabout from the right hand "right turn only" approach lane at (conservative guesstimate) 50mph. Speed limit is 30mph and the temperature was down at 0 degrees C, with the frost warning light on in the dash display.

From there, he accelerated down the (40mph limit) short dual carriageway section, briefly tailgated a car that was in lane two before 'undertaking' it at speed. Then he disappeared from view briefly. As I approached the Farnborough Gate roundabout, I had to stop for the pedestrian crossing lights, but even after driving the entire stretch at or below the posted limit, and stopping for the ped. crossing, I still rolled up to the roundabout level with this plank. I gave him a cheery wave, but he steadfastly refused to look across. Being in the right hand lane (correctly, for I wanted the third exit) meant I got onto the roundabout slightly ahead of him, which I think pissed him off by preventing him from straightlining that roundabout too. He was last seen tailgating the car ahead up toward Farnborough.

I'm hoping that when he stacks his "ultimate driving machine" backwards into a ditch, that he involves no-one else in his fkwittery. It wasn't so much the speed or line selection that was dangerous. The road can be driven at quite high speeds safely enough. What pissed me off, and made me think "Knob!" was the fact that there was plenty of traffic around, and the temperature was low enough to have delivered a sharp frost overnight. So, Mr Z4, it was neither the time, nor the place, for those kind of antics. Especially as driving (as I was) as if Miss Daisy herself were in the back, would have delivered you to the exact same time and place on the road as your inappropriate idiocy did.
