All the cretins on the A303 last night who seemed to think that main beams didn't affect anyone else on the road. "I shall light up all the things, and thus shall everyone verily be thankful"

My eyes, they are burning. Well, not literally, obviously ...
Was exactly the same on Friday night as I returned to Devon - perhaps an epidemic of poor sighted souls ?

People who, when realising they are in the wrong lane at a roundabout, cut across a few lanes and cause havoc just to make their desired exit rather than lap the roundabout and sort it all out in a safe and orderly manner.

The total knobjockey who parked his Golf on the zigzag lines at a pedestrian crossing, about 8 feet from the crossing itself, so he could park right outside the front door of the house he was visiting to collect something. Then had the audacity to call a person who remonstrated with him (it wasn't me) a tosser. What an utterly selfish, self centred f*&^tard.

An effortless Grade 8 on the pink clarinet.

The young bloke in the C63 AMG who overtook 3 cars in a 30mph residential street yesterday, causing the driver of the Volvo coming the other way to swerve to avoid a head on. The knob then cut up the last car in the overtake to dive into a parking bay, but didn't park straight , so cars had to drive round him.rolleyes As he went to get out he nearly got run over / his door taken off by a bus as he was glued to his bloody I-Phone!!! tt!

The person driving their car at 60mph in the middle lane of the A12 & the A13 with completely fogged up windows.

Sorry did I say person, it seems like it was every other bloody car for the last week.

All of the "The law is the law" knobheads on this thread. In fact, make that anyone who claims to be a performance car enthusiast that then criticises others for a spirited drive in the countryside. Which website are we on FFS? irked
wobble Not long ago before I was familiar with the site I made a grievous error in a thread on the Advanced Driving forum by posting a comment supporting the use of multiple vehicle controls simultaneously (smoothly combining braking/gear changing) due to being baffled by the very negative overall sentiment towards heel and toeing which was basically being branded as an unsafe/irresponsible racing driver technique not applicable for road use. Didn't realise at the time what that forum was about... Oops hehe.

..."advanced driving". I think the only "advanced" thing about some posters is the stage of their old git syndrome.

Me. Earlier. Tesco was heaving and I saw a woman about to reverse out of a space, so I let the old dear out (which took an age) I then went to reverse into the space, which was on the right hand side rather than the left, and completely fluffed my line up so abandoned and went to the next one, again on the right, and again did the same thing.

I felt such a bellend I hand to just drive away and find another space, which I got into without an issue. Honestly that never normally happens that I manage to cack up the simple act of parking that badly!

Inside the shop was heaving, people were dithering and getting in the way, and I felt like a caged animal. I was glad to get out. Perhaps my failed parking was a sign!

A little icy out this morning so were people taking extra care? No from four in the morning onward clutch dumpers weaving up and down the road like Gwyndaf Evans leaving the road extra polished for the next person who was being careful to clip some road furniture.

And the Daily Sport reading, knuckle dragging; letterbox driver in the petrol station this morning didn't understand why I asked if he had a "H" on his drivers licence. wink

To be fair, many of the larger RB's have very confusing road markings. There are two in Nottingham that put the 4th exit drivers in the right hand lane. So it's a careful crossover to the left side or a complete go-around.

This. I can't stand being stuck behind people dithering along the vegetable aisle oggling the sprouts when I could be doing twice their speed on my way to the meat aisle. Pistonheads: Speed matters.

I like "drifting" around them with my trolley, Tokyo-drift style biggrinpaperbag

Me. When I went into a spin at 5mph. But my hero status returned when the result was a perfect 180. This guy wasn't so lucky. He only managed a 120 smile



We spent the next hour getting him out.

A couple of idiots tonight on the way home from Waitrose...

M155 ASP - a 2004 blue BMW Compact (2 litre diesel).
Miss ASP living up to her name. By getting out onto the two roundabouts we passed 'ASP'. Which meant (twice) ignoring the traffic already on the roundabouts and cutting across their paths. Total idiocy, you silly tart. Chances are you aren't going to get hit, but someone else will be driven (literally) to stuffing it up because you caused them to brake hard on a constant radius turn in icy conditions (yes, it was -2°C and there was a frost already forming when I got into my car at 1730hrs... tongue out



R33D SA - a 2009 grey Jaguar XF (3 litre diesel V6).
You. Yes you, you 'woman of a certain age', you. You and your white blonde 'up do', and what appeared to be a fur coat. Apart from the modern Jag, I might have started having '70s sitcom cliché flashbacks. None of that was what annoyed me, though. I fking HATE "creepers". You know the ones. They're to your right at a roundabout entry, the staggered type, whereby if both of you stop at the white line, you can both see plenty well enough into the roundabout. Only the car to your right cannot seem to operate a simple hand brake, and keeps creeping forward, cutting off any chance of you seeing what's coming and moving away in good time. To then decide that you need to drift across my 'bows' into lane 1 ahead of me, with absolutely no warning, causing me (and the two cars behind me) to brake hard in avoidance? Proof of your idiocy, confirmed minutes later when I moved to lane two to turn right, only to see your middle finger raised in my direction through your side window. Do me a favour, you old boiler? Stick the damned finger in your eye, or wherever else you think it might fit. irked

I'm afraid if you'd asked me that I'd have had no idea what you were talking about either, and would probably have assumed you were mental.

Class 'H' - vehicles steered only by their tracks. Tanks. As in 'driving along with only a small cleared "slot" in the windscreen'.

See also "I think you're lost, pal. Poland is that way >>>"

Probably means more to folk who know what class 'H' is, or losers like me, who needed it to drive a "company car"... getmecoat
