People who pull up in a queue of traffic leaving a big gap in front of them, then slowly creep forward once you've stopped behind them - why?
If its a quiet/poorly sighted fast A road/Motorway this is what everybody should be doing.Have you watched the motorway cops episode where the pug 206 was squashed between 2 lorries to less than 3ft in total length, killing all occupants?

I thought it was just me. THIS boils my piss!!!you leave it, you leave it, you leave it and think no, i aint taking the handbrake off, putting it into gear just to move 3 inches just because you couldn't judge the gap/couldn't be bothered/are an ass.
Then the gap gets big enough for a car so you have to play their evil and selfish game.
Tier 3 - All Bradford Taxis
Tier 3 - All Motorway lane hogs including and especially 50MPH limit areas where said hog sits in the outside at 47MPH
Tier 2 - Anyone who puts a deposit on a Nissan Note
Tier 3 - My ex In-Laws the worst drivers on earth
Tier 3 - Anyone who uses the hard shoulder of the motorway to beat traffic (see M62 J27 Eastbound most weekday mornings - Young Asian Gentleman in 52 plate Blue Scooby with Nurburgring sticker on your boot...im looking at you....and have done many times)
Tier 2 - Anyone who does not pay attention to and or ignores the cross box on a road, they are there for a reason!

Poor awareness of anything other than themselves which results in poor positioning when waiting to turn, not indicating, driving inexplicably slow, taking wide passes at parked cars/cyclists (and we're talking double car width gaps), hesitation, nervousness, lack of control/appreciation of your car.
All banned!
Would empty the roads overnight

In a similar vein - people who don't seem to understand that they're allowed to enter the box at a traffic-light controlled box-junction if the only thing stopping them from leaving it is traffic on the same light phase as them going in the opposite direction. I think that one should probably be a tier-1 because they presumably just need to be educated as to how such junctions work. VictoriaYorks said:

Probably because you (like most drivers) do not understand what "adequate clearance" means and why you should leave such clearance?People who stop at the end of a slip road.
People who use the horn to say hello or goodbye to the people they are visiting.
People who drive down single track roads faster than the speed at which they could safety stop in half the road they can see to be clear.
Anyone playing music loud enough that it can be heard outside.
Anyone who isn't sitting in this chair right now.

It's not the gap that bothers me, either leave a gap or don't, it's the slow creeping forward that's annoyingSo, the one in front leaves room to move away from almost touching bumpers.
I don't know why so many drivers insist on getting as close as possible to the car in front.
I often flash up my reverse lights when they do this (good job my lights are high at the rear)!

- Make yourself more visible and sooner to following traffic, particularly if the queue starts near a bend or blind brow.
- Give yourself room to create a little extra stopping distance for the car behind if needed.
- Give yourself room to get out of the way if the car behind is clearly not going to stop in time.
Coincidentally, shortly after I did this course, my in-laws were nearly killed on the M40 when a lorry driver who was more preoccupied with texting his wife than looking at the road, failed to see the traffic queue they were at the back of and ploughed into their car at about 40 mph. My father-in-law saw it coming in his rear view mirror a good 2-3 seconds before impact, but had nowhere to go. This tactic could have saved a lengthy hospital stay, a written off car, and a painfully long insurance claim process that dragged on for 2 years.
When the car behind has stopped, there is no longer a need for the gap, so you close it. Creeping is preferable to lurching forward and anchoring up sharply, surely.
It's something I always do.

Tier 3.
Using the left lane to queue jump when turning right.
The opposite of this for left too!
Does this include being clever and using the right hand land to go all the way around a roundabout and then exit on to the lane that the left hand lane is for?Using the left lane to queue jump when turning right.
The opposite of this for left too!
I think people who do that should be rewarded for using their initiative.

On a more serious note, anyone who flashes their lights after being overtaken is a permanent ban.
We need a further level of punishment for those who speed up, swerve, or otherwise attempt to prevent you from overtaking, because tier three is too good for them. On a more serious note, anyone who flashes their lights after being overtaken is a permanent ban.
Tier four. Kick in the b
ks and a permanent ban.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
