The tt who thought it would be a good idea to join rush hour traffic in exeter driving a massive tractor with an equally massive trailer attached to it causing near gridlock through exwick.
Why do you think the driver shouldn't have been there, is your journey more important than theirs?

yes

Kuro also wants some compen-say-shun for his trauma.

Had a girl in a dark grey fiesta driving with no lights on , pull in behind her and give her a quick flash.... nothing.
Tried again, quick flash then turned my lights on and off to try and give her the message, still didn't get through to her what it was.
Road I was on then turned in to a dual carriageway, flew up beside her and she sticks the middle finger up at me as I get level then mouths a load of abuse while the window is up. I just smiled then pulled away

Had to laugh,some people are just oblivious to the world around them.

My work colleagues driving.

It's a superb mix of being utterly ste and dangerous at the same time.

Drives way too close to the car in front, regardless of what car it is. I can read the dealer name off the plate we are that close.
Has no ability to maintain steady throttle, very jerky and stamps the brakes.
Drives at 40+mph in 30 zones.
Hardly uses his indicators.
Uses mobile while driving, at lights, while driving in town or on motorway.
Will tailgate cars in front if they are driving too slowly in NSL zones, but won't overtake as he's got some fking miserable i10 shopping trolley of a car that has no power.

He's the only driver that can make me car sick.
He is basically, that driver we all hate and has so many bad habits it's shocking.

The fact he's trying to get in to the Police is concerning as hes a miserable short arse with an attitude problem..

I know quite a few people who became Police officers in the early noughties who I wouldn't believe if they told me the Pope is a Catholic.

Very scary.

does he have multiple siblings with the same problem ? if so i believe i saw him ,and at least two dozen of his siblings on the roads today. either that or they were all drunk/on the phone/had broken indicators.

The driver of a black astra that lives down the road from me.
Hammers down the road at double the speed limit and proceeds to sit so far off my ass i can see her facial hair.
Every time I see her.

Perhaps she finds you strangely attractive....

Not sure if it's been mentioned on here before, but I'm guessing it probably has.

Drivers, who insist on sticking to one speed limit. Going 40MPH in a national speed section, come to a 30MPH village, still doing sodding 40MPH!!

Mine is this, probably discussed many a time.

Drivers who swing out to go around a corner. There really is usually no need.

For example...left hand turning coming up, driver indicates (or doesn't) and swings out to the right, then goes left.

Perhaps years ago when larger cars needed multiple turns and a wide berth to get around.

Some older drivers probably do it out of habit..

But then when you see Gaz doing it in his 'Limited Edition' Corsa...you know they're just s.

Twot in some nippon special today pulls out from car park slip road and bimlbes along the small DC to the lights. Drivers mirror folded in!!!!
Get level with him toot and point no reaction

Next set of lights give him another heads up.nothing

wind down pax window and shout your mirrors folded in get the dumbarse look back
Ask him did he get his licence from Kelloggs. still dumbarse expression

conclusion he doesnt understand english, simple sign language, or lives in Bracknell

mind you goihn off my 'home' roundabout indicating left. Goon from the precededing entry decides to pullout in front BUT wasnt even looking in my direction, however idiot alert had already kicked in so i was slowing down ,as my nose was approaching his side door i let him know i was there via horn. to say he shat himself could well be an understatement, BUT to his credit, the amount of SORRY waves put him in my good books, i just pointed towrds my eys and he nodded like churchills dog. Possibly a lesson learned there for him,but the other nutter, he will find out the hard way when he pulls out and then finds he cannot see what has hit him!!

Good luck in your ongoing quest to make idiots unfold their mirrors....^^^^^^

I see plenty with both folded because they don't know how to use them anyway.

Out on foot earlier and saw a knob.

New Fiesta hoots at a Zafira that left it late to indicate right or something.
Well,Fiesta bloke,try turning your lights on properly as the rear had none ,presumably on DRLs only.

This must the first time in this thread that a Zafira has been mentioned but the Zafira wasn't the knob of the story eek

Two tonight n M25.

First was some fat woman in an Astra sat in L3 of 4 at about 65 mph who kept indicating to pull over but never managed it!

Second was another woman in a Puke Green Fiat 500 who was tootling along quite correctly in L1 at about 60 mph who decided to pull into L2 after I'd overtaken & returned to L1 & obviously didn't speed up, she just got further behind me!!
