Poor driving, are people on a death wish?
Discussion
Ths morning I was driving my 5 and 3 year olds to School and couldn't believe the driving I witnessed.
A woman in a Corsa decided that 30 mph through a village was far too slow and was weaving behind me and kissing my bumper. Go over some speedbumps in a 30 zone and she decides that it would be a good idea to overtake at this point and then veer in front of me to miss a central reservation and bollard. We come up to a roundabout and she indicates left, pulls out into a 40 tonne truck entering the roundabout to her right. Then decides to cross a junction which is not clear making another vehicle slam their brakes on to miss her. All these driving skills on a half mile stretch. She was in a new car and in a business suit and would appear that she needed to be somewhere quickly and not have any respect for other road users and thinks that she is bulletproof against a 40 tonne truck.
Pure and utter madness!!

Meh, she'll be dead soon.
What if she takes someone from your family with her? Not quite so 'meh' then perhaps?
. You never know the circumstances though I guess, something may have happened that was more important to her than road discipline.Vee said:

At the risk of detracting from the OP, WTF does that mean ???t.Urban Dictionary
Try Norwich and North Norfolk at rush hour (or any time really). I'm fairly sure the entire county needs to be given a copy of the highway code and to resit their driving test, the driving standard here is abysmal.
-Indicating appears to be entirely optional, whether it is correct or not
-Speed limits are generally ignored (either going to fast or to slowly)
-Tailgating is rife (and really annoys me)
-We have the whole foglights on when not needed/no lights when dark mentality
-Pulling out of junctions without allowing enough room to accelerate to an appropriate speed causing those cruising to way-anchor with much flashing/horn etc. usually followed by a quick flash of the hazards - if you know you cant make if why fing bother!!!!
-Random lane changes to get 1 car ahead (usually involving chevroned areas for right turns and such)
-The list goes on...
