4x4 drivers that insist on not following tight corners but..

[nocarsgo]

..instead cut straight over the middle of the road and force you to nearly mount the kerb! Its getting worse and worse!

[DennisTheMenace]

Not 4x4 drivers at all, Its every lazy arsed mong that somehow managed to rack up enough iq for an hour to pass the driving test.

I cut this corner yesterday & ended up in the mud......

I tend to meet these lazy arsed mongs when I'm waiting to turn right out of a junction that they're turning right into. Instead of getting on with the job they try and flash me to go out, because they can't be arsed to turn the steering wheel enough to make the turn without cutting onto my side of the road.

It's nearly as bad as the idiots who have to swing a huge arc to the right to turn left, as if they have a massive invisible trailer.

st driving is the norm in this country today.

I have to do that to get into the lane behind my house which is the only way to get to the driveway.

Mind you the lane is 300 years old, not designed for cars and some mong who lives on the corner has narrowed it further by putting flower pots along their side wall.

Or they turn into your road looking at you like you just annaly buggered their newborn because you made them drive correctly rather than cutting the corner. Really fks me off, but driving seems to generally be getting worse in this country.

There's possibly two sides to this though. I'm by no means a fan of faux x faux's - or their drivers, but they probably see you as an 'Oh FFS!' moment when you don't respond to their alleged kindness for flashing you out. Even though, as the OP says, it's usually to mask their own laziness.

They're usually so far up their own arses though, this doesn't properly register with them. All in my opinion of course.

I see this "corner cutting" more and more now on B roads in all cars, and i think modern cars are to blame! They are so quiet and refined and offer so little steering feel or feedback that the average driver now goes too fast down narrow roads, so when they meet someone coming the other way, or a corner that was tighter than expected they don't know "where they are" in the dynamic envelope, and the temptation is to turn in V early and cut the corner, whereas in most cases there actually is plenty of lateral G left to take a normal line, even at the speed they were going!

4x4 drivers also seem to be the main culprit in blocking the lane of traffic when they want to turn right out of a side road across a busy road.

I guess they think because they're big they can stop traffic instead of waiting for a gap in both directions.

Happened to me yesterday. Deepest suburbia, driving around a bend to meet a Discovery completely on the wrong side of the road. Was mildly amusing to watch vehicle (and driver) wobbling out of the way.

This is why we need to start driving with HD cameras in our cars... record the cretinous footage and get a web-library of st drivers and their number plates, with related footage.

Would be fairly amusing, and maybe useful for DWDCAT or DD prosecutions in some cases!?

Following an Audi Q7 along a country road last week she had to have her wing mirrors folded and she still had to slow down for oncoming traffic and creep past. You get the same in surburbia as well when going passed parked cars etc, they are just too big for a lot of British roads.

Nooooo.....

From what i've seen so far the driving of those filming themselves is the worst.

And as for websites and number plates - we've had them and the sites were inhabited by complete no-life nutters.

Scandinavian flick?

[nocarsgo]

im glad this pisses other people off. I drive for a living and has pages and pages of road rage moments.

[jmorgan]

I notice many have the ability without a 4be4 to do the same. Think its the inability to understand how the steering works.

[Snails]

I watched a 4x4 almost obilterate a car small Kia on a roundabout on the dual carriageway the other day. The 4x4 was in lane 1 and the Kia in lane 2, both were going straight over. The 4x4 drifted from lane 1 and by the time it reached the 'apex' on the roundabout it was almost entirely in lane 2. The Kia drive had to brake hard to avoid a collision. The 4x4 carried on without a care in the world. I see it all the time and it's not just 4x4s
