People in estate cars are usually twats and dont think they have to follow the same rules as everyone else (same for 4x4's)
people who cant go in the lane they are supposed to be and then cut in at the front of the queue.
tailgaters.
people who drive fast for no reason and then slam on at traffic lights, and end up getting in the same place at the same time as everyone else. waste of petrol if you ask me.
people who cant do a start on a hill without rolling back 10mtrs.
there are loads more, then usually get a bit of shouting and swearing from me, but i wouldnt class it as road rage, i dont want to kill them or attack them, well maybe slightly.
i usually just think well i guess its not affecting me so not to get bothered, and it usually passes.
90% of my driving is on the motorway and it annoys me how many folk dont actually know how to drive on a motorway.
the other day i got really pissed off at this big group of scallies just casually walking across the road (on a big main road at a busy time) making everyone stop for them, i was like URGHHH move out of the way! i felt like running one over to teach them a lesson hahaha then i got a bit worried at how pissed off I was.
I'm quite prone to sticking two fingers up at people who drive right behind me as well, i'm probably gonna get beat up one day. lol.
My latest irritation was a bloke last night, doing 30mph down a 60mph road... fair enough if he didn't know the road, but I do, so whenever I found somewhere safe enough to overtake he shifted over and blocked both sides of the road so I couldn't get past!
Argh he annoyed me.
LOOL how can you not know how to drive on a motorway
it does involve different techniques and rules, the amount of people that refer to the 3rd lane as "the fast lane" is astonishing.
I get VERY angry at:
People who don't indicate coming off a busy roundabout which stops me from going
People who drive slowly in the overtaking lane when they are clearly overtaking NO-ONE (clue's in the name idiots) either forcing me to undertake, or drive slowly behind them going mental
When you're overtaking and some cock behind wants to continue their speed of 110mph so instead of waiting they drive so far up your ass you can see the pimples on their face. Assholes
People who pull out into the fast lane going up a long steep hill at 55mph for NO REASON and slow you down. Once slowed down my little KA cannot gain speed again so I'm forced to drive to the top at 40mph. Great :yeees:
To save time and effort I will conclude my list by including EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE ROAD EXCEPT ME as I am Amazing Driver 2007 and can do no wrong :angel:
I call it the fast lane It usually is!
I'm rarely in it though
(Mind I call the right hand lane of a dual carriageway the fast lane too)
People driving along in the middle lane instead of moving to the left.
People not using their mirrors.
Dont get me started, I'll be here all day
I mostly use the M4 from Cardiff to Carmarthen though which is usually quite quiet, especially after Swansea
it drives me mad when people drive unneccesarily slow.. or when they dont indicate at lights until they get right up to them so you get stuck behind .. people who cant use roundabouts properly .. CYCLISTS - im gonna run one over one day.. most old drivers .. i could go on and on im easily wound up! have no problem beepin the horn multiple times or shoutin abuse at someone for being stupid
I wonder who's going to be the first to say that what gives them road rage is women drivers...
95% of people on the road are complete twats and it is an utter mystery to me how the hell they passed their test.
I go to work on the M1, and without exaggeration someone nearly kills me almost every day :grump:
I haven't stalled once in the 2 years since I've passed - no word of a lie! I did get loads of practice before my test though.
Given I drive a van for work I get the god complex which many work drivers get
My van has no rear view mirror due to the great big box on the back of it, and the window level is higher up than the height of most cars - so has blind spots either side. This is why it annoys me when absolute morons undertake - or even those that decide just to sit in my blind spot rather than move behind me / into the right hand lane / wait.
As Koe says, people who call the third lane on the motorway 'the fast lane' need to have a read up on motorway lane selection rules.
People who tailgate - I like to play the random braking game - by downgearing and engine braking so no brake lights come on. More often than not they get the shock of their life and keep a decent distance afterward.
People who drive with their fog lights on all year round should have their licences revoked. As should those mongs who drive down sections of unlit motorway with their fog lights on - you might not realise it in dream land, but you're dazzling everyone driving on the opposite side of the motorway, everyone in front of you etc. If you need your fog lights on to drive down unlit motorway, you aren't a competent driver.
And there should be a national TV campaign teaching the 40% of dickheads on our roads what this sign actually means:
Tip: If you don't know what it is, I probably hate you.
One of them hit the back of my van on the M60 the other day! haha, no damage at all to my van, her bumper was rather ruined She said 'I don't know how it happened!' haha.
Crashing into the back of people and reversing into posts is what women do best. Major collisions with serious injury/loss of life is what men do best. I'm sure someone posted the statistic on here once that women have more accidents, but men's accidents tend to be more serious.
you mean a woman?
In my experience on the road, shit drivers are pretty equally split between men and women.
Yes, 'one of them'.
I don't tend to keep mental statistics discriminating on gender of my experiences on the road, but I do know I've never heard of a man reversing into a post, whereas my mum has done this a couple of times, my sister has both reversed into a bollard and parallel parked into a lorry, another friend reversed into a car.... I could go on
:yes:
I've noticed a difference between them, though. Bad men drivers tend to speed, cut you up, tailgate and generally drive like cocks. Bad women drivers tend to be paying more attention to their make-up, phone conversation, snacks or pretty much anything than to the road.
if they are overtaking and going 60mph they are not really doing much wrong as long as they move back across once finished.
same as getting in the way in supermarkets on saturdays or at lunch times.
tut tut, gotta love em tho!
yeah that is annoying, but its what you touched on earlier, workers in vans/lorry have the god complex, and they probably dont care that they are annoying everyone! :thumb:
yes
