    bad drivers

    I had a little trip today around the m25 to pick up some bits and came across 2 really bad drivers , most long trips there are bad drivers that stand out but today i was actually slightly shocked.

    idiot number 1 , i was in the outside lane in a queue of traffic following 10 odd cars all doing the same speed 75-90 sort of thing , cars in all other lanes . the nob behind me sits on my bumper ( 4 foot away) for some 2 odd miles , i did not pull over as i was keeping up with traffic and i will never be intimidated on the road to do anything. every time a slight gap in the lane next to me was slightly clear he tried to undertake , he failed 5 times over 8 miles trying to do this also bear in mind i was driving a 1.6 renault scenic so i could not be spitteful if i tried . bearing in mind that it was busy on the m25 , even if i had of let him go he would have sat behind the car in front of me as there was no where to go. he finally got past by going into lane 1 and using the hard shoulder to be stuck behind the car car 4 cars in front of me . well done nob head no 1.

    idiot number 2 , a proffesional driver of the coach variety . transporting 10 odd people to there holidays maybe as it was a stanstead airport coach.he was in lane 2 i was in lane 3 approaching from behind he had his right indicator on , obviously by mistake as i noticed it was on for over a minute with no one next to him . thought i would get his attention when i went past him and do the hole indicate left and right safely to make him aware, but that would have been pointless as in his left hand was a news paper resting on the wheel and his right was a pen that he was using to do i think the cross word . he was glancing up ever so often to make sure he did not crash and kill all his passengers so that was allright. i did beep my horn to get his attention and give him the universal merchant banker sign . what a penis .

    i am not the perfect driver but why blatantly put yourself and others at risk by driving like i c#nt.

    another thing that winds me up dave ...especially on motorways,is you leave yourself a nice big gap between yourself and the car in front(the old 2 second rule) and people think that they have a divine right to pull into that space.......

    This also gets my goat especially in heavy rain.
    The mighty Leedsnum has gone but the Airtrek mods will soon fill this space

    But they indicate right, which gives them right of way.

    (Just in case anyone is wondering, the sentence previous to this one could not be loaded with more irony if I tried.)

    Ah, but if you notice, the "I've indicated to let you know I'm coming regardless" brigade are usually people that don't ever indicate at junctions or roundabouts.

    You mean the 1's that go all the way round a roundabout with no indicators, then indicate to tell you where they've gone

    My favourite pet hate - people that signal after the maneuver. Slam your brakes on, then move right approaching a minor road on the right. Then indicate. Too late feckwit, I've already worked it out!

    i generally check my brakes when i have people that close, one of the thing that pisses me off the most, literally no point in doing it, unless your about to pass, and by about to i mean couple seconds, some people just shouldnt be allowed licenses

    i do this most times but didnt bother on this occasion as i dont think it would have made any difference.

    Was driving the evo a few year back and some chav was on my bumper with his misses eating and drinking in the passenger seat. i timed it just right when he looked round to his girlfriend when she was scoffing her face and i braked slightly, he looked up and shat him self when he saw my lights and slammed his brakes on .all i saw was drink and burger flying around . he then pulled onto the side of the road probably to get an ear full and wipe his interior over .

    Funny thing is when you got someone in a scenic with a hat on & a beard behaving strangely you tend to think you have a stalker

    Apologies for the greet dude but I really needed a p!ss from the time I got of the ferry in Portsmouth

    Since the road is empty and he does not obstruct the traffic, what kind of claims you may have?
