Driving hates

[Percyprod]

After unbelievably seeing 2 people this week driving on main roads with digs on their laps, what 3 things really annoy you about other drivers, ignoring using a phone, speeding and tailgating. Apart from the doggy one, mine are using earphones when driving, and placing phone/ sat nav in right in front of the driver, or under the rear view mirror.

People who clog up roundabouts and junctions in queuing traffic. Just because there’s no yellow box doesn’t mean you should just blindly stop there.

Similarly idiots who stop in the yellow box.

People who park like idiots on the street so you struggle to get a car through.

Re lorry drivers - there’s a massive roundabout near us with 5 roads leaving off it - one is the main road from the A1. I very often travel from the 6 o’clock road to the 12 o’clock road (smaller roads) and most (I’m not exaggerating - I kept a record once) lorries, on the main road, tear across the roundabout from 9 o’clock to 2 o’clock without stopping for traffic from the right and one has to stand on one’s brakes. I swear the only reason there hasn’t been an accident is because a lot of traffic on the 6 o’clock road is local and knows what to expect,

Without knowing the roundabout etc - big vehicles need a lot power to move off and are more difficult to stop and need more space to stop. If they're already on the roundabout they have priority. There's possibly a degree of defensive driving going on.

Anyone who drives a Landrover buts lives in a city (rural folk are allowed). I've yet to meet one who wasn't an arsehole who thinks they can do whatever the hell they like because they've got a big car. News flash - it's too big for the narrow, crowded streets; you don't need it, and you can't drive it. Or manoeuvre it. Or park it. Dipshits.
