Dear Aggressive Drivers

Dear Aggressive Drivers,
(usually men)
I do hope you love your big, shiny black tank. Perhaps you didn't get to play with toy soldiers enough when you were a child? Hopefully you now get that sense of glee from screaming down the roads in your armoured personnel carrier. Are you dressed in camouflage as well? Jolly good. As we all know, it's essential to be sixteen feet off the ground in a car the size of a small planet when popping to Sainsbury's. What might befall you if you didn't have three tonnes of metal to insulate you from the dangers of the world? It doesn't bear thinking about.

I choose to interpret your driving five inches from my back bumper as a sign that you crave affection and closeness. You're an affectionate sort who hates to be alone, right?

Or, perhaps, you're showing me how you'd thrust away in bed, and I'm meant to melt into an admiring puddle at your virility? Obviously, most women want to be relentlessly humped, so you're probably overwhelmed with ladies throwing themselves at your feet as you emerge from your wankmobile in the car park of Iceland, no? All that accelerating towards cars that dare to drive in front of you - that's so sexy. So... attractive. Like that bloke in the bar who won't leave a woman alone even when the bouncer intervenes. Mmmmmmmm, yummy.

Of course, we all associate the size of your vehicle with the size of your self-regard, and swoon accordingly. No doubt you bought an off road capable car because you are a lumberjack who hauls enormous loads...

And your disregard for safety and speed limits just tells me you're a wild loner who doesn't live by the rules. A bad boy, who lives life on the edge. Who doesn't want a relationship with someone who is more likely to end up in ICU, amirite? That's every woman's dream!

Love
The woman who drove at the speed limit with your Xenon headlights in her rear view mirror all the way home. It was like Christmas. Thanks.

Doesn't your rear mirror tilt to stop the glare? Mine always have done.

WhatATimeToBeAlive · 28/10/2024 17:48

TBH, an awful lot of women drive like this too. Especially when they're on the school run in their Chelsea Tractors.

fivechairs · 28/10/2024 18:05

Feel better now you've got that off your chest op? Jolly good.

Weyohweyoh · 28/10/2024 18:13

This is why I love my dashcam. Have shamelessly snitched on multiple dangerous dick drivers via police online portal and have notched up several prosecutions. I recommend it wholeheartedly and do not give a frilly fuck what anyone thinks of that. When more of these inadequate knobs start to realise that anyone could be recording their vile entitled behaviour, perhaps they’ll think twice.

Eyesthelimit · 28/10/2024 18:20

Oh I would love to do that! Maybe santa will bring me a dashcam - is it easy to report ?

lightsandtunnels · 28/10/2024 18:25

Yep, I had one of these driving home today. Desperately tried to get in front of me at lights going into a two to one filter lane - I had already accommodated one car in front of me which is the rule of the road. They then proceeded to do exactly what you're describing OP. 50 limit and I was going 52 as my speedo records slightly under but not fast enough for him of course!
Annoying!

AntigoneFunn · 28/10/2024 18:33

Can I also add dickheads at roundabouts who seem to think a collective ability to mind-read suddenly descends upon all present?
Pulling up in next to me in the outside lane in your massive tractor of a vehicle meaning I haven't got a clue what traffic is approaching because all I can see is the door of your car because you're so high up. You've also pulled too far forward so I just have to wait until you've gone before I can decide what to do, which do doubt infuriates everyone behind me who, ironically, can probably see what's going on better than I can at that precise moment.
You're not indicating and I have no idea what you're about to do so I let you roar off first so I can now see the traffic.

Turns out you were going straight over, and while technically you were ok to be in that lane it's just thoughtless knoberry when your car is SO FUCKING BIG.

Dobest · 28/10/2024 19:01

Vroom vroom!

Balloonhearts · 28/10/2024 19:09

For me it's always women (the blokes usually get embarrassed after the first attempt and drive on) in car parks, mostly young to middle age in whacking great 4x4s trying to squeeze a car the size of the titanic into the smallest fucking space they can find, holding up all the other cars when there are ENTIRE LEVELS half empty. Stop buying cars you can't fucking park!

and breathe

Intheoldendays · 28/10/2024 19:15

They absolutely hate me - slightly older, greying haired lady in an ancient micra. They automatically pull out in front of me when they absolutely wouldn't if it was one of their testosterone filled massive car loving mates, drive very closely behind me, and adore overtaking on country roads.
I used to get really irritated but now I just drive as I do and console myself with the thought that I will get where I'm going with low blood pressure and that I paid for my car outright probably what they are paying a week, or every three days.

Pricks

MeowCatPleaseMeowBack · 28/10/2024 19:18

This is one of the cringiest things I've read on here.

LoveBluey · 28/10/2024 19:19

Not sure too many of these men will be reading this on here.
I really don't get the point of these threads or Facebook comments targeted at one specific person who is unlikely to ever see it. Why not just say I was followed by a right arsehole driver today.

It's like the ones who say if you were the woman in the red hat drinking a pumpkin spiced latte in Starbucks in Southampton today then can I just say you were incredibly rude to push past me and take the last chocolate brownie. They won't see your bloody post!!!

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 28/10/2024 19:22

Honestly that was nauseating. Jolly good
Wtf!

Beepbeepoutoftheway · 28/10/2024 19:23

Some women are just as bad!

DanceMumTaxi · 28/10/2024 19:26

I know what you mean OP. It often is men, so infuriating. I now have a 45/50 minute drive to work and I’m noticing this more and more.

with respect: bad drivers come in all sizes and it’s a bit over the top to link to sex in its widest sense….

uhOhOP · 28/10/2024 19:33

@HereBeFuckery, there are aggressive drivers who drive other cars, too. Seems as though you have a problem with people owning massive SUVs.

FuckBalledTwattyPiss · 28/10/2024 19:40

Or anything very much.

Yes, rear view mirrors do tilt, but that doesn't stop the headlights from the giant vehicle 3 feet behind you from shining into your wing mirrors, does it?

Ah, roundabouts. Yes. Go in the wrong lane, then indicate right and turn off from the middle lane across the car to your left. And it's all their fault!

And please, pulling onto the roundabout before a motorbike has passed is a shitty trick indeed. Do they do it on purpose?

Ilovemyshed · 28/10/2024 19:58

Or maybe OP you like to sit in the outside lane at 69 mph and have no f'ing idea what an impact you have on the traffic. Move over darling and let us folk who have places to be just get on with our day.

Ha ha ha 😂...yes, I witnessed one of these today, whilst I effortlessly parked my little mini. By the time I'd parked up, bought a parking ticket from the machine and displayed it in my windscreen, they were still trying (& spectacularly failing), to squeeze their Chelsea Tractor into a space 😂

alpenguin · 28/10/2024 20:03

I could have written this after a thruster with fog lights on, on pitch black, winding road would speed up to within a metre of my rear then pull back and go at it again. Nothing makes me want to slow down more than a throbber with a ton of metal at his fingertips trying to prove his low self esteem and emasculation is my problem and not his

CaptainBeanThief · 28/10/2024 20:07

The word yummy 🤢

HereBeFuckery · 28/10/2024 20:22

@uhOhOP I do, as I so often see them driven so poorly, and because they are invariably driven in urban areas only. They are terrible for fuel efficiency unless electric, and so many streets and car parks don't accommodate their size, so they get in everyone else's way. I know it's irrational but I look at an SUV and think 'smug'.
