Idiot Fucking Drivers!

[BlueRussiann]

I'm so sick of seeing irresponsible/idiot drivers where I live! Any one else?

I have a neighbour who thinks he's still a teenager with is checkered car, body kit and loud exhaust. He leaves for worm at 5am and leaves his engine running for a good 5 minutes before setting off. God knows why!

Not only that but he bombs it down our tiny cul de sac where children are often out playing. Today he comes bombing down and I can see from my window that his dog is sat on his jumping all over his face, as he's fucking driving! Wtf is wrong with some people?

Surely you restrain your dog safely in a car or at the very least don't have it in your face whilst trying to drive a car 😡 Sorry for the rant!

No one hears that shit and thinks 'oooh wow, look at that cool car'. They think 'what a fucking arsehole

Dh always says, "Fart pipe on that one" or "Ghetto pipe on that one" depending how he's feeing. He's a mechanic and thinks they sounds ridculous.
They sound like a teenager is driving and trying to impress someone maybe another a teen will be impressed

Loud exhaust is an invention of the devil. Horrible and with all due respect, rude and obnoxious.

I live in a high density residential area near a university. The students are all back, and the one it two with loud exhausts are already driving me crazy.

Between construction next door and at other sites, we are serenaded all day by construction noise and incessant back up beepers on trucks. The last thing we need is a car with loud exhaust cruising around late at night. They should be banned.

Sorry, this pressed my buttons as I sit having my coffee listening to some sort of construction grinding and dueling back up beepers.

I have a loud exhaust on my motorbike.

It increases my safety as people hear me coming.

Couldnt care less about a tiny noise inconvenience for others for a couple of seconds when compared to others not noticing me at all and killing me

It increases my safety as people hear me coming.

No it doesn't. The loud exhaust echoes around, confusing people as to the direction in which the dickhead is approaching.

But they hear something. So might pause to doublecheck before pulling out

From inside a car? Sure.jan.gif

(tasteful) body kit wrap that’s a bit of an oxymoron.

If you cant hear it in a car then its not loud enough

I have a very nervous rescue dog and she is generally reluctant to go on walks and isnt keen on normal traffic but copes. If a loud engine goes past she totally freaks out and is scared for the rest of the walk.

Just remembered, we used to have a few jags which ‘growled’ when you turned them on but somehow didn’t sound intrusive. I’ve noticed that the natural porches (I cant remember what it’s calledbut the ones released before the EU emissions issue) are also fairly quite when they turn on and only make annoying noises when you are going really fast. And then there was someone who had a car (I think it was some kind of sporty bmw) where you could turn the sounds on and off. It’s definitely possible to have an interesting engine noise without being a dick.

Yes @TheKarateKitty, it's my dream to have a stinger to throw in front of people who drive like twats!

"couldn't care less" gives all the information we need. Sigh.

Given the effects of air pollution levels on health in this country, sitting with the engine running is foolishness. People need to get out of that habit fast.

@araiwa If you want more safety, drive a safer vehicle. Having a ridiculous exhaust is selfish and ignorant. You're coming across very smug, it's quite ugly actually.

Yes we have a 40 year old wannabe boy racer who lives up our road.
I love seeing his car up on blocks knowing it's going to be peaceful for a couple of days.
Theres no need for them to be so loud. I mean why? Last time my car sounded like that there was a hole in my exhaust why do they want their car to sound broken?

Yes! Whenever I pull up next to them at the lights I always want to tell them their backbox is broken. Fucking idiots.

No one hears that shit and thinks 'oooh wow, look at that cool car'. They think 'what a fucking arsehole'.

This.

Couldn't agree more. It's just irresponsible, yet we'll have plenty of comments about "i work hard for what I get, I deserve to drive X" despite us all working hard for whatever we choose to purchase, and yet that feeling not driving us to purchase an offensively-exhausted car.

Indeed, I work hard. I therefore deserve a good night's sleep.

Anyone considered inserting a potato up said exhaust?

@Cockw0mble
Very apt name.
Your car may be nice to you but other than fellow cocks everyone thinks you’re an immature attention seeking twat.
Think of elderly people, veterans with ptsd, pets, small kids; do you think they enjoy the noise? No, stop being a selfish dick.

@DdraigGoch
I’ve heard a quick skoosh of expanding foam does the trick 😉

Yanbu. I m currently trying to get to sleep on a school night while boy racer types are squealing their tyres and revving up their hideous cars.
Last time my car sounded like that it needed a couple of hundred pounds new exhaust fitted as it failed the M.O.T.
Unfortunately we dont live far from the local McDonald's where the car park is used for knobheads impressing each other with bad (loud) driving.
Hey dont worry about the local residents who need to get some sleep before another day s work...

I feel your pain. There is a car park 6 feet from my back door (house was here first) where the knobheads pull donuts etc with their boy racer willy trumpets. Just waiting for one to lose control and come through the wall
