Over the last few weeks I’ve noticed some absolutely appalling driving when I’m going to and from work. I know there’s always been shit driving but it seems a lot worse since restrictions were eased. It’s almost as though they’ve either forgotten how to drive. Today I got stuck in the inside lane behind someone doing about 50 MPH trying to over take a lorry causing a huge tail back. I’ve had been nearly clip me as they overtake me, I’ve seen people pooling along way below the speed limit obvious to the fact they are holding everyone up also so many people not indicating.

Encountered clown this morning! Driving along the slip road to get onto the disallowed carriageway and this idiot in front of me continued on instead of filtering in and was nearly at the end of the slip road and in the ditch! There was nothing coming and no reason for him not to have pulled over! I’d actually managed to do before him.

I have had to deploy my horn several times today on me extremely short commute. I hoped it would improve once people were used to driving in traffic again but clearly not.

The pavement cyclists are back too.

Yes yes yes. I now travel on a main road twice a week and have had several significant issues with men drivers just getting It completely wrong. Pulling out at roundabouts when they should be waiting, undertaking so I can't go back into slow lane and causing massive holdups, pulling out from Petrol stations onto a fast A road without even looking. I didn't even make the lockdown connection but I agree it's like people have forgotten that they are risking their lives when they make these bad driving decisions.
