A driving one (sorry!!)

[Donna89]

Stuck behind 3 extremely slow drivers today. I'm usually quite patient but today it really bugged me.

Driving in a 60mph and someone was driving 30mph. I'd understand if it was bendy, windy roads but it was a straight road in which I would have been able to overtake easily if other cars weren't coming to me.

Then on the way home stuck behind another driver doing 35mph on a 60mph which, once again, was not a bendy road at all.
I purposely took another route to avoid following them all the way home just to get stuck in temporary traffic lights (the joys 😂).

And finally (this one is hard to explain): on a 30mph road, there are cars parked on one side but halfway on the pavement so there is room to drive on the left side of the road.
Anyway, one car was sticking out slightly so I had to slowly go around it (after making sure no cars were coming) and some idiot speeds around the corner as I was passing the car and I had marked my way. I luckily have a small car so I didn't hit the parked car as the other car pushed past but if my car was larger, i probably would of ended up hitting his car or the parked car as he was speeding and had no intention of stopping.

Amyway just a rant thread as I found driving today very frustrating

I had this, too! Some annoying slow coach in a Ford Fiesta was driving at 33mph on a 60mph road. Of course there were cars coming in the opposite direction at all times so I couldn't overtake.

I considered leaning on the horn 🙃

@sbhydrogen ahh me too! Took all my willpower not to beep 😂

It's bank holiday Friday.
They're out in force, I got stuck behind one of those little Fiat bubble cars today.
Country road but no way of overtaking.
They were doing 25 mph.

Got into town and it made me laugh that they were probably shitting themselves when the 30mph sign came into view.

But they went even slower.

I drove 17 miles down a straight a road today, doing 60 in a steady stream of traffic. The Audi behind me was on my bumper the whole way. If I'd braked, he'd have hit me. We reached a dual carriageway and I moved into the overtaking lane to pass the caravan in front and Mr Audi, unable to wait 10 seconds, undertook me and swerved round the caravan. He sped off with a screech, at a ridiculous speed, in driving rain. Sadly, a police car was up ahead!

I had a dipstick today driving right up behind me tonight, on a dual carriageway. It was clear, he could over take but just sat behind me. Very strange person. Then further ahead saw some twat almost hit a cyclist, they just pulled out into the road without looking and a cyclist was literally right there. Nearly killed him.

Shite driving as usual really, too many idiots with licenses.

Twice today I had pillocks pull out of side roads onto the A road I was on then proceed to stick at 35. Rude enough to pull out when you then cause me to have to brake but to then not even attempt to get up to the limit of the road makes it worse.

My 3 year old enjoys shouting "Go away you slow pokes".
