So today, on my usual travels through suburban north west London from home to a job, I saw what appeared to be more numbnut, blind, incompetent fools than normal on the roads.... must be xmas shopping season or something.... sort of half expect it on a sunday, but not too bad in the week.

1. Cyclist, that decided to pretty much drive up my right side to go straight on, as I was turning right at filter light...FOOOL... :evil:
2. People carrier that sat across 2 lanes of a dual carriageway for nearly a mile, as I finally got past female (of course) driver was fiddling with their phone.. BUFFOON !!! :roll:
3. Taxi driver that stopped in the middle of a narrow one lane wide road to drop off his ride, but refused to move into a nearby gap to let cars pass until he'd counted his fare/reset his satnav/fiddled with his mirror/arsed about with his hair.... twit !!!1 :thumbdown:

I'm sure there were more, but that's what I remember... Merry Christmas all !!!

Good to share the rants! There is some seriously bad driving out there. As much i my past self would hate my future self for this... the driving test needs to be waaaay more difficult.

Nearly every day i see someone on the motorway wait until the last possible minute to take an exit... you know the bit where the road divides and you have a y shape, which has the white angled lines across it, i see people cross at that point, into the lane where there are cars doing 70. The worst i've seen was someone waited until AFTER the tarmac ended and drove across the dirt, flinging up a load of dust and debris into both sides of the Y. So dangerous, i thought he was going to hit the steel barrier he left it sooo late.

I have lanes where I live inhabited by rich folk in big houses, they seem to think it fashionable to buy the Mrs a big Chelsea tractor when they would struggle with a fiat 500 aond they couldn't possibly squeeze over where there is a muddy puddle or stick to the speed limit and not use their phone, not sure many of them can reverse either

I don't think Chelsea Tractors are fitted with reverse gears, as when confronted with one trying to pass in a narrow road, they seem incapable of reversing back, of course after they shouldn't have gone forward and blocked the road to start with..
