pabloh20 1 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 I am currently taking driving lessons. So far, the following things have been annoying me.I have stalled at a junction because I'm Sh#t. Don't beep your ****ing horn at me, it won't get me moving any faster. It might just get me to carefully put the car into neutral, apply the handbrake, get out, drag you from your vehicle and kick your ****ing head in. Bet you didn't expect a learner to do that, now did you? I am driving in town at the speed limit. Don't drive your car right up my arse-end in some sort of strange attempt to intimidate me into going faster or getting out of your way (which I'll gladly do IF THERE WAS ANYWHERE TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY TO!). It might just get me to slow to a stop, carefully put the car into neutral, apply the handbrake, get out, drag you from your vehicle and kick your ****ing head in. You are attempting to pull out from a junction onto a main road but no gap is appearing. Oh wait, there's a learner driver, I'll just pull out in front of him and block the traffic because there's still no room to get through on the other side. DO NOT do this - for all you know I might have injected my instructor with a substance that paralyses him from the neck down because I want to be able to test my reactions without him interfering. My reactions are Sh#t. Speaking as a pedestrian, read your highway code. When you turn onto a road which I am crossing, I have the right of way and you should stop. You should not accelerate towards me unless you actually do want to kill me. In which case you should stop jinking out of my way and sounding your horn when I stop and stare at you, looking just a teeny bit like Hannibal Lecter. PS. Turn your ****ing music down. I don't want to hear it. This made me laugh. MG didn't make me laugh, but that's ok I'm not hurt.......you just carry on with your life MG........no I'm fine, thanks...honest.... I must admit, I hate to see people trying to intimidate learners, by driving too close, etc - not sure if they are deliberately trying to do it, or they are in fact just bad drivers. Maybe it's both Ha ha! Just remembered Wez is a BMW driver! This could get interesting.................... I don't know any BMW drivers, but now you said Wez I think ykick has a point!!!

BradSpeedMan 6 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 WOMEN DRIVERS!!!Women cannot drive. They don't know how to merge, park or drive on a roundabout. They may not be in as many accidents as men but I bet they cause more. P.S. Yes I have had my bravery pill today. B.P. you got my name and surname Initials, welcome! and I agree with you mate, Women don't belong on the road.... that include cyclist, why they don't find a flippin road to drive on I don't flippin know!!!!! then they flippin drive in the middle of the flippin roads!!!! Death to road cyclist too!!!!!!! Death to these lunatics who drive straight up to yer flippin bumper at high speeds when you're not going fast enough!!!!!! Nowadays it's happening in 80 kph zones on main roads near residential areas... I'm exhausted guys, I need a breather..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duest 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 People who drive at suicidal speed in fog. People who drive too slowly in the fast lane when it is foggy. If you can't hack the conditions and it is all a bit too scary then get into the slow lane... People who can't hack peak hour traffic. In peak hour gaps are there to be taken. Sure my lane change was aggressive, but it wasn't dangerous and you're probably just p**sed that now I'm in front of you. I suggest the speed at which you got on that horn says more about your driving than it does about mine. If 3 people on the road makes you feel a bit claustrophobic then get the freck off it!!

Actually, I hardly ever use my horn, well not that horn, anyway. If I do it does actually mean I'm going to hit you unless you move.... I have no problem with people going for gaps like that, I don't care how close you get to me either......just don't make me slow down needlessly!! And don't get expect me to be sympathetic when the same thing happens to you....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 A driver's speed tends to creep up in fog because you have no frame of reference to gauge your speed. I do know what you mean though, Dan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dribbler 6 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 What annoys me on the roads? Everybody else. Anybody going slower than me is just getting in the way - don't they know I have places to be? Anybody going faster than me is a lunatic and will most likely make the evening news in some spectacular and gory incident.Why don't BMWs have indicators? Women who do their make up while driving. I have personal experience here - the stupid woman was applying lipstick so failed to notice that everyone else had stopped at the lights and had to use the rear of my car as a brake. People who drive their kids to school (because it's safer than walking these days?) and then double park outside the school and risk getting their precious cargo mown down by stepping out from between their parked people carriers and chelsea tractors. MPVs! (minivans) What is the point? You can get get 7 people into one. Brilliant. Where do you put the luggage? If you put 7 persons luggage in, then where do the people sit? Buy an estate (station wagon), you idiots. People who drive at suicidal speed in fog. People who use fog lights (especially the rear ones) in clear weather. People (usually women for some reason) who are unable to judge the width of their own car and whether or not it will fit through the space in front of them. People who press the button at the crossing and then walk away. Kia and Daewoo. Speed cameras. Tailgaters. Speed bumps. Poor street lighting. Lack of courtesy. Baby on board stickers. Seeing stupid people driving with underinflated tyres. Seeing stupid people driving with doors not properly closed. Seeing stupid people driving with unrestrained kids in the car. Stupid people. I need to lie down now. Quality, pure quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c21 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2006 Paris: Dont go there its a lottery, have you seen the Arc de Triomphe? its a roundabout with NO lanes its just a circle of randomly placed cars. DONT GET STUCK ON THE INSIDE thats the key. French drivers: AARRRGH! have you ever driven down a slip road onto a motorway and found an ARTICULATED TRUCK (with extra trailer) REVERSING back towards you??!! The Swiss: Drivers so far up your arse that you can no longer see thier headlights in your rear view mirror. The tip there is to brake test them, because no Swiss do that to eachother they are shocked and then stay at least 50 yards behind you. Indicators here are just stickers on the sides of the car just for show. Be prepared for ANYTHING to happen! if a car has stopped at a junction to join the same road you are driving on and the driver has even looked you in the eye and knows you are there be prepared to stamp on the brakes when he or she pulls out in front of you at the very last moment! Those are just a couple for now I hav almost had some monumental accidents out here. Oh yeah, one last one for today, why do people drive in the middle of the road on country lanes around blind corners? you cant possibly know whats coming the other way!!!!!
