In london Indication is a sign of weakness, its showing your hand, unless your trying to bluff them. eg , 2 lanes at the lights and they are red, your in lane 2 & turning right, do not indicate, untill lights turn green, it will wind up the taxi's behind.......  |

Cheers Dave! ;D

So in that vain im starting a campaign.
Ban All Over 65's From Our Roads
Or B.A.O.S.F.O.R for short.

He must be in the minority! I was behind an old woman in a C reg metro last week (she was at least 85) in Hanley, not that busy traffic wise. Sat at a junction, shes looking lert - right, left - right. Checking to see if its clear, for a good 5mins. So what, i hear u say? Not a single fucking car came either way the whole time! Pity my air horns wern't working! ;D Though she could hav had a heart attack if they were! |

he is in the minority.
The one that gets me at the minute is the " I don't know the speed limit" brigade......
was following one at 45mph in a 50 zone, as we got 10m from the speed camera, she slammed on her brakes down to 30mph. WTF WTF ..... flashing my lights an blowing the horn........ she nearly got rammed, as only one of her brake lights worked, and the last thing you expect is for someone to scrub almost 20mph for NO reason

Oh god yes!
The worst are the ones who cant drive at a constant speed! 20mph, up to 35, down to 25, back up to 30.
Breakin for parked cars. Indicating round parked cars,, whilst breaking just as you pass a junction so u think theyr'e gonna turn down it! ???
arseholes!

To be fair Pos, you don't have to be old to be stupid behind the wheel - not indicating correctly/at all at roundabouts is one of my pet-hates. I mean, some people expect you to be f***ing psychic at roundabouts/junctions!!
Another gripe is smoking and driving (sorry to anyone who does it on here) but I just get this gut reaction when I see someone (is it me or do women do it more?) holding the steering wheel with the two weakest fingers on their right hand and balancing a fag with the other two. I've even seen people holding a mobile and smoking at the same time!!!!! That should be a six-pointer!

Fair comment Not_Nick, it isn't just old people, bad drivers in general. Im 22, i happen to have a GTi badge slapped on the back of my car, which means people assume im a 'boy racer', but i am NOT.
Iv never gone to 'fezzy park' once. I have 4yrs no claims and am, in my oppinion, a bloody good driver!
I had a bloke in front of me earlier who drove for over 3miles (i counted) with his left indicator on, how did he not notice!
thats my rant for the day sorted! ;D

lorry drivers... that pull out of the inside lane on a dual carriageway (indication optional) to overtake another lorry but then just drive next to them for 5 mins thus causing holds ups and great annoyance to the car drivers behind them - particularly on the A14 tonight - WHY DO YOU DO IT?  In fact I don't care why you do it, just STOP IT. And don't get upset when I express my opinion of you - you're supposed to be big fat hairy arsed men so can't be that sensitive  |

I found the best way on a bike was just to split em ... down the white line in the middle ... line em up and wait till they are far enough apart , cog it down into 2nd or 3rd n nail the throttle.........
did see a 4x4 once undertake the 2 lorries using the hard shoulder...now thats mad....
should ban em, give em a time limit after which they have to abort there overtaking attempt, or give them an overspeed facility, which allows them to do 65mph for 30secs to overtake, with a limit of 4 uses per hour.
all these numbers are random and could be changed
