Every loudmouth muppet with tattoos feels the need to get their shirt off for some reason. Especially lingering outside pub doors or walking down the high street with a can of beer going.

There's a chance of seeing them kicking off when security prevent them going into the Highcross though, one of nature's spectacles

A6 north up to Loughborough/Quorn roundabout.. middle lane and left late go straight on (toward epinal way/big Tesco)

 

why EVERY TIME I’m in the middle lane does the car in the left lane not follow their lane and cut into the middle lane

 

how can you be so stupid, every.single.time

Timely reminder to never look right at a roundabout unless you are on the white line ( small rear ender i witnessed).

 

Also a timely reminder that you should join a roundabout when the opportunity arises and not to wait until theres no veicles for 5 miles around. Otherwise you put yourself in danger of being rear ended!

Very early in my driving experience I got rear ended at a roundabout.

 

By my mum, who was following me and was anxious not to lose me, so when there was a gap for me, she started forward. However, I was conscious of that and waiting for a gap big enough for two cars.

 

Didn't bother with the insurance and her car came off worse as I had a tow bar on.

Same applies when exiting a junction in a queue. I always wait until the car ahead of me has moved off before I look right.

I've noticed people are getting worse and worse on roundabouts.

 

If it's not people refusing to indicate at all coming off them, I've noticed so many people indicating at the complete wrong moment.

 

So many indicating off early where it looks like they're coming off a junction before, or just indicating the wrong way as they come off, it's mad.

Had exactly this earlier today, twice. Waiting to join a roundabout waiting for cars to pass. I started to move when I thought there was a gap as the car from the right was indicating to exit to the junction before mine, only to continue past it and then exit to my left. The car immediately behind did exactly the same thing.

 

Both were taxis btw. They drive for a living. How can they be so universally bad at it.

Then there are those that just decide to enter a roundabout when they feel like it cutting across traffic that's already on the roundabout. Feel like this has become much more common in the last few years.

Shit for brains,

a big gob, a big gut, that winning combination.

Are they really all die hard reform voters though?

Or did some simply get sucked in by being a bit thick and gullible?

Absolute specials this weekend - quite apart from the 'f**k you' driving of a Ferrari up my back end whilst I was overtaking on the M1 yesterday, flashing me at 75mph as if it was his divine right to vaporise me out of his way, and then the countless gormless souls just existing in the outermost lanes overtaking fresh air, today took the cake. I was just driving home from shopping, on a fairly wide residential road and encountered a white BMW very ponderously and 'generously' deciding to overtake a hazard on his side. On seeing me, he was waving me to slow down - I checked my speedo and I was doing about 25 maximum in a 30 zone, and despite his woeful road positioning, there was enough space.

 

I have decided that some drivers drive in the expectation that nothing will ever be coming the other way, which is bad enough,  but this one was the type that gets cross because you happen to be where they don't want you to be, legitimately or otherwise. They walk (or drive) amongst us - goodness knows how they cope with opinions that differ from their own.

The drivers that seem to think their car is the size of a tank and hesitate and wait whilst passing an obstacle on their side of the road when there's a gap that you could "drive a tank" through and they're driving a Honda Jazz or Hyundai i10.

 

In bold, I encounter this on a regular basis, particularly on country lanes. The arrogance, stupidity, lack of anticipation and ignorance infuriates me, to the point where I'm going have to put an angry face emoji at the end of this post.

I had the opposite on Thursday, bloke in a large car/suv but obviously thought he was in an i10. Parked cars all along one side, intermittent the other side. He pulls out of a gap after giving way for the car in front of me. Unfortunately, his car was too large to fit between mine and the parked one into the next gap.  Due to cars behind me and now him, no one can go anywhere.
