Not that I would ever have done this at any point, of course not, but middle lane hoggers mostly get very scared and move over once they get undertaken…

Speed bumps where you have to drop down to way below the speed limit to not damage your car 

I'm all for speed bumps, but not on every residential road every 10 metres. 

 

Where I live they're absolutely everywhere.

 

That combined with the atrocious state of the roads on this dump island meant my little car - which has pretty hard suspension - needed a new shock absorber in the summer at considerable expense.

Some of the speed bumps on the Monsell are vicious. And unnecessary.

Car joining the A50 from Anstey lane this morning. Had been at the junction a while before I got there.

 

Few hundred yard gaps in traffic and wouldn't move.

 

And again.

 

They were literally waiting for the entire carriageway to be empty back to the Groby junction.

 

I've ended up beeping them, they moved forward enough (their positioning was atrocious as well) for me to get past and on my way. 

 

As i peered back.... they just sat there

....The amount of driver's that somehow manage to drive around in the evening without lights on. How is it even possible ? 

The amount of drivers around here who drive at night on B roads when they don't appreciate the width of their car and are frightened to drive at night.

 

I was forced off the road to avoid another of these middle of the road pr1cks as I came back from Barwell last night. Fortunately, I've got a 4x4 that is fine with roughness - but I've noticed it becoming a real issue over the last year or so.

 

If they can't drive confidently and competently, get off the fvcking road.

 

They're as bad as the businessmen racers using our lanes as a rat run every time there's an issue between J1 and 6 of the A14.

E-scooters cutting you in on narrow pavements.

These loathsome things should be forcibly confiscated, the aluminium alloy melted down, the rubber and plastics recycled and the lithium ion battery terminals shorted and wired to the owners genitals.

What are your thoughts on electric bikes?

Tesla drivers. 

Seem to be fast over taking the German brands in terms of inability to drive properly.

 

Case in point 3 tesla drivers all attempting to park in Newarke St on Sunday was painful to watch.

 

I sat in my car in the leisure centre car park in Hinckley on Monday night waiting for a woman (other genders are available) took 8 attempts to reverse her Jag into a space. Considering the car has all round sensors and a reversing cam, it became ridiculous. Her starting position was always wrong and she didn't seem able to work it out.

Terrible parkers always get their starting position/angle wrong. Makes me laugh watching them shuffle back and forth for 5 mins.

Engines got invented and it changed the world. 

They certainly did, but not at the expense of push bikes.

It's my observation that many of the worst drivers have huge cars and my theory is that they aren't confident drivers and so get the biggest car they can to feel safe and everyone else will have to get out of the way.
