Old.. and I mean OLD men/women driving to a garden centre/Morrisons/home/anywhere at a max speed of 27mph no matter what the limit is. Any of the above travelling between Hinckley and Ibstock/Coalville/Woodlands garden centre. Mostly Woodlands. Go home and die. The plants you've just bought will outlive you by several years. Get off the roads you geriatric incompetent dangerous fools

 

I bet it's always a Rover or a Honda Jazz!

I maintain that speed cameras can be a danger.  They're on most of the overheads on the M25 and I regularly see drivers slow down for each one, race to the next one then slam the brakes on again, and repeat.  It would be much better if they all kept a constant speed.

They are money grabs. Safety is an after thought.

Tbf it is a dangerous junction so really shouldn't be criticised.

 

That is also one prime example of speed cameras being used correctly - at an accident blackspot. 

 

In my opinion thet should reduce the speed limit to that junction to 50mph anyway.

The ones who annoy me are those who do 40mph in a 60 zone, but when it drops to 30 when going through a village they carry on doing 40. They are literally are taking no notice of the road or your surroundings. Drives me up the wall.

 

Also a special mention to someone in a Peugeot this morning on the B4114 at about Palmer's Garden Centre. Police car careering up with its lights on in the outside lane, so instead of pulling over (which they could do, easily, no car obstructing) they slow down pretty much to a stop in the OUTSIDE LANE! The copper must've been raging.

Traffic on roundabouts when I'm trying to break a 50 degree lean angle. 

 

Inconsiderate.

If you slam the front brake, 90 degrees can be achieved

I cut someone up today, he shouted "Oi" at me, who shouts "Oi" when road raging these days, stupid melt! 

[CollinsLCFC]

Going round a roundabout, and a woman in a Landrover joins the roundabout when I'm just about to pass, had to slam my breaks on and I honked. She didn't even bother looking or apologise, but her boyfriend/husband in the passenger side decided to stick his out the window and give me some stick, until she pulled over and he got out indicating for me to stop. I was raging, but managed to keep my cool and just keep driving.

 

Cretin.

People who drive stupidly slowly in the outside lane. Yes, I know you probably want to turn right sometime in the next three light years, but at least drive at something loosely resembling the speed limit of the road. I hate undertaking, but it's either that or have a cortege of cars longer than those bloody tank pride festivals the Russians used to have.

It's the sitting in the right hand lane miles before turning right that winds me up. I'm not for people constantly switching lanes but if you're going to drive at 30 down a dual carriageway then stay in the left lane until you're at least in the same postcode as the junction.

So that stretch of A46 coming out of Leicester from the Hobby Horse toward 6 hills is 70 limit? Genuinely never knew that.

Apparently they're "dummy (fake) cameras".

(but I'm about 120 miles, not 120 seconds away - so not me causing you grief).

It depends on what you are driving, Col.

 

It's only 70 for cars, car-derived vans, and motorbikes (obviously you won't have to worry about the latter reaching those sort of speeds...).

And that's why you are more suited to a Scooter!

I'm only surprised you haven't told us all you can get to 70 in first gear...again

Or was it 90?
