Road Rant Vent Thread!

[Sam]

Ok, so the idea of this thread is to vent your anger at typically bad drivers or experiences.
Guys - I don't want this to turn into a spammy thread please!!

So, I was driving to work today. I was on the inside lane, and a van in the outside lane. Anyway, this Mercedes Sprinter van foolishly tries to cut in the path of my car, only just noticing the car in front of me (that he almost swerved into) and then swerving out again. What an absolute plank of a driver!!! Why can't people just drive normally?

Anyway, if you've seen a bad driver out on the roads today (or any day!) and want to vent your frustration at them, get it off your chest in this thread!

Everyone in the outside lane pisses me off !

 

[DrDrew]

Lane hogers not moving back into the slower lane(s) and people who don't look as they approach a junction / roundabout

Finally this thread has been made after our conversation a month back lol :lol:

The main thing I hate is middle lane sitters!!

 

[Dazza1]

Tailgaters are the ones that hack me off. There was something in the news that the Police will be able to give the planks on-the-spot fines... and rightly so! I'm doing 70mph on a motorway... I don't need to be tailgated by a BMW or an Audi... they need to do 70, motorways would move much more smoothly!

CYCLISTS :evil: :evil:

i am a keep cyclist but every day i see complete t**ts going whatever the hell they like and then having a go at the people in the cars for nothing and giving the rest of the cyclists a bad name :evil:

some mornings i really have to restrain from giving them a nudge and using them as a speed bump to teach them a lesson :twisted:

I'm not though. If I'm in the middle lane doing 70mph (which is the speed everyone should be doing!) overtaking some slow lorry or in the outside lane overtaking, then I'm not hogging the middle/outside lanes because they are overtaking lanes. But this does not give other road users the green light to stay on my tailgate because they should be doing the speed I'm doing.
It's not like I'm hogging the lanes, because I am actually doing 70 (unless I'm stuck behind a middle lane hogger) and normally overtaking, although in some cases (like before busy motorway junctions) I'll prepare early and get in the right lane, so I don't do what other idiots do and cut in at the last possible second!

If I was doing 70mph or slower and had no reason to be in the middle lane or outside lane then yeah I completely agree I'd be lane hogging, but the fact is everyone else should be doing 70! I agree the speed limit for motorways could be higher but it isn't.

Motorbikes. I can't stand them. There have been a lot of roadworks at the bottom of my road for about 7 months now, and when im in the queue to get home they drive down the wrong side of the road and jump ALL the traffic. This morning on my way to work three Harley riders were coming down my side of the road when i was driving past everyone! Liberty or what?! If i didn't have such a nice car i wouldn't have moved out of their way!

 

[holliedynamique]

Old people who dont use there mirrors or even look when reversing and whack into the front of your 30 minute old car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then say OH! I didnt see it love!!!

Rant over lol

Idiot parents dropping off their kids at school.

First thing that pisses me off is when they think it's acceptable to let their kid get out into the ******* road, but seem to make sure they themselves are getting out onto the safety of the pavement.

Second thing is how the think it's fine to simply stop in the middle of the road to let their kids out. Holding up traffic because they are too damn lazy to park up.

Last Wednesday there was a guy dropping off his massively ginger child at the school next to my child's nursery. The place is rammed full of stupid and massively aggressive parents doing all kind of crazy stuff, this bellend decides to simply stop, no indicators and has one break light out, I slam on and the bus behind me nearly didn't stop. I drive past and shake my head, he gives me the V's. I parked up and the gimp wants round two, yelling all kinds of stuff (please note he has another younger child in the car and his ugly mrs) so I get out, red mist desends, and told him a couple of facts. No yelling but I may of told him that if he does get out I will skull f*uck him, he kacked his pants, does a Ross kemp and gets the hell out of there.

I don't know if there are another parents on here or at least people that have to go out during the school run, but it shouldn't get to this, let's just chill.

 

[Leanne]

Weebob I can relate as I live right next to a school, so I have to battle with the parents every morning to get to work, a journey that should take no more than 10 mins takes 30, purely because of he parents dropping their kids to school!

 

[Courtney]

School at the end of my road too! An absolute pain in the rear! And also there is a church, so when that is doing its thing they park all up the double yellows the whole way down my road!! Arghhhh! If i didnt have a nice car they wouldnt do it

 

[gavin-h]

Tailgaters are the ones that hack me off.

Brake test the f*ckers - at speed just a tiny dab on the pedal to bring the brake lights on is usually enough to make them fil their pants.

Had another middle lane sitter yesterday, I was on the motorway and it was going up hill a little so engine didn't like it, but I did the proper thing to over take go from first, second, third lane and then stare at the person and then change to third to first.

 

[toni_133]

ummm here is my list, most have already been mentioned: middle land hoggers, undertakers, old people, people who sit up your a**e and moped`s.

I have a real hate of mopeds, not motorbikes just mopeds or 125cc!!! :twisted:

 

[Ollie133cup]

Im not being funny but generally people that undertake do it because the person in front is think and driving in the outside lane when the inside landes flippin free so they undertake then to overtake ..... if you catch my drift...

 

[maggi200]

People who brake whenever they see a police car.

Wasn't that Jeremy Clarksons line? If someone can be undertaken then they could have moved back into the slower lane. (or something to that effect)
