Driving - What gets you mad?

[Emma58]

After reading the Mother and baby parking thread what else annoys you?

I get really irate when people without children park in these spaces (especially white van drivers).

Drivers who drive right up the backside of your car when you clearly have a 'Baby on Board' sign

 

[greendayrock]

I cant stand people that sit on your rear end, if the kids are not in the car then i slam my breaks on that scares them.

I also hate it when your waiting at traffic lights and there is someone next to you in the next lane for turning right and when the lights turn green they shoot ahead and try and get in front of you Good job i got a fast car i put my foot down


middle lane hoggers

 

[LisaJ1986]

I don't have a Baby On Board sign but people who sit up your arse anyway. You can see my car seat from the back! But even without, really makes me nervous! The people that cut you up. They just pull out in front of you and you have to slam your brakes on and you're practically at a standstill! People that don't indicate on roundabouts! There was an old lady that stopped smack bang in the middle of a roundabout yesterday, cutting up 2 lanes of traffic! So old people drivers!
I don't have road rage, honest

 

[1sttimemum]

I really HATE middle lane motorway hoggers, i will pull out from the outside lane to the "fast" lane and then indicate all the way back to the "slow" lane, sometimes they get the hint others just sit there

Hate drivers who drive up my arse. Before i had Calleigh i would piss them off by driving really slow when i knew they couldnt pass or would put my brakes on to shock them.

Hate people who are in the wrong lanes and cut you up. We have alot of islands in the town where i live and the amount of people who either cant get in the right lane or use the whole island as they go round really winds me up.

I do this! I'm a bugger for it. They soon back off.

 

[hennaly]

people who cut me up
people who pull out in front of me then go dead slow
Volvo drivers (they all seem to be arseholes)(oh any ladies on here with volvos are of course exempt from this comment )
Lorry drivers who start to pull out into my lane on the motoway and put the shits up me forcing me to pull out into the fast lane
People who could actually get into the boot of my car if it were open
Not forgetting the tossers who nip into a space you have been waiting for for ages when parking

 

[helsekia]

drivers that dont signal i get really really peed off!
drivers in the wrong lane at roundabouts
taxi drivers who just pull out with no warning,there terrible for it round here
bus drivers who never ever pull over to let you past even though its your right of way
cyclists who dont signal
cyclists who just sit in the the middle of the road


can you tell im not a fan of driving

Haha I do that too - a while ago now there was a guy behind me in a landrover driving right up my arse, so i started breaking til he backed off, he kept getting closer and I kept slowing down until he turned off..and when he did he stuck his finger up at me! Don't see why, he was in the wrong!

That's another thing that I hate. People who have Landrovers, Rangerovers and other ridiculously large vehicles with huge engines just to drive around cities! Old people who have them are the worst, they drive so bloody slow! What's the point? They keep them squaky clean and intimidate other drivers with them..I must be wrong, but I used to think that those sorts of vehicles were for off road driving and stuff, not to pose! I know all cars have an effect on the environment but these have got to be the worst..

Rant over

 

[hennaly]

All old people should be towed away, none of them have a clue how to use a roundabout

Nor do they undrestand what the National Speed Limit applies is

It is not 40MPH FFS!!!!

 

[CoreysMummy]

Urghhh, I drive a 'done up' car, which sounds faster than it is. Seems everything and everyone on the road wants a race, especcially when I have bubs in the car, wont get off my arse, will race ahead, then wait for me to catch up and do the same - id rather tits not arse about in their parents cars near me thank you very much!! Yes, I used to be a bit of a handfull on the road - but I now have a baby that needs a mummy, so I cant afford to be silly.

I also hate old people (Genneralisation im sorry) but they are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow, doddling along, in the wrong lane, take forever to do anythign, dont get out of the way, do 25mph in a 30, waver around lanes, dont stay in lanes on roundabouts... bloody idiots, should be re-tested!!

Actually on that note I think everyone could benifit from re-testing every 4-6 years. Get some of these grave dodgers off the road!!

 

[ShineyHappyPeople]

Argh old people that don't know how to use roundabouts and sail along dipping in and out of the lanes!!

 

[Urchin]

OMG I could be here all day.

I can't believe no one has said PEOPLE TALKING ON MOBILE PHONES!!!
It drives me MAD now it's illegal, I think people who do it are really selfish and there is no reason on earth why they can't pull over and talk or just not answer in the first place!

People not indicating, especially at roundabouts and I'm waiting to go.

People who are looking for a house, driving sooooooo slowly without indicating. Either stop or go faster you f*ckwit.

People who park taking up 2 spaces, this REALLY gets on my nerves, there a dad at the school who does this EVERY DAY it really gets on my wick, parking is tight for the school run, his citroen is ALWAYS there taking up the first 2 spaces

When there are 2 lanes of traffic at a junction, and the right hand lane can either go straight on or right. You want to go stright, the person sitting there in the right hand lane isn't indicating so you pull in behind them The lights change THEN they bloody indicate aaaaarrrrgggggghhhhh

Twats on mopeds. Need I say more?

Speeding in carparks.

People who wait at a junction with their nose hanging out.

OOOOH Don't forget people who don't say thanks you when you let them out...ARGH thats just RUDE!

I could go on, in fact, I'll probably be back later

People who don't say thanks really piss me off

 

[charlie84]

Oh yeah people on bloody mobiles i forgot about them.

Well i wanna add to my hates
Just been into town and its literally a five min drive not even that and in that time i encountered bloody sunday drivers just tootling along in a world of there own.
A bloke sticking his front end out of the junction - this does not make me wanna let you out, i will drive round you
I let someone out, no bloody thank you, how hard is it just to raise your hand.
When i got back to the car a big mercedes had parked right up close to the side i have to get Calleigh in. I am nice and try not to scratch peoples cars but he was lucky i never caught his stupid car with my door.
Then on the other side was an old codger who was parked miles away covering two spaces

Ok rant over but i feel better

It's official, OLD PEOPLE SHOULD NOT DRIVE!!!
I've just been to Asda. On my way into the car park i was on the main bit of road driving to the child bays when this old lady pulls out of another row, WITHOUT LOOKING IN FRONT OF HER, and only just missed me (She only missed coz i slammed my breaks on!) If i'd have carried on going, without a doubt she'd be sat in my door right now! She didn't even look my way! I nearly cried. Then, just for no reason, she stopped. Right there in the middle of the road. No signal, nothing. I decided after waiting a little while to go round her! I just wanted to take her licence off her there and then! Why oh why could it have not been a police car there instead of me?!?

I was shaking. Not only with tear but with anger too!!!

As she had stopped if it were me i think i would have had to have said something. People cannot drive like that.

I think that something needs to be done such as a kind of driving license renewal test thing every 5-10yrs maybe. I mean the road rules and the amount of traffic has changed over the years and will continue to change so everyone should be made to update their road knowledge IYKWIM.

When i was pregnant we were going around a roundabout and a young lad in his corsa smacked the side of our car. We stopped and OH and the lad got out to swap details etc, but i thought i would get out too and the poor lad was a bit that he had hit a car with a pregnant lady in it Lets just say his piddly corsa came off alot worse than OH vectra
