sweetcorn Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I've had a shocking day driving - 3 incidents where I had to take quite severe action. braking, swerving etc. IMHO The worst drivers are Rover/Vauxhall/ and 2nd hand BMW owners (Around the 5ish year mark ) Obviously not all are like this!

Ryan. Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 vauxhall surely is the logical answer! the Nova and corsa are small cars that new drivers (boy racers in paticular) take a liking to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Nissan micra drivers dont seem to know there are gears above 3rd. i pulled out of a junction yesterday trying to beat an astra coming up the hill, if he had been going at 30, not the 50mph i suspect he was going i would have easily beat it, as it was i had to floor it to just avoid hitting it, causing me to clip the curb oposite, surprised i aint knocked the traving out on my car. and drivers in 4x4s are words removed. most seem to go on the "im bigger, so its my right of way" rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 and drivers in 4x4s are words removed. most seem to go on the "im bigger, so its my right of way" rule this is very true, they always pull out on you regardless of if its safe and never let you pull out if its the other way around!

Grant(aka_eddy) Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Other - Most motorbikes i come across are going too fast, weaving in and out of traffic and/or overtaking on unsafe bends. By far the worst group of drivers and i've witnessed/experienced so many near misses because of them. Then it would be Mercs. Arrogant middle aged fatcats. Probably in-between those two groups would be boy/girl-racers in chavved up cars. But that spans across the different manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Then it would be Mercs. Arrogant middle aged fatcats. Hey! I'm not middle aged or an arrogant fatcat! My list: 1) Audi drivers. All of them. 2) VW Golf drivers 3) Old Toyota Carina minicabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted August 10, 2007 Moderator Share Posted August 10, 2007 Bus drivers are the worst, they adopt a policy of "it's huge and it's not mine" at islands. I often find myself at a standstill halfway round an island because a bus dirver has decided he'd waited long enough. Those Honda things as well, is it Aerodeck? Knocking on a bit, but seemingly the car of choice for the uninsured crook about town. I tell you what drives me mad as well, a slow motorcyclist. You get stuck behind some mid-life crisis dick doing 30 on his chromed up brand new Harley look-a-like, you can't overtake him, you have to keep a constant eye on him, he refuses to go up the middle lane between the traffic at lights. He's a bloody nuisance. Only pschotic speed freaks should be allowed to ride bikes, everyone else should stay on four wheels. Also, special credit to the drivers of royal mail vans. Every day is race day for those boys, those post vans only come in Ferrari red you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Anyone who tows a caravan. They should be made to pass another test. Yes. In fact, my proposal for a law, should I ever get to pass one, is that caravans should be allowed on the road only between the hours of 3am and 4am. And camper vans only between 4 and 5am. That'd sort the ****. Let them spend their lives waiting, like we do whenever they're on the road. Ever seen a caravan pull in to let people pass? About one in 40 do. All the rest are selfish clearings in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokVilla Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Over here Honda produce a 4x4 called the CRV. I have certainly come to pigeonhole all drivers of these cars as totally crap. Normally to be found jogging along at 60 mph in the fast lane refusing to move over. Thankfully, undertaking is allowed in Thailand...which is nice. I guess the UK equivalent is the suburban mum who takes their kids to school in a 4x4. I would also agree with Nick, women are generally poor drivers in my experience. I mean , if they can't throw a ball properly how can you expect them to drive ? :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted August 11, 2007 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2007 **** geriatric snowbirds driving Lincoln Town Cars (because "if RWD body on frame was good enough for granddad, it's good enough for me") with Florida plates who leave the directionals on for 5 miles after the turn while doing 10 miles below the limit.
