Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

I saw a van on that carpark the other week parked width ways at an angle across 3 spaces, as well as sticking out into the roadway making it awkward for drivers to get past. Was going to get a photo, but with workmen sitting outside the food van nearby watching me decided if it was theirs I was probably safer for me to walk on by... (other vans that size further down the carpark had managed to park within the lines ! )

This was about a month ago in Queens*. The disabled parking bay next to Costa.

Either you haven't got a blue badge so you shouldn't be parking there

Or you are not displaying your blue badge so you still shouldn't be parking there, the bays are for people who are displaying a valid blue badge in their car.

No, a Stafford Rotary Club sticker doesn't count.

Have a bit of sympathy please!!
The driver would have had to cross that busy road if they used one of the two empty parking bays straight opposite. And just think of the extra walking time to get to your overpriced caffeine fix :)

Even worse he might have had to walk from the empty bays past two parked cars to the left of the bay he is in. Possibly Mr R. A. M. as it is vanity plate. The vehicle seems to have been first registered as KS63TLY then re-registered with its current number at the beginning of 2014.

Well done to the dick driving the white Vauxhall ref BU14EES this morning for driving straight through the red lights at the crossing outside the college as I was in the middle of the road.

I thought the BMW that went through on amber/red was bad enough but the Vauxhall was a good 30yds behind and just sailed on through without even realising what they had done.

How do I edit this?
This morning I saw three cars who had elected to set out with several inches of snow still blocking their rear windows (although they were all luxury vehicles so perhaps the drivers are of the opinion mirrors are optional anyhow...).

Also a guy doing 15mph on a gritted 50 limit section of the A500 in Stoke. I generally try not to sneer at drivers for simply being cautious, but it was about the least slippy surface I met on my entire trip.

I was thinking how good the 4x4 driver was ,that came down the road very slowly for a change and into their driveway . BUT...then the inconsiderate woman reverses back out and double parks on the very slippery road instead, making it a hard task for cars to squeeze through the narrow gap especially on a treacherous surface. Still there now after several hours. Why do that when you have an empty driveway to stick out of the way in??? :ohno:

Accident on the A449 just coming into Penkridge from Stafford this afternoon. Four vehicles scattered along the side of the road plus a police vehicle with lights flashing so we slow down. Prat in a BMW behind us immediately starts flashing his lights at us because we are holding him up.
