Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

This person just posts shit videos of people doing very little wrong. There was no accident so I don’t see why the video is online.
Most of his videos are complete fake news rubbish, I agree. But this one could have resulted in the tosser in the red car causing a head-on so is fair enough.

This guy's blood pressure must be through the roof though.

The Doxey Road bridge, over the river, is a place that I am surprised does not have more accidents. Not due to driving liking like that in the video, but drivers coming from the other direction that constantly ride the white line. I drive it most days and don't need to so I don't know why others have to put people at risk.

Just followed a bloke down Sandon Road at 15 to 18mph, until he finally spotted the speed van that he'd been warned about, then he floored it in a cloud of black diesel smoke, as soon as he was past...

You can never be too careful.

There’s a lot of people that seem to be very conscious of their poorly endowed appendages these days.

You see, when you have a speed limiter on your car you can be a bit more liberal with the accelerator, as you don’t need to worry about breaking the speed limit and can instead focus on the road, especially coming away from lights.

Fellow at the Asda roundabout, coming from Lichfield road, is sitting in lane number 2 from the right. I’m in the right-hand lane to go down Weston Road, he’s presumably going down towards Aldi, right? I pull away, as I said being liberal with the accelerator. For some reason he didn’t like that and felt the need to, rather than holding back to pull into my lane (he wasn’t indicating for the record, there was nothing to say he wanted to join my lane) he pelted forward and swerved right just before the road split off towards Aldi and B&M.

Some people eh? They don’t like being out-accelerated by Fiesta/Micra body style car, damages their egos. Wasn’t even a BMW or Audi!

Wasn’t really even accelerating that much, I only take it out of eco when on fast roads. I’d be in the back of someone if I took it off round the town.

Of course, he could have just been a general tool who thinks overtaking at the last second like that is sensible, but thinking they’re annoyed by being outclassed helps me justify my purchase.

There are a great many, quite depressingly so in fact on that stretch of road, who fulfill the requirements of the General Tool category.

Yup. I see a lot of people doing that.

Thinking about it, he was glancing at me as I pulled up. Just realised that I had a giant plush yellow chick strapped in on the passenger seat. Could be related somehow.

I followed a car to Uttoxeter once, there appeared to be an elderly lady with a pale grey perm in the front passenger seat, when I finally got alongside at a diverging junction, I discovered that it was a dead sheep, with a seat belt on.

There is a very odd vehicle with some sort of satanic looking mannequin permanently in the passenger seat, parked up in Castletown.
