While we are moaning at women drivers...
...Lidl this morning, the female driver of a large merc (reg TIX LL), who thought it was ok to stop to let someone reverse out of a space, but did NOT stop to let the pedestrian over the crossing, even though the pedestrian (me) was already ON the crossing!
Must be wearing my invisible coat again...

Same thing happened to me on Wilkos car park, on that very clearly marked crossing over the road between the 2 halves of the car park

I'm one of those rare ones then
. I always acknowledge anyone who lets me out and let others out quite often . I always hope they will do the same for me one day.(I even let someone onto the motorway J11 yesterday, even though it had taken me an hour to reach that point and I was fuming with the car in front of me, He'd sat stationary for over 10 minutes, letting about 20 cars get on from the slip road each time the traffic jam moved up a car length. Now that is being too bloody ridiculous!)
Bad driving is something I see that much around Stafford that I rarely feel the need to post about it.
That said, some people driving down Baswich lane are really terrible at keeping in their lane. One person I saw was weaving all over the place, their car had the nearside wing mirror missing which was probably due to some driving mishap. Luckily they ended up turning into Cornwall Drive before they had any more accidents.

Not exactly bad 'driving'....
Today at the traffic lights by Aztec Cycles I was stuck behind a cyclist......wouldnt of been so bad if his leggings & top had reached each other & his hugely hairy bare arse wasnt on display swaying from side to side as he cycled along!
Please cycalists, wear approptiate clothing that covers your hairy builders bum cleavage!

Mamil is the term, middle aged man in lycra.

Wearing lycra also transfoms a cyclist from pleasant, courteous and law abiding road users to arrogant, fist waving arsehole who thinks he can ride two abreast in the middle of the road down country lanes holding up road tax paying vehicles. The olympics has a lot to answer for. Just about every pot bellied, fat arsed middle aged bloke thought they were chris hoy and bought a skinny wheeled bike and donned lycra. Most of em looked like bad 80's wrestlers with sticks up their arses as they uncomfortably wobbled down the road.

Highway Code Rule 66 says - you should never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends.
There's more than a fair chance that the Lycra-wearing cyclists, in particular, will have a motor vehicle back at home that has road tax paid on it - sometimes, it's paid for by somebody else, but it's still paid...

Road tax does not exist. The roads are paid for out of general taxation, meaning it's entirely possible that your lycra friends pay far more towards the roads than you do, even if they've never touched a car in their life.
(Road tax on the internet is like sarcasm, impossible to discern if someone is using it ironically or not, so for the sake of being able to whine about the constant misunderstanding I'll assume you think it's real.)

That's not Road Tax, it's vehicle excise duty and it doesn't go towards the roads, it goes towards general taxation (which in turn pays for the roads...). If you're paying Road Tax you must be stuck in the 1930s...

I expect to see a formal apology to all cyclists you've wronged within the hour

Laughing my socks off at @captainpish & @proactive...
Just to let you know though, its not the lycra Im objecting to, its the hairy-arse cleavage where the top & bottom dont meet! (I get enough of that sort of thing at home).
