Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

St. Thomas Lane is currently one way (Baswich Lane towards Tixall Road only) - hasn't stopped at least 3 cars I've encountered going down it against the one way restriction....

For anyone not aware, the Tixall Road is currently closed both ways between Kensington Drive and the junction at the crem whilst someone else digs yet another hole in it

Seen the same myself (mentioned it on the other thread). Basically I think people are ignoring it completely.

A stunning piece of driving from someone who must be a local to attempt a move like that.

Definitely local - the lanes used to be the other way, years ago - to actually allow overtaking up the hill - probably hasn't noticed that they've changed.

I think they are aware it has changed but just chooses to ignore the markings.

One day, he may meet somebody turning into the old garage.

The two crosses you can see at c.0.30, i was a witness to those deaths - two children - definitely the worst example of poor driving i have witnessed.

Wolverhampton Road tonight, dl15 nkm driving like an utter twat. If I had the dash cam on I'd have reported him, easily 45-50 in a 30 and seriously dangerous overtaking.

My dad, today on the M6. There can be no angrier or more aggressive driver.

Not come across Mrs T on the road yet then?

It now appears quite normal for some Stafford folk to drive thru red lights... it's a daily occurance. I saw it again on Sat night he went through 2 red lights on the Queensway. 2nd time he did it there was a police car approaching from another road... I expected the old flashing lights to go on.... nothing....

Someone in a red Toyota Celica kept tailgating me yesterday and then overtook me only to get stuck behind a large farm vehicle

Same thing happened to me driving back from Cheadle the other day - black Fiat tailgating me to whole way back, finally went past when I slowed down a bit only to find themselves right up behind the reason I'd slowed down - a tractor!

On the point of red light runners, it really is becoming a problem - I think I might put together a compilation from the dashcam just to show how many there really are around here.... including the number 9 bus when I was out on Monday....

This happens to me a lot because of the car I drive but I have no intention of being forced into driving faster when I know that I will be breaking the speed limit if I do so.

Same here - I have a slightly sportier car so people do think I'm going to drive like a lunatic.... I can drive fast, but I save it for the track, not the road

It is even worse if you happen to be a woman in a sportier car.

I find white vans are the worse at traffic lights revving up because they think you're there to race them- hilarious

Probably the copper that drove through on red three or four seconds after I elected to be an amber gambler - I was expecting to become a quota, but he seemed oblivious to it...

Saw a beaut this morning. On the Queensway approaching the crossing lights by the new houses an articulated lorry came out of the construction works at the rear of M&S and turned right on the Queensway towards ASDA. The lights were against him, not just changed but traffic was going along Queensway through the lights. He totally ignored the lights, traffic etc. Vehicles in front of me had to brake almost to a standstill to avoid a collision.

Add taxi's to that.
