Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

A driver attempting to drive through the road works on Gaol Rd, off the island. They had made it past the first barriers and were deciding if carrying on or reversing into traffic was now the best plan, as I went past.

The utter, utter plum undertaking me whilst I was entering this mini roundabout (on my bicycle) heading towards Stafford tonight.

Nearly got side-swiped the other day by a lorry which did the usual 'cut from the left lane to the centre lane' trick on Queensway by Asda....

To the oxygen thief who thought it a good idea to squeeze passed me millimetres away from my car and mount the pavement to get round me as I queued to turn right From the Wolverhampton road into Rickerscote Road. What is wrong with people I ask you! :boh:

Not been on this thread for a while so not sure if there has been any mention of Sainsburys car park? Muppets doing hand brake turns etc on a very wet car park at a time when some are leaving college to collect cars after 9pm. I would hope that CCTV would pick this up and get a response, as 101 doesn't necessarily get you a decent response. Definitely not good when people are still using the car park!

They're doing that every night, as you probably know. Either that, or they park their little Saxos or Pugs in a row, revving the arses off them. God knows who they're trying impress.

to the bellend in a skoda yeti this morning coming down the A34 to the Queensville roundabout from Alstom....the traffic had pulled into the cycle lane to let the ambulance come down the hill....that wasn't an excuse for you to pull out into the oncoming traffic trying to get ahead of everyone else and the right filter lane.

good job that Asda wagon sounded his horn wasn't it ?? #tool

Never have figured out what the point to all this is.... I like cars, but I don't care about burning away petrol just to make a noise and annoy everyone - I drive them, sensibly on the road, quickly on the track.

That's how you have fun with a car!

I hate to break it to them, but just because you've lowered it and taken the silencer box off doesn't make it a Subaru - it's still a clapped out banger I can out accelerate from the lights by just driving away normally...

Impatient muppet in a red bmw with red front lights (quite cool looking) pushing through traffic and of course no seatbelt :roll:

A few years back, I had an XR2i, it was old when I got it, but, I'd always wanted 1, so I bought it. The windows were black as the ace of spades. No-one knew it was an old fart of a woman driving it. I used get boy racers level up with me at traffic lights, they'd wind their windows down and rev the balls off their Saxos. I would open the dfrivers window and look at them. They were so shocked at seeing an old fat bird behind the wheel, I just used be able pull away normally, leaving them sat there. I loved that car, shame I killed it.

When it rains why do a lot of motorists in Stafford not put their lights on? About 4 in 10.

Every other taxi did not have lights on yesterday.

I never put the film on the windows, soon removed it when I had keep openinjg the window to see if owt were coming.
I did get pulled however for the lights. The bloke who owned it before me, had put blue lights on it. (exhaust pipe, washer jets), I didn't know at the time, that this is illegal. I got pulled over in Stone by a really nice policeman. He said that he would have given me a ticket if he hadn't been in such a good mood that morning. The lights were disconnected within 10 minutes of our conversation.

Couple of traveller caravans parked up at Trentham Gardens roundabout blocking a lane early this morning, whilst their owners were having a laugh and a joke, oblivious to the mayhem they were causing.

Made me think of this for some reason.

Oh, so you are not aware that using your lights has a direct cost effect on your household electricity bill.
Much like the indicators on Beemers and Audi's.
