Witnessing the speed of motorists on Tesco car park last night - Astonished! All ages and types of car. No idea of speed limits and common sense.

Whenever I see that there is a new post in this thread, I have to check in case it is about me.

Saw a couple of yoofs in Corsas driving round with tea trays under their back wheels there once, a few years ago.

Even in tonight's weather - people managing to get in the car and driving without putting lights on, gone 6pm! YES 6PM!
Wouldnt it alarm you that the car in front of you "Isn't very illuminated"?

At the other end of the spectrum, I nearly had my eyes burned out last night by people driving round with full beams and fog lights... why can none of them find the happy medium the rest of us manage of simply turning their normal headlights on???

Because they are TAPS.

Many years ago I took part in a tea tray race (on private land!), though we did it in mud.

Is it me, or was Stafford full of more box junction ignorers and red light runners than normal today?!?
In a relatively short trip, I saw at least a dozen cars run red lights and every junction I tried to cross when my lights turned green was blocked by someone who'd driven in (most likely through the changing red light) with no hope of driving out the other side...

Don't know about Stafford, but Eccleshall was a nightmare this morning at around 10ish. Had 1 old bat doing a u turn at bottom end of the High Street, down by the church. Gave me such a queer look when I slammed me brakes on and blasted her with the horn, either that or it was the gobfull I gave her and the hand signals? Then driving back thru this evening at 6, it was just utter chaos.

Oh my goodness, that really WAS me! I wasn't the old bat in the morning but I was part of the chaos at exactly 6pm. I needed to do a u-turn my the church but in my defence, I achieved this by turning left opposite the tennis club and then swinging straight back out to take people by surprise.
Did you see the cyclist with the rubbish lights? I was undecided whether his batteries were failing or he was just a total numpty.

Idiots don't have money? What about the members of the current cabinet?

They are most definitely not the best cars. They're very nice cars, mine is a great mile muncher. Dull as dishwater, though.
