Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

Exactly what I expect from someone who cannot believe that anyone right thinking could ever possibly have an opinion different to yours.

Very boring and not worth pandering to any longer.

The worst kind of internet troll. one who believes he holds the moral high-ground.
That different opinion you refer to appear to be condoning Shoes' actions on the road (or otherwise are not prepared to say you don't condone it). You appear, along with others, unprepared to comment on shoes aggression - asking questions of me is a disingenuous tactic to deflect from this point. I don't claim to be a perfect driver, nobody is - but I do recognise situations that I need to learn from on the road, Shoes does not.

Is it national Red Lights Are Optional day today or something? Seemed even worse than usual around town this morning :(

If you saw a blue Fiat driving erratically along Riverway about 10am this morning it was me.

In my defence, I was trying to stop myself from throwing up after one of my dogs had a serious bowel accident on the back seat. :urgh: The smell was horrific and I had to stop at Lloyds Bank car park to clear it up.

I have a poorly pup now though. :(

It would be more unusual to see a car NOT driving erratically along there.

Sorry about your dog, hope he/she gets better soon!

Get well soon, Bart or Woody.

I used to ride a motorbike up that rode almost daily (nightly?) and virtually everyone seemed to think it was OK to use full beam on an oncoming motorbike. If a car was behind me they'd dip their beams, but only when they saw the car. The only option I had was to blind them myself til they got the message, funny thing was then they often beeped at me as if I was in the wrong! (after dipping their own headlights)
I must have told the story about the woman who got out of her car at some roadworks in Eccleshall to tell me to turn my headlight off. I said "Its so people can see me", she said she didn't want to see me. And within 10 minutes had backed into me.

I can well believe that!

I remember sitting behind some nobber in a hairdressers car at some lights, and he kept adjusting his rear mirror to 'flash' me. After about the 5th time I put my headlights onto full beam to make a point, but after dipping them again he still kept doing it. I can only assume he thought I was deliberately blinding him, but that was his fault for being two feet below my headlight!

Some bloke in a Blue Fiat Stilo this morning driving on the wrong side of Eccleshall Road.

He came off the Bristol Street Roundabout and went in the right hand lane (on the wrong side of the road) and drove over the hatched markings and the turning area for McDonalds and carried on down Eccleshall Road in the middle/wrong side of the road until he had overtaken as many cars as he could.

Woman behind me on the slope up to the Sandon Road / Beaconside lights, holding the car in place by deft use of the clutch - so that she didn't have to break off from entering a text on her phone in order to pull the handbrake on.

Now that one WASN'T me!
