Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

[Trumpet]

The twerp in the black '55 reg Mercedes coming off ASDA car park at 5.30 last night. Straddled both lanes just before the filling station mini island. Right hand lane not moving due to traffic on Queensway parking in the yellow box, left hand lane clear past the filling station but people couldn't get out for at least three changes of lights. Must've been really frustrating for people wanting the left hand lane out.

Not 'driving', but that white 'We Buy Any Car' van that has been parked on Eccleshall Road for the last few days.

Drove round Birmingham today. Saw lots of erratic lane changing, undertaking, non signalling and general poor driving standards. I can understand why though it's a hateful place to drive around.

Following a car today past T K Maxx towards Tesco and at the junction outside the cinema, the car stopped at a red light but then about a minute later inadvertently set off again whilst the light was still very much on red.... god only knows what went through their head.....

Saw someone do the exact same thing yesterday going up the Newport road at Tesco lights. He realised what he had done half way through the manoeuvre and hit the brakes but was already blocking the junction so decided the best thing to do was to keep going. Could've been messy!

Fresh air?

On the way back from the Rangers match and I drive into Gaol Square from Gaol Road and ahead of me is a bloke on a racer who has ridden round the island from Foregate Street direction - not a single light and wearing dark clothing with only a light panel on his top to make him visible. He went through the red light as if to head towards Gaolgate Street but then realised the traffic was gling to set off from the green light so slammed his brakes on. He seemed to shout a few words at passing motorists and a motorcyclist then waited til the traffic stopped. He then set off towards Chell Road - same direction as me but I hit the feeder lane before he got there. Soooooo - I intentionally left no room for him to ride up the inside and unsurprisingly I got a tirade of abuse as he had to stop then ride on the pavement!
If my action of getting him off the road in such a way saved his life and stopped endangering others, my work is done! I just wish such bloody idiots didnt have such a self righteous manner when breaking the law while endangering themselves and others.

Was it an asian looking guy on a green(?) racer, possibly with a D lock in his left hand? If so he can be seen most days on that road, he shouts at cars a lot and occasionally rides up to people and laughs at them. Happened to a girl I was stood at the lights with last week, she had to ask if it was directed at her for any reason!

I've come across him in the past riding on the wrong side of the centre line whilst overtaking cars on the Lichfield Road, forcing oncoming traffic to swerve and yelling abuse to them at the top of his voice. I didn't swerve, which didn't impress him one bit as he had to stop very suddenly to avoid getting squished

Hopefully some HGV will wipe him out one day and do us all a favour. He give cyclists a very bad rep and has no business on the roads.

I'm not too sure on the above but he had lycra gear and a helmet on.
All the gear (almost) and no idea!

"that crazy Asian" was on the roads tonight no lights dressed in black weaving all over the road down forgate street as he got to stone road he decided to cycle down the road the wrong way for approx 20 meters be four turning off.

following todays near miss i dont really want to drive again...wasnt there a scam somewhere where people were forced into crashing into the back of people when coming off roundabouts?

 

[Feed The Goat]

Yes, I have seen the same guy, regularly riding like a lunatic whilst shouting abuse. Somebody needs to have a quiet word with him before someone gets injured.

A couple of years ago a lovely 'chav' at a roundabout let his car roll into mine and tried to claim that I drove in the back of him causing damage that was already there!

My incident happened in Birmingham.

 

[ATJ]

'PI JOB' drove like an ass down A449 tonight. At one point there were two lorries in front of him, one wanting to turn left at the next junction, one wanting to turn right. So he straddled both lanes of the dual carriageway until he decided which one was going to move first.

Ah, Mr S.B. I have faced the wrath of his phlegm as he cycled past me through Martin Street sometime last year. It may seem obvious, but he does have mental health issues. I'm certainly not condoning his actions just merely explaining perhaps why.

 

[Trumpet]

Old dear in an elderly Nissan Micra with no lights on came off ASDA car park last night, straight across the road and hit the opposite kerb. Reversed off and then carried on her merry way still with no lights on. I'm 98 you know!

Just realised I know the bloke, he's been in and out of our place for years. I try and avoid him wherever possible.
