Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

Which would make the best driver, a border collie or a king Charles spaniel ?

Just wondering......

44 seconds in.., I was walking close with my 5 month old son.

3:17 in, always happens at the Windmill roundabout. Came home from work yesterday, not only did some knob pull out in front of us, they then went on to block the exit to the Doxey Road.

Its a bmw, come on. If i were driving instead of the mrs i would have found a way to squeeze in next to it cus i love doing that. Really annoys them when they have to get in via the passenger side.

In Cannock yesterday morning, I found myself in the wrong lane and I cut a range rover up. I was in the wrong but he sped up to make sure I cut him up. He beeped, gesticulating, I gesticulated, he then overtook me, slammed his brakes on and got out and came running towards my car furious. I reversed the hell away he stood their swearing, fists clenched before finally getting back in and driving away.

I'd have rang the police however I don't suppose they would do anything, I had a Porsche keep breaking in front of me then speeding off and stopping and driving and stopping nearly causing a pile up on the way to lichfield he then did the same to an elderly couple. I was really shaken up I called the police I had his registration it was a private one and they just told me it would be my word against his so they wouldn't be perusing it. That was the day I have up on the police and realised they are not interested in minor incidents.

I ♥ cryptic crosswords
Turn off any in car audio

Raise an apologetic hand but do not make eye contact

Ensure car doors are locked

We have no idea who we are driving alongside or what is happening in their lives at any given moment

A couple of years ago Gramaisc said:
I had a similar occurrence in Dublin a couple of years ago. Two, rather obvious, 'dealers' in a black Lexus gave me abuse for having driven correctly when they weren't.

Three days later, they were both shot dead whilst sitting in the same car.

Obviously, the two events were not connected.

I was pretty fearful in all honesty, he seemed ridiculously angry considering the crime.

I have come to the conclusion that there are a small minority of drivers who drive around looking for excuses to wave their arms and use lights and horns. When you do come across one its best to smile, wave politely and then ignore them.

Could you just imagine the nutty Stone Road cyclist in a car?

Just followed a bloke from the Motorway at Stoke to Newcastle and he committed some of the things that really boil my piss!! First he carved me up badly coming off the roundabout, then when the traffic was reduced to 1 lane from 2 he flew up the lane closing and at the top 'expected' to be let in. I let him in and not a thanks was seen. All really simple things, but it's sometimes the small things that make driving more pleasant. :(
