People who should be taken off the road...

[mr steev]

BMWs. Don't those things have speedos?

I was actually stuck behind a BMW yesterday... I guess it must've been his dad's cos he was leaving a massive gap from the car in front of him, was weaving all over the place at the slightest sign of a drainage cover or pothole, and didn't go over 25mph

 

[Spymaster]

do you mean pedestrians who have already started crossing the side road?

Of course not. Herbsman said "give way", which means to allow those on the pavement to cross. Obviously those already in the road you slow to let across. However if the driver is indicating correctly the pedestrians would be careless to find themselves in that situation. Crossing a side road ped's should remain on the pavement until it's safe to cross and that includes looking for cars turning in if you're at a junction.

What would you do? Run them over so your precious rear end does get violated?

See above.

 

[baldrick]

People who organise time trials on the A1.

oh, don't get me started on those fuckers

i'm assuming here that the A1 is particularly busy and/or dangerous...

but where else are road bike riders supposed to ride except on roads?

 

[_pH_]

A1 is pretty much a motorway. Half of it is the A1(M) and IS a motorway. The bits that aren't, are very busy, lots of junctions, fairly narrow lanes and really a daft place to do bike trials

 

[Zachor]

People who drive behind me on motorways and get impatient when I drop below 45mph when fully loaded on a steep hill. There are two other fucking lanes you wankers you don't have to beep and flash your lights.

 

[soulman]

People who don't use their indicators. Your vehicle is fitted with them for a reason, stupid.

Serviced mine today. Complete new housing only 2.50ish. Checked oil in gearboxes and air filter. Now to undo the previous owners very creative headlight wiring.

Just waiting on a fuel pump now it should have arrived on Saturday but the fucking lazy fucking no good postie just shoved a 'not in' note through the door and fucked off without knocking. I could have had it fucking fitted by now. <rant over>

I'd argue that if your vehicle can't maintain a reasonable speed on a hill then it shouldn't be on a bloody motorway.

They do that when they consider the parcel too big or heavy.

I once came out of my front door as the postie walked up the drive to deliver his 'not in' note, and he tried to make out he'd got the wrong house, even though I could see my address on the note.

He eventually admitted he hadn't actually brought the parcel, and I'd have to collect it from the sorting office, though I had to listen to a dozen lame and totally preposterous excuses before he did.

 

[DarthSydodyas]

Popped out for a bite to eat and found two drivers on their mobiles, both approaching a major roundabout. Bluetooth should be a compulsory accessory in cars since these fuck-faces are too busy to get an after market one installed.

No slower than a fully laden truck on a hill.

This parcel wasn't. It was well under a kilo.

I'm going to complain to the local postal managers. This fucker should be sacked as its not the first time we've had this happen. I did notice that the lazy fuckwit didn't put his whole badge number down on the card so that its more difficult to complain. There are lot of angry people on this wankers round who'd be quite happy to see him or her sacked.

 

[pk]

Are we supposed to add to the list?

As much as I feel sorry for them...

Old people who refuse to admit that they are now too old to drive safely.
Going half the speed of everyone else because their reflexes are shot and they can't see that far ahead anymore. Going too slow can cause a danger just the same as going too fast.

Accidents just waiting to happen. One totaled my parked car once cause he was kerb hugging and didn't see my car in time to pull back out and around it.

Just had one coffin-dodger speed thru a zebra crossing inches from my little girl. Stupid bitch, totally oblivious. Take advantage of the free bus pass and Get The Fuck off the road.

Yep. Personally I think everyone should be retested every 3 years with annual retesting for the over 60's.

Absolutely agree.

Case in point: miss pk's dear old grandad.

Lovely man, fought in WW2, serviced Spitfires under fire and was a keen and expert driver, competing in Jaguars and MG's in the 60's.

He was 98 years old - and even after being informed that he had lost his sight due to cataracts, the fuckwits at the DVLA still sent him a replacement driving licence when they all went plastic.

Sunday riders?

Hate them...... bunch of twats, i live not far away from rykers cafe, and they're all nutters and completely reckless.........

their only saving grace is that they're on bikes and about 1,000,000 times more likely to die than me

 

[Griff]

So driving home last night, the same cunt in the same red Peugeot comes round the top of a bend and onto my side of the road causing me to slam my brakes.

Two thoughts, get this prick's number or go up to him when he's at a jucntion and ask him why he drives like a cunt.


Cunt.

 

[T & P]

People who stay in the outside lane, see their exit and then blindly cut across several lanes of traffic in order to exit. Without indicating, of course.

I'm now fully prepared for that sort and when I see one trying to sneak in front of me I accelerate to block them. It gives me great pleasure to do so

 

[Upchuck]

Cyclists who run red lights. It's a sign of disrespect to the rules of the road an everyonelse on it, including peds, imo.

Yes, they hold them on the A38 (very similar road, fast, motorway in all but name) as well.


I'm pro-cyclist to the hilt, but there are limits, especially when it is for sport rather than actually reducing car traffic.

 

[fredfelt]

The owner of the Landrover Discovery parked down a near by street with a sticker on the car window 'Action on Asthma' - displayed apparently without any irony.

 

[haZe36]

I was mulling this bit over only the other day, definitely think it's got something going for it!

Middle-lane drivers hoggers, you're not too fast/important to use the inside lane when it's empty.

Front fog-lights in clear conditions, punishable further when combined with using only sidelights. Greater still when used without any other light at all.

Mobile phone users to serve a temporary driving ban. Serial abusers to be flogged

I'll leave it there, before it turns into a rant/pet hate list!

Nope, all completely valid and rational hatred of what some people do on the road.

 

[Wolveryeti]

People who complain about cyclists jumping red lights. If they're that easily wound up by trivial things, they can't be trusted in charge of a vehicle that causes thousands of deaths a year.

That's rubbish - I've seen cyclists fly past me (waiting in the cycle lane at the lights), then have to brake hard and/or weave all over the road to get beyond the lights. If they can't wait a coupla minutes for them to change instead of causing chaos they shouldn't be fucking riding a bike. Cunts.

...and fucking whipped to an inch of their lives.

Driving through a little villiage this morning on my usual route to work and some fucking cunt in a red hatchback comes round a blind bend on the fucking other side of the road doing about 45 mph overtaking two kids on their bikes. What the fuck?

He'll be one of those people who think they "know best" when it comes to deciding safe speed limits.

Sadly, there's an awful of of those cunts about.

And then there's the fucking middle aged idiots on superbikes... oh, and wanker cyclists who blast through zebra crossings when people are half way across.

i'm a cyclist, and there have been quite a few times recently when i've narrowly avoided having a collision with other cyclists when they have ignored red lights whilst i've been going on my rightful way.

I'm a cyclist. I fucking love cycling, me.

I'd like to see the law changed to make it permissable for pedestrians to attempt to knock off cunts who jump reds on a bike. I'm fed up of having to look left and right before crossing, WHEN THE FUCKING GREEN MAN IS LIT. In the very near future I'm going to accidentally polearm one of the bastards off their bike.
