Which road user do you dislike the most ?

[Termite Man]

Just wondering who the most un-popular road users are according to the people of urban .

Poll to follow , you don't have to explain your reasons but it would be good if you could post what you consider your primary form of transport to be

eg. I'm a cyclist and I'm going to vote for other cyclists .

 

[kyser_soze]

BMW, Mercedes and Volvo drivers. They're either overpaid reps driving like twats or valiumed-up housewives attempting to see over the steering wheel

 

[cesare]

I said pavement cyclists, but actually the ones that I really hate the most are estate agents in branded minis speeding everywhere around here.

 

[Griff]

I think the days of shit Volvo drivers have long since gone.

My vote goes to X5 driving mothers with their precious kids driving them down the mile to school.

Woodford is excellent for seeing this particular example of road-user.

 

[Griff]

Why are SUV drivers linked to sports-car drivers in the poll.

 

[butchersapron]

Why no bono in the poll?

 

[Boycey]

your mum

 

[Badgers]

Shit poll is shit for me

I hate them all when they have no respect for other road/pavement users
Tend not to bother me when they have respect for other road/pavement users

 

[subversplat]

Another vote for your common-or-garden Class B car driver. I picked estates to cover your traditional BMW esque King of the Road but I'd happily extend this to Nissan Micras, Ford Kas and Mini Cooper S convertibles that have never seen the fun side of 40mph.

 

[T & P]

Blimey. It seems in order to ask this kind of question, the OP should have needed a poll with 20 options at least...

 

[roryer]

I think that we have this poll shows how poor our transport planning is in the UK. I love all road users in Holland.

 

[T & P]

If I had all the options at my disposal I would have voted for:

- pedestrians who cross where they shouldn't, when they shouldn't, and/or without checking for two wheelers (so most of the fuckers)

- drivers of 4x4s for urban use

- to a lesser degree, drivers of estate cars which sole use seems to be the school run with one or two children at the most in it

- cyclists who jump red lights when cars are coming their way

- and above all, middle lane hoggers. The fucking cunts

Spot on there, T & P.

Cunts, the lot of 'em.

Black Cab drivers. As bad as normal car drivers are, cab drivers are (with only one or two exceptions) far worse.

 

[weltweit]

People who pull out or go to make a turn without looking, and without seeing me.

I have had cause to make an emergency stop twice this week, once earlier today when someone pulled out right in front of me.

Makes my blood boil!

 

[weltweit]

People seem to forget that it is

look right, look left, look right again ... !!

If people remembered that there would be less accidents.

Cabbist!

See I avoided the obvious one here.

The SUV sports car thing was because I didn't have enough poll options

 

[Termite Man]

Why am I the only person to have voted cyclists , where are the resident cyclist haters or have they decided to keep a low profile for a bit

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Now that I'm learning to drive, pedestrians who walk out into the road at inappropriate locations.

I have been doing this all my life. I finally realise how much grief I've been causing people for so long.

I apologise.

 

[moose]

Because I dislike moped drivers more All the idiocy of a normal cyclist, but at a higher, more wobbly speed and less appropriate clothing.

The cyclists I really hate aren't in the poll - the Sunday cyclists who ride 5 abreast in country lanes in scary clothing. I don't really see any other type because the roads round here aren't cycle friendly and it's hilly.

 

[Kanda]

Drivers of 4x4's for Urban use...

Are they supposed to park them out of town and get the train to their car? Or is it ok to drive it through town to get out?

 

[IC3D]

I vote urban SUV drivers *shudders* I actively get in the way of them if at all possible on my bike. Black cab drivers although sometimes moody have taken me and my bike home when punctured or feeling lazy which is a credit to their sympathy/desire of money, big up dem!

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Cyclists. Getting in the way of my car with their silly leg-powered dawdling machines. In their stupid helmets.

 

[kittyP]

Pedestrians - as every one is a pedestrian from time to time and is likely to wander aimlessly while I am trying to get to work/get home.

 

[pogofish]

Other - I save my dislike for the selfish, inconsiderate, innattentitive and incompetent pricks whatever their form of transport.

 

[pogofish]

I think the days of shit Volvo drivers have long since gone.

Dunno, I've seen three absolute cretins in Volvos who fully vindicate the stereotype recently.

Oh abd a car transporter full of brand new Volvos in police traffic car colours.

I would vote SUV drivers but you have lumped them together with sports drivers, so I'm not voting

Sportscar drivers tend to settle into several groups: fantastically wealthy playboy wankers, who are utter twats and drive like dickheads; reasonably wealthy middle aged men who at least have a good twenty plus years of experience behind them; and enthusiasts who have sunk every last penny into their dream car and tend to drive ... enthusiastically but are usually quite staid drivers overall because they're shitting themselves about writing off their pride and joy

SUV drivers are just complete wankers though. Why the fuck do you need a car the size of a fucking bus, you surplus cunt? And unlike a bus (buses tend to have quite tight turning circles since the front wheels can turn to a very large angle) you can't park the fucker because it's an impractical piece of shit. Not to mention the fact the closest you probably came to having the thing offroad is parking on the gravelled bits in car parks when you can't find a space big enough for your humongous surplus Cuntmobile

Impossible! You couldnae hae seen me, I've no been to Furryboots City in it yet ...
