worst road users

The worst road user was some idiot I nearly hit cycling without lights while wearing camouflage that black and white stuff designed for the urban environment worked really well if he hadn't been using his phone wouldn't have seen him at all.
yep see that was actually me.
 
Actually , piss taking aside, the worst I see are the kids riding on unplated bikes and scooters around the streets - we used to does this on waste ground when we were youth but now kids seem to be emboldened to act is a seriously stupid and reckless manner on the streets in a crowded city that impacts everyone
 
They usually have the make and model written on the back, so it's no surprise OU can't identify it, that would require him to open his fucking eyes and look at the world around him!
You'd have to be pretty eagle eyed to spot that from across the street and you have to be interested in the first place
 
I dunno. That's where I got stuck. I thought that was probably a van, but it clashes with my mental pic of a van.

So your idea of a van is something like this:

Right?
 

They are small vans, basically derived from cars with the rear doors and windows replaced by panels and therefore also know as panel vans.

The bigger ones like the A Team's one are Light Commercial Vehicles, but still known as vans, or by their model "Transit", "Traffic", "Hiace" etc ...
 
Hey mauvais I still feel you have missed a few! (just saying like),

If you are gonna drive around in a van, it should be transit sized ones where you can look down on other drivers. It should also be driven windows down, arm rested on sill
with passenger not calling out offensive things at people that catch their eye.

The Peugeot Bipper Tepee is my favourite car-derived-van-derived-car-again.

If you don't know of and to recognise these things, then how the hell are you supposed to enliven an otherwise boring journey by pointing and singing the long established song, 'Bipper Tepee, Bipper Tepee, sha-la-la-la-la-lah'?
 
Sorry mauvais, I think I mislead you. The Suby was meant as the headlamps for beesknees.
Drivers still missed would certainly include Sunday/weekend drivers....
 
Around my area, these bloody ugly things-

Usually driven everywhere on the speed limiter, driver with one hand on the phone, the other hanging out of the window with a lit cigarette. Corners are usually taken at the very extreme of the vehicle's centre of gravity.
 
And if there's ever a vehicle that lurches out of a side turn, into fast moving traffic and then proceeds to potter along at 40 whilst everything else has had to brake heavily, it's one of these-

There are various badges that go on cars to let others know what's what..

I'm learning to drive, so please be considerate of my lack of skills:

I'm a newly qualified driver, so please be aware that my skills may not be as finely honed as a more experienced driver:

Somehow I fluked my test and was granted a license, but still have not got the slightest fucking idea of how to drive:

I remember driving lessons. I managed to tear the front tyre and bash in the wheel rim of my dad's Sierra after hitting a broken drain cover:eek::eek::eek::eek:. Said drain cover was hidden beneath a puddle in a pitch-dark country lane. That was also my first lesson in wheel changing.
 
Them who take up the entire road while swanning along, though their own lane is wide enough to take their whole fat-arse SUV or boat-like estate, and expect everyone else to stop and wait for them to pass. I'm not talking about really narrow or heavily-parked roads, but normal roads with drivers who have no spatial awareness and / or blatantly don't care if they crash into someone else.

Grrr:mad:

Some old boy did that to me last week, coming out of the Jewish cemetery on the A20 straight into 50mph traffic. I'm sure that was the car!!

And it wasn't 40, it was more like 30
 
Tourists can be challenging. No mention of Audi or BMW drivers :confused: nor Chelsea tractors generally?
