What is the worst car to get stuck behind ?

[toriitom]

ive even had times where ive overtaken someone, not even gone over the speed limit and as i pull infront of them (i.e a perfectly legal manouver) they start flashing there lights at me

That's when you jam the brakes on

This is another thing that really pi$$es me off; clowns that slam on their brakes because either they think that you are too close to them or you flash at them to get a move on

no mater how slow you are going you will get someone going slower in front of you

[madmark]

i just think driveing is a rat race now its crap ,even lorry drivers are getting worse and coach drivers
as a lorry driver myself you see some bad things!
and whats this jam on your brakes thing that cars like to do ,if it wasnt for my bonus and damageing my truck i would smack them up the arse no problem but then they would get £££££££££££££ for neck injury etc

why do restricted lorrys try to overtake eachouther mosty in front of me

[thought]

My mum's with either of my parents driving it.

My Dad is fairly Slow in his transit now as well... he is 70+ and still a Transit Man!...though swb now days

The front bumper on a Transit is a lot stronger than you think

say you had an in van camera............. and somone in front DELIBERATLY braked as they thought you were too close and you hit them - who's fault would it be

although normally it would be the guy behind, if you had evidence they brake tested you (especially on a motorway) do you think you would get away with it or even knock for knock

[AndyG]

No
As you are supposed to leave enough room




Unless they deliberately just cut infront and did their deed

I pulled out of a junction yesterday (driving turbo diesel peugeot-not slow)
accelerated as hard as I could to the next roundabout where I needed to be inside lane for 3/4 way round exit off it..
look in rear view mirror to find tosspot driving a4 estate who was a SPECK when I pulled out now flashing lights hard at me cause im in the outside of the SINGLE lane less than 150 yards from the roundabout. Then he proceeds to pull straight out to overtake causing an ARTICULATED LORRY coming the other way to dive into the gutter to miss him and me to have to swerve back as tight as I could to the car on my inside who was waiting to turn left off the roundabout, then cuts straight across to turn left off roundabout..... was beside him for maybe 5 seconds but the invite to pull over for a chat about careful driving fell on deaf ears cause he shot off like a rocket....

i would go for knock for knock. ...if you could,nt have him for stupid braking.
but then as andy said , should not be that close

[AndyG]

Knock for knock

a lwb mk 2 cruisin around at 40 mph and 30 on country lanes never in a hurry

[thought]

I was told that you flash your lights to let someone in... Oh well, guess it must be the north / south divide on driving :d

do you not think overtaking is a forgotten art ?

Yes

and yes the A9 is bad used to commute every day from here to Inverness and they do not know how to overtake or leave sufficient gaps for those wishing to overtake. If you are approaching a slower moving vehicle but you do not want to ovetake leave a gap so that more confident motorists can get away.

I remeber a couple of yeas ago (reported in Comercial Motor)a truck travelling at 40 mph (legal limit) on the A9 was pulled over for causing a long tail back of vehicles the police prosecuted the driver for causing an obsruction he told the cops he would drive faster the told him they would then do him for speeding

the worst cars i get stuck behind is the ones with the NO HAND BREAK, high break lights. at junctions, trafic lights. you know the ones, like i said no hand break's so have to keep thay foot on the breaks when thay have STOPED??
blinding the driver who is behind them with big powerfull red lights..
just BAD driving, that is all it is.
