i was traveling out of barrow on a massive wide rd in my old mk6 8:00 one morning. there was a long line of trffic stuck behind some woman who couldn`t over take this fork lift so sat in the middle of the rd.i followed for a while before i got pissed off (believe me dont take long) so i indicated, pulled out and at 60 passed the line of traffic most of whom moved over some even flicked the left inicator to let me pass.

just as i drew level with the back of this silly bitches car she decides shes gonna go and pulls out right in front of me sending me skidding right, then left as i tryed to correct it. how i dint hit the cars commin the other way i`ll never know. i finnishised up in the back of this 20 tonne forklift and i had no seat belt on. when the police arrived they said....! you should of just hit her.
as it was i hit the fork lift trying to avoid her so its my fault. and did me for a boarderline tyre even thought at least five witnesses say she caused it. two of them even had her by the throat.

the woman said "oh i saw you i just didnt think you were going that fast"
i wasnt you silly cow but you were doing 10 mile an hour and by the time you did your hair, make up and pulled out i was in your chuff.
morale of the story
JUST f*** HIT EM

i could be on this thread all night

o an worst to get stuck behind its gotta be coat hanger man on the motorway they love there brakes they do

As DOL said (as I was penning this post, whilst at the same time as trying to show my missus how to use her coffee machine) Don't you just love it when you're fully loaded and as you slow down for a junction (motorway exit, roundabout etc.) a BMW nips in front of you and slams his brakes on. Now, even though you left a safe stopping distance, which he has now nicked, try arguing that to the insurance company when you rear end him.

All in all, through no fault of your own, you could end up with increased insurance premiums, a fine and points for careless drving and last but not least the obligatory charge of GBH for trying to teach the winker some manners. :twisted:

I hate people who drive at 40mph everywhere, including 30 zones, and have to brake everytime they see the slightest corner of which you can quite safely go around it at 70mph!!

god you should try living here most people have never seen a motorway and have no idea about how not to be a burden to other motorists, they just drive round like there the only ppl on the rd.
most don't understand how a box junction works let alone a yellow box junction. f**kin coffin dodgers. i think mikeouk will back me up on that one, he lives near me.
the A590 (the only rd in and out of Barrow for 50 mile) is littered with knob heads that drive down the outside lane of the few duel carriageways at 40 braking all the time for non corners and if you even dare to try and over take them in a transit they take it personally and just speed up, cut you off and then call ME the w***. you pull in behind and they slow again. i cover the whole of the north and there is just nowhere like this.
there has been 740 casualtys in 5 years one of the highest in the contry and every one of them caused by dicks who cant drive.
they all blame the road but i have driven the full length many a time, very early in the morning hardly dripping below 110. and never once crashed

this gives me an idea for a post

Tonight, driving back from the wirral, with a decent load on = 8boxes of books, three chairs, two large lpg canisters my daughter, two prams, and a selection of other items.. I was NOT impressed just coming out of bangor to get pulled out on by another tranist van.. who then drove at 30 miles an hour in a 50 zone.. Not only did I have to break, for the first time in a 70 mile trip. I try not to use my break more than I have too, I was then forced into going up a hill in first, as the **** wouldnt let me past, so as he was crawling.. so did I!.....

I dont care who over takes me, pulls infront of me, makes me need to slow down.. but make me BREAK!... ARGH!!!... I will let anyone infront of me, as long as I dont need to use break and change gears!

two things get right up my nose

1)getting stuck behind w*****s in 50mph roadworks in the average speed check doing 40mph even in the outside lane not overtaking anyone.and they just come past you 5 seconds earlier doing 90.
2)front foglights on.whats all that about eh???.going up and down the a1 between newcastle and edinburgh most nights doing me trunk,why do people deem it necassary to blind oncoming traffic with badly out of line front foglights on.i main beam them personally and when i flick me switch all me spotlights on me truck light up like daytime.they then have the cheek to flash me!!!!.is it me??

I particularly hate people who indicate to turn left into a (normal-sized) side road, then swing way out to the right as they're making the turn. These are drivers of small family cars I hasten to add - NOT artic drivers! :x

Living and working in the wye valley and forest of dean, most of my time is spent stuck behind or overtaking idiots that travel at 35 mph in national speedlimit breaking for every single bend (a frequent ocurence!) or even cars on the other side of the road. Most of these drivers then take great exception to being overtaken. :mrgreen:

Couple this with the idiots who wait at the head of the roundaout without pulling out whilst they fidle with the satnav or check the map!

The worst for me was a merc driver who was in the outside lane M56 trying to come off at runcorn and as i was along side him with a car in front he couldn't so decided to slam on his anchors and tried to swing in behind me so fast that he didn't realise i had my car trailer on the back and ended up half on my trailer whilst sending me sideways. !!!! He said he didnt see it when the police came! It's 15 ft long and is shiny as a button!Nevermind though ened up with a nice new one!
