Spellczech Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I have loads but one each so here goes: People who chuck empty cans out of their windows on motorways and dual carriageways. Had to watch in horror today as a big BMW SUV in front flattened a drinks can and then frisbee'd it at me - slammed on the brake even in the heavy rain and it just dipped before my bonnet and thumped the underside of the car...

hughesie27 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Folk who don't understand that when a lane is being closed you are still meant to use all of the lane then merge in turn as opposed to creating a 1000+ yard single file traffic jam. Often paired by someone who decides to block the empty lane because they think they know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbert. Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 People that join a motorway at 50mph and expect you to either move out the way or slow down to let them in. The other one is people driving slower than a lorry so the time it takes you to find a gap then pass them only for them to either speed up as your passing or fly past you 2mins later.

Not staying in the right-hand lane when on a roundabout on a dual carriageway.

¼½¾ Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 People who can't understand that you indicate left, not right, before exiting a roundabout. At traffic calming spots, where you have priority, one cheeky bugger decides to nip through and 2 or 3 follow them, meaning you have to stop. Honestly, I'm tempted to hold a screwdriver out of the window as they pass. The 99.9%+ of drivers who don't know, (or is it care?), that when they approach a junction they're supposed to stop for pedestrians who are crossing, or waiting to cross the road they're turning into. Since the Highway Code was updated in January last year, I think 2 drivers have stopped to let me cross. That's all for now, I'm away for a lie-down.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules for using a blue badge say that if the person with the blue badge is the passenger, the driver is only supposed to stop in a disabled space to offload the passenger, park elsewhere, and then return to a disabled space when the disabled person needs to be picked up. I doubt that ever happens. Just something to bear in mind when you're on your gobbing patrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above only applies if the driver intends to stay in the car. But anyway... What has that got to do with cars parked in the disabled bays with no blue badge on display?

The elephant race of two lorries clogging up an entire motorway. Middle lane passive aggressive types. I find that they quite often come back to find that they have a flat tyre. I get the impression that motorists are less patient and more 'ragey' since the pandemic. The one that gets me now is when driving at 20mph in a 20mph zone, particularly on a wider road (which should never have been a 20mph zone - but that's by the by). There will very often be another driver sitting on the rear bumper but sticking out by about a third of the width of the car, waiting for that opportunity to overtake, quite frequently bipping the horn. Somehow that makes my car become a little wider and harder to overtake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing with parent and child spaces. Should we all not have the right to open our doors without someone parking so close you have to enter via the passenger side when returning, or someone dinging your car? Should not all spaces have a 3 foot chevron at the driver's side? I cannot stand that I park on my own away from other cars and whilst I'm in the shop my apparent blue beacon of a car has attracted people who cannot park to line up next to me and my car looks like it has attracted a gang of new friends, or I return to my car to find some driving instructor having his student practice parking with my car as the "obstruction" to be avoided...
