I don't know about anyone else but i am seriously losing it with some drivers on the roads!

I'm not normally a angry or aggressive but my god i'm slowly changing:growlmad:

OH had someone go into back of him this morning on the motorway, the driver should be lucky i wasn't there otherwise i would have gone off it!

Not many drivers seems to give a care in the world when they are out, people reckon they 'own' road only their rules apply!

On saturday morning driving down the motorway OH pulled into second lane didn't do a thing wrong, yet this other driver must have found something wrong, what did the prick decide to do when we were doing 70, push us off back into first lane, which we didn't kept going then got in front of us and break!?!?

Got to have some serious mental issues to to want to do this stupid patheic attacks.
Same thing happened me couple months back only on dual carriage way proper insane man trying to run me off the road i had kids in the back.


Some may say don't let it get to you, while some things you can do this but when you go out in your car and every time 'you' have to do something to avoid some other scum hitting you, you cant just let that go.

:( driving was a pleasure now its just a nightmare.
 
I can't stand people that insist they must do 300 billion miles an hour on the motorway here just because it's legal....I sometimes feel someone is going to go in the back of me just because I'm doing 100 and they're doing triple that!
 
Don't get me started:haha:

The other day we were coming back from Asda, oh was driving I was in the back with LO. We were on a busy dual carriageway in the left hand lane minding our own business when this idiot in a van decided to cut across us without indicating because he'd spotted a parking space:dohh: I was LIVID we were so close to hitting him. Some people are just oblivious:nope:

I get so angry when I come across idiot drivers when I have LO in the car. If anything ever happened to her because of some twat who can't respect other drivers and follow the rules of the road I really don't think I'd be able to control myself.
 
I am normally a calm person but dumb drivers know how to make me snap. :nope:
 
this past 6 months i have never had so many near misses! drivers are shocking!
 
There are some absolute idiots on the road, some downright dangerous who, you are quite correct, do not seem to think the rules apply to them or alternatively simply do not care that there are rules at all.

However, I'm not a perfect driver - I've made mistakes on the road... Crikey my other half has (he has a conviction for dangerous driving) so generally I try to stay calm with the majority of other drivers and not throw stones in my glass house.
 
i actually hate driving these days, i hate it!!!

it stresses me out so much :/

people just drive like nobs & act like they own the road, you always get some idiot flying upto you then slam their breaks on... why?!!!

xx
 
pedestrians arent much better i was driving oh's parents tonight, going right on a round about a guy looked straight at me and crossed the road making me hit the breaks :dohh:
im no saying im a good driver or a perfect driver as everyone makes mistakes but some people are just down right dumb...

I agree, everyone makes mistakes, it's natural and sometimes people do, in cars, make errors. One of my pet hates is people who can't or don't use their indicators correctly at roundabouts, however, I have occasionally caught myself forgetting to indicate too. We are all human.

As a driver I never stress at or about other people's driving, it is out with my control and if I let it bother me I would spend my whole working week stressing out over things I can't change
 
ive just started driving again im used to idiots in cars i refuse to drive in rush hour or school hour, its just asking for an idiot close encounter, but i forgot how stupid cyclists are! zig zaging along the road and randomly turning right infront of your car with no warning whatsoever! they need insurence! one of them was weaving in and out of traffic and hit my step dads car leaving a huge scratch down his brand new car....the cyclist admitted it was his fault yet funnily enough had no way of paying for the damage.
 
I was ranting about this the other day. There's been so many times idiots and their stupid driving have nearly caused me an accident but I'm such a good driver (touch wood) I've reacted quickly and properly to avoid them, but they all seem to be in the same area, an area with a big reputation for con men that do it intentionally to then blame you and then get insurance pay outs. It's been in the papers apparently one of them got caught when they did it to a driving instructor who had CCTV fitted. They always have a passenger in their car and target people on their own, usually women.

The thing that bugs me though is people cutting you up on roundabouts and islands! It's happened to me twice today. We're waiting to go onto the roundabout and theirs 2 lanes, left for left turn and straight on, and right for turning right and this douche bag decides to come down the middle create his own lane and cut everyone else up because he's going straight on. The other is a tiny roundabout that's clearly marked left lane is left only. There's 2 massive signs next to the road as you approach and this stupid women went in the left lane next to me to go straight on and missed me by mms when I braked. I honestly think sometimes having to retake your test every so many years and having it cost less to do it is a good idea.
 
One thing that annoys me is when people come flying out of junctions at 30mph without even stopping to look, forcing me to slam on my brakes. I had it done once on a busy 40mph road, a car drove out of a closed junction and when it realised it didn't have room it slammed on blocking my side of the road. They forced me to veer to the wrong side of the road as otherwise we would have crashed, good job the other side was clear!

Really makes me angry when people are in a rush and put others at risk, especially when I have my kids in the car. No matter how much of a rush I'm in I NEVER drive like that, I'm petrified of crashing so I'm always cautious when driving.
 
I had a day yesterday where every driver seemed to want to pull out on me I was amazed I didn't end up in an accident!
I get really bad road rage :haha:
 
Eugh, don't get me started.

This morning I was driving down a dual carriageway approaching a roundabout. I checked to my right on approach and it was all clear.
Some DICK on the left decided to just pull out without even looking as I was coming onto the roundabout- I didn't hesitate for a second so he couldn't of thought I was letting him go and i'm 99.9% convinced his head didn't even turn to check for me. He drove off- I pulled over and the car that was behind me did too as he nearly crashed into me from me slamming on. The girls were in the back too so god knows what I would of done to that ******* if anything happened to them :nope:. FOB is a police officer and tells me about some of the hideous things he goes to- the latest being a 18 year old killed on his birthday because some twat in a Range rover went through a red light. :growlmad:

I get people make mistakes- but some people are just bad drivers and need to sit down and re read their highway codes. I don't let silly things like indicators bother me because we are all human...but dangerous driving? That's a whole different kettle of fish to me.
 
I don't drive but I'm deffinatly a back seat driver :haha:

Last week we went to bluewater shopping centre, got back to the car about 9:30pm there was only a couple of cars left and a car with a group of teens (well tbh they didnt look old enough to be out of nappies let alone drive :haha:) speeding round the car park doing wheel spins trying to impress the girls in the back seat.

Anyway they came speeding towards us they JUST missed the back of our car the side Isabelle was on..... I went MAD!! I wound down my window giving them a piece of my mind is an undertstatment! I was fuming :growlmad:

One boy even offered to have a fight with me....bring it on bitch!!

He then started panicing and sped off in the oppersite direction,,, I don't think he expected to me to :haha:

Eugh I saw something similar the other day in the Asda carpark..Only it wasn't nearly empty its leading up to Christmas its constantly pretty busy but at 6pm..Not to mention it was pretty icey as by that time it was in the minus..Packed full and some ass in a corsa decides to come shooting through the straight part of the carpark at no less than 40mph and start dohnutting skidding around on the ice he was inches from hitting a car that luckily wasn't mine and then when he sped off to leave nearly hit a girl at the Zebra crossing! It bugs me when people see young drivers and assume were all terrible but it is douche bages like that that give us all a bad name.
