Thickets on the road thread

Figured it was you based on your ’Tallica t-shirt with all the holes in.

Or not signal at all , which is what I see more often.

Holes? That’s what band patches are for 😉😅

Cunts not giving ‘the wave’

My favourite is the cunts who blatantly pull out in front and then wave thanks knowing full well that you didn’t give any indication that they could pull out in front.

Witnessed a lady yesterday driving a Merc in the middle lane on the M4 doing 50 while she was being under/ overtaking by everybody. She was completely oblivious to what she was doing. It’s dangerous.

Dubman Unlike veering across the carnage way at high speed, tailgating, or forcing people in between cars that were travelling at the legal speed limit and maintaining a safe stopping distance.

Basically I hate every driver on the road except me.

Those fuckers who can’t park properly in a supermarket carpark wind me right up.

Rather than hold anyone up going into a space or leaving one, I just do lazy cunt’s parking, that is aim for the place where you can just drive forwards through one space and face forwards and outwards in the second space. Job done. Even if I have to walk a bit further to the shop.

bosstrabs

Burds taking about twenty minutes to do a parallel park in front of you, in a narrow road with no passing space.

Then getting all flustered and staring at you as though you ‘put them off’ by waiting behind them.

Rag week useless driving sluts.

Lol

My Mrs.

Literally the most nerve racking experience if I have to sit in the passenger seat, driving to close, speeding, not changing gear, the list goes on

I’d rather go to the dentist for a root canal

I just don’t get the mindset when they park then get out and realise they’ve gone into two parking bays and think it ok and walk off.

I fear I am guilty of the middle lane thing on motorways. The first lane is too slow, the fast lane full of cars doing 80mph plus, so the middle lane just feels right. However, I always pull over and I’m not sitting in it doing 50 or anything. Am I in the wrong?

One should keep left unless one is overtaking.

If that’s what you’re describing above sound la about right

No, the people that have this obsession with getting back to the left hand lane are the most entertaining on the road. They seem to be obsessed with it, but have no problem driving over the speed limit, veering across the carriageway, cutting in front of people with this self righteous obsession that they’re doing the right thing. They ignore that people should move into the middle lane at entrances and exits to motorways, or that you can overtake more than one vehicle at a time and veering in front of people isn’t returning to the lane when it is safe to do so. What’s even worse is when they think that they should force people driving at the speed limit into a slower lane because of their desire to drive over the speed limit. Anyone that has done any advanced driver training, even police driver training will know that they tell you to drive in the middle lane when there is no traffic on the road and move to the left only when a faster vehicle is coming up behind and overtaking. That doesn’t apply to bellends driving at 100 mph, flashing their lights or tailgating.

I was on the A530 between Nantwich and Crewe last week and got cut up by a Jeep being driven at high speed on the wrong side of the road. The driver was an angry looking chap in a vest sat beside his equally angry looking other half. There were two children in the back who were both crying. All I heard the driver shout was ‘get put of my way you flaming galaa!’ but in an estuaries accent, which I found rather bizarre. He looked really cold.

Mad_Cyril i feel that this rule probably worked in the 50s when there was no traffic, but just doesnt equate to modern Britain. I drive on the M25 twice a week and there is no way the cars could all keep left, it’s gridlock already

I drive a lot less nowadays, so barely give a fuck any more when I do.

BUT, if there’s space, you should stay left unless you’re overtaking. If that’s not possible then fair enough, if it is possible and you elect to avoid, then you’re (not you personally) a cunt.

As a general principle, it works. Unless you’re a cunt 😂

Mad_Cyril

whatever Do you mean at junctions?

Possibly, haven’t read the Highway Code since I passed my test, just have some vague recollection of reading in a paper.

Running people over seems a lot less satisfying if they have right of way.
