Plenty of people drive around that as if they have never encountered a roundabout before. Nah it was the one further along the bypass near the hospital (Bankfield?). Whitletts is wild for people either running the lights or just driving through it in a straight line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps before anyone (able bodied) is allowed to drive a car they should have to pass a CBT and be on a small motorcycle or moped for a year first. It might teach better road sense - especially on difficult roads. Just because it says “national speed limit” doesn’t mean you have to hit it and go even faster. Saying that there are some fcuking lunatic bikers out there - especially those in their 50s riding powerful motorcycles way beyond their capabilities. Anyway I’ve now qualified for free bus pass. Ditch the car and the bike! Motorcyclists thinking its acceptable hugging the white lines in the middle of the road going round a corner with their head hanging over the wrong side of the road can be entertaining. You'd think they'd fully appreciate how vulnerable they are on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know the exact stats but I’m sure many are as a direct result of very poor road position and speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory is middle age crisis folk buying fast bikes and only taking them out for the odd dry day at the weekend so they never get used to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonytoons Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Regular offender. Can't be arsed parking in a more sensible place and having to walk an extra 150 yards. Also they often park so close to legally parked cars they have no chance of getting out. The pics don't really do it justice. That's a t-junction they are over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that’s an F10 BMW, which was originally equipped with runflat tyres, that may not work. Just saying, but a white van making a tight left turn could leave a lovely stripe down the side though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 What are people’s thoughts on drivers on the motorway who go start speeding to overtake a car only to fire back across them because they are about to exit at the junction a few 109 yards away? Why not just sit behind that car for another few seconds and exit the motorway sensibly? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyAnchor Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I have been between jobs for a few weeks so have been doing the food delivery door dash as I look around. Quite enjoying it but see so much craziness as I drive about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishBhoy Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Glasgow Airport taxi drivers must intentionally drive like complete and utter fannies, there is no other explanation for it. Was in the inside lane of the M8 approaching the slip road where traffic from the airport merges on, and spotted one of the white Airport taxis about 3/4 of the way up the slip road, but going roughly half the speed I was doing. Even though there was no need for me to do this, I slowed down slightly and pulled over to the middle, allowing him to merge in to a clear lane. With him on my inside and me in the middle lane a couple of car lengths back, I started to accelerate in order to overtake. For reasons that I still can’t fathom, and with no cars in front of him, he pulls out in to the middle leaving about a foot between us. I genuinely don’t think the guy even knew I was there, and just decided that with an empty motorway he was going to saunter along in the middle lane. This is a person who drives for a living and has absolutely no idea how a motorway works, and doesn’t feel the need to look around him to check for other vehicles when changing lanes. I see these white airport taxis regularly where I stay and they are a genuine danger to life. Edited April 27, 2023 by IrishBhoy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonytoons Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Taxi drivers are often the worst. There was a new mini-roundabout placed in our town where a t-junction used to be. The taxi driver went straight over as if it was still the old t-junction with a car coming from his right. When I asked why he didn't wait he stated mini-roundabouts don't count.
