JamesP_81 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Turning left out of shopping centre car park, big people carrier coming down the street indicating left, so I decide to make a move (I know, you're not supposed to move until you see their wheels turning) as there was another car behind them going straight on, and of course I couldn't wait. Fat f****** sailed straight on, fortunately I was able to stop, continuing to indicate left causing much confusion to other road users. Turned off their indicators just before they were actually turning left, turning them on just in time to turn left. C*****.I never take indicators, lights flashing, hand signals etc as any kind of confirmation that the driver is going to turn at the junction before me for this very reason. Same as never assuming the c*nt flying up to a junction joining the road I'm on is actually going to stop at the give way sign. Far too many cockwombles that found their driving licence in a cornflake packet out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can they not just wait 5 seconds until you’ve passed then they’ll have all the time in the world to drive like an idiot? I just think they don't bother checking their mirrors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think they won't be able to stop, regardless of their intention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMusic Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Me and my two kids nearly cleaned out by an old git who seemed to think it wasn't necessary to look left before turning right onto the A82 in Dumbarton. He was in a white Ford coming onto the A82 from Argyll Avenue. The southbound carriageway was empty so he decides to come out to turn right. Every sane person, of course, stops in the gap in the central reservation to wait for the northbound traffic to clear before moving out. Not this buffoon - just kept going and turned onto the northbound carriageway with me doing around 35-40 mph about 10 yards from the gap. I have no idea why I didn't smack into him - the brakes are obviously a lot better than I thought. I blasted the horn at him and there wasn't even an acknowledgement that he'd done anything wrong. The muppets are out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Various times coming back from Paris today, c***s leaving their indicators on all over the place. Outside lane, middle lane, inside lane. Just leaving them on with no intentions of changing. Very infuriating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think these people have any awareness of the queues they create. 45mph in a 60 zone and they also brake for absolutely no reason. I don't understand why they brake when they see a car coming in the opposite direction 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 My issue with a lot of drivers is the lack of appreciation that they’ve done wrong. Everyone makes mistakes, it happens. I’ve done it for sure and immediately apologised for misjudging something. Those who just toddle along unaware of what’s happened are the issue. I’ve never made a mistake twice in the same area for example, I’ve learnt, but no doubt they’ll carry on and just keep doing it day on day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That applies to just about anything you care to mention day to day. It's never anyone's fault these days. A lot of people find it very difficult to look at themselves and their actions and go "that was my fault". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The muppets are out there. Had similar. Virtually side by side with an old guy in a two lane section, left lane turns left, right goes right, at the end. I could see through his back windows to give you an idea of how close we were, my car is a burgundy colour and it was midday. Halfway down he swings left and swaps lanes. No indication, no apology, nothing, I'm still utterly convinced he had no idea I was even there. The lack of accident there was entirely down to how good the brakes were, and the fact old drivers are constantly doing this shite around me so I'm wary of them now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
