Worst Drivers..

frugallass

old people - they don't indicate, they park where they like and they pull out at junctions without looking - they can't even move their arthritic necks to check for other vehicles within a 5 mile radius

yummy mummys - too busy concentrating on getting their sprogs to school / nursery to notice that other people and pedestrians are trying to get on with life too

men over 50 - seem to think that touching bumpers with the car in front is an acceptable way to drive, they have no regard for speed limits and enjoy overtaking on bends

me - if any of the above venture onto the same route as me, god help you

Its not just old people that don't indicate... some folk think that it is beneath them to let others know their intentions...... :rolleyes:

The last survey said that Mums driving their children to school had over taken taxi drivers as being the worst drivers on the road.

That must have been a year ago - has it changed?

Who do you think are the worst drivers? (Apart from Goldspangles and Crabman).

Cheeky so and so, you're lucky that BGs can't tinker with members' profiles otherwise you wouldn't be a "Fantastically Fervent MoneySaving Super Fan" anymore

My pet hate today is young pillocks in peugeot 206's who have no regard for other road users and have only one speed - fast, or attempted fast I should say. Usual loud music blasting so that they are unable to hear emergency vehicles approaching, can't see them either as they are out of their heads on cannabis or something..... and there is always four of them, the two squashed in the back are trying to look cool, but can't quite make it.

Are these the same pillocks who drive with their seats reclined all the way back and are driving literally chest touching the steering wheel????

The driving standard in Northern Ireland is bad, the driving standard in Rep. of Ireland is abyssmal, dare I say it's alot better on the mainland?

I don't understand why so many people get so annoyed by strangers. Driving, even at a very low speed, is faster than you can walk for any length of time.

If you can only drive at 40 mph for a while, then that is ten times faster than you could walk for any length of time. If a traffic jam takes you down to ten miles per hour, then you are still travelling at more than twice what you could walk.

I don't, and will never, understand peoples frustration with traffic jams - if you don't like them then stop driving. Reading a book on a bus or train is a great distraction.

It was a question asked in a light hearted way to let people vent their feelings on other motorists. A bit of fun.
I cant understand why it would annoy someone that much ..........

You would have to prise the steering wheel from my cold dead hands.

I dont like any form of transport that you have to check the seat for "dampness" before you sit down, or have to share the space with inane strangers with screaming brats, sullen teenagers with booming tunes and the inevitable weirdo who sits next to you and proceeds to tell you their entire life story whilst you pretend to be asleep.
