Well out of the two, I'd say that Goldie would be the worst driver. In Scotland 99% of drivers are much more relaxed than down south. Therefore a relaxed crap driver is likely to worst than a plain normal crap driver (from Essex).:D

your pushing it.
my driving isnt restricted to just scotland, they let me out sometimes.;)

i think you have 2 conclusions jeanie, the first being the parents on the school run are by far the worst drivers in the land. it seems theres nothing more important in the world than getting the kids to school at the exact same time as everyone elses.

and the best drivers (least mentioned in this thread anyway) would have to be the van driver.whether it be the delivery man or the service engineer, the joiner or the ice cream man they seem to fair the best in your survey.

Caravanner's, why anyone would want to tow a naff B&B behind them is beyond me, stop in a chuffing hotel.

I could understand someone buying a winnebago but a caravan never.

and while I am at it, the people who drive those fiat people carriers that look like deformed dolphins, they are always terrible drivers, who dont have a clue what is going on around them.

ahh that reminds me... motorway drivers in the slow lane who absolutely refuse to move over to an empty middle lane to let vehicles on the slip road join.

we do not have to move and i will not move for any one coming down a slip road ,thats what the slip road is for ,to match the speed of the carriage way or to give way to the carriage way not for the main carriage to move out of your way .
sip way is a give way not right of way
highway code rule 259
say nothing about moving over for you

Drivers who use the country roads as a short cut, but still expect to be doing 60/70mph.

if the road is national speed limit then the 60 mph is ok.

For me, in no particular order:

1. Centre lane owners club members - will refuse point blank to move into the LH lane as there is a car in there doing 2mph less than them on the horizon. So to overtake them, I have to change lane 4 times.

2. The 42mph everywhere brigade (except on the motorway where they become (1) above). Usually with a sticker in the back window saying "30mph in Worcestershire villages".

3. People with a sign saying "Caution: Show Cats in Transit" in the back window - why should anyone modify their driving style simply because they have a pampered moggie in the boot? What do they need to be cautious about?

4. People who turn their fog lights on at the merest hint of mist, and still have them on 2 weeks later, whilst everyone behind has a hole burnt in their retina.

5. People who drive around with front fog lights on regardless of the conditions because "it looks cool".

6. People who chuck their cigarettes out of the window when I am behind them on the bike - even worse at night for visual effects.

7. The "I can stop anywhere I want provided I put my hazard lights on" brigade.

8. People who fail to learn how to load or tow caravans correctly, overturn the thing and cause huge tailbacks whilst the recover their possessions from all over the motorway.

9. People who brake every time they encounter a vehicle coming in the opposite direction, or a speed camera (regardless of what speed they are going).

10. People who overtake me in a 30mph limit because I am going 30mph. I often catch up with them a couple of minutes when the limit has ended.

11. People who whinge about the price of petrol, and buy something that does about 12 miles to the gallon.

12. People who, after filling up their car, dance around the forecourt with the petrol pump hose above their heads getting every last drop out, saving probably 5p, then proceeding to do what appears to be their weekly grocery shop in the expensive "Snack and Shop" before paying for their petrol.
