the other night around 6 out of 10 cars had a dud headlight, or a blinding mis-aligned headlight for a long stretch of motorway.
yes they are all idiots, most cars even tell you when a light is out now, plus the lack-of-light-on-the-road-ahead for one side of your car is also a giveaway.

I wonder how long this thread will go on for?
Near my home I have go on a big roundabout and the first lane is left only, middle lane is rightturn and straight and the right lane is right turn and and straight.
But in the middle of the roundabout the straight from the middle lane need to go into the inside lane and the right turn and straight lane have to go to the middle and right lanes.
But hardly anyone from the middle lane goes towards that left thus two lanes try to go straight into the same lane in the middle of a roundabout. The straight through from the right lane end up having to drive through the turn right only and risk being cut by a right turn from the middle.
It's crazy! But is well sign posted but apparently most drivers are also illiterate.0 -
I hate lorries holding up the outside lane just to slowly overtake one other lorry and go slow again. Why not stay behind the other lorry and stop jamming up the outside lane?
And the ones who pull-out to overtake another lorry as soon as a single lane road temporarily becomes two lanes. They can't get past the lorry they're trying to overtake so once the road narrows again pull back in behind it again and successfully manage to stop everyone else getting past while they had the chance. Why do this? It drives me round the twist. On an uphill incline, in an HGV and with a queue of traffic behind them -only a sadist would attempt it, but it seems an awful amount of sadists are driving bloody HGVs!0 -
Well last week I had alot of encounters with female drivers, im not even sexist in anyway but i hate poor driving habits, a driver in front of me last week was doing her makeup at the lights, ok so its teh lights but thats not the point as your concentration should be 100% on the road and not your makeup or anything else. Got cut up by a female on the motorway which caused me to break heavily0

Well the other day a male driver cut me up while using a shaver, and another driver (male, not that I'm sexist in any way) was tailgating and then swerved dangerously in front of another car.
Why can't males drive properly?
Seriously, troll off.0 -
similar story but ill show you where mine changes:
We were travelling yesterday early evening along the M4. It was a 2 lane section and the car in the near lane doing about 65, so my DH moved over into the outter lane to overtake. This !@£$%^&^ came up behind and did a sort of accelerate and drop back a foot a few times while we were overtaking, generally being a right jerk. So as we are clearing the car indicate to come back over and said jerk, undertakes us as we were about to pull in. If that wasn't bad enough, maybe this wasn't a good idea but DH flashed him and Jerk (now infront ) .......
puts his foot down to escape, but preempting him i do the same and follow to 98mph. his is in a late 1990's rover, the engine is topped out. a few minutes later he goes into the layby as his engine almost explodes. result!
sorry for playing games on the road, but he deserved it.Needing to lose weight start date 26 December 2011 current loss 60 pound Down. Lots more to go to get into my size 6 jeans0 -
I had two crackers recently. Mini roundabout, I was entering it at 6 o'clock, bloke approachingfast coming onto it from 9 o'clock. He didn't stop or slow down, so I had to. He then pulled over into a side road and I passed him but had to wait behind a parked car as there was a car coming the other way.
I was signalling to overtake the parked car and was just about to move off when the same bloke came sailing out the side road right past me and also made cars who were coming in the opposite direction, wait. He clearly thought the road was there for his own use.
A day later I was coming out of a side street onto the main road and there was a car stopped just a little way past the junction. He was at least 2 feet away from the kerb so I edged out the junction slowly and drove round him....just as he started moving forwards and back out into the road. He was on his mobile and had no clue what was going on around him.
And they say women drivers are bad.Herman - MP for all!0 -
Please can somone tell me why oh why anyone would think that it is safe and acceptable to be driving at 20mph on a straight road with a 40mph limit?! Seriously, if driving at 40 scares you, pull over, get out of your car, take your driving license out of your wallet or purse, cut it into shreds immediately and don't get behind the wheel again.0
