Nominations for worst driven vehicles ?

[J4CKO]

For me its flat bed trucks, usually some Neanderthal with no clue behind the wheel like the one that went past me this morning, less than a foot from me, at least Artic drivers generally have some training, Quarry Wagons are bad as well, flat bed tippers usually have three pikeys in looking for some sport so are best avoided.

I was kind of thinking BMW drivers had changed but one decided he couldnt wait for the temporary lights and came through on red towards me, no way was he going to slow down or alter his path, I will recognise the car, there will be recriminations

And the tosser had a tache.

Normal Highway Code rules apparently need not apply when you are dropping off the little darlings

 

[John the Monkey]

Ford Foci (Fosuses?). Anything with more than two gonks/teddies on the parcel shelf. P reg vehicles (don't know why, but it seems to be true). Anything with bangin' choons coming from the windows. Finglands buses.

Parking on double yellow lines and zebra crossings is permitted as is overtaking cyclist on corners when you cannot see round the bend.

Parking on double yellow lines and zebra crossings is permitted as is overtaking cyclist on corners when you cannot see round the bend.

You are also allowed to:

Double park.
Open car doors without due care and attention
Cross busy roads (without looking of course) with 'little darlings in tow'.
Ignore Mr Lollypop man/lady or safe crossing only 10 yards away.

My daughter has teddies on the back shelf. She is much better since she passed me one evening, too close to me and too close to the car in front or her. I quietly explained the error of her ways when I got home.

Worst driven vehicles - rented vans.

Anyone else notice that HGVs without their trailers suddenly become boy racers. I had a right cerfuffle with one on the M25 yesterday, wouldn't let me change lanes into a perfectly safe space by accelarating right on to the bumper of the little old lady in front of him, so pulled in behind him, then as I went to overtake he straddled both lanes to prevent me from doing so. Ok. Tum te tum. Waited for him to chill the fcuk out then matched his speed as I pulled along side him and sat there until he came up behind a slow moving vehicle and he had no-where to go! For five miles! He kept veering over to try and intimidate me but at no point did it cross his mind to indicate. Sun roof back two finger salute and away I went. Think they own the fecking roads some of them. Tosser.

And Beemers, many 4x4s. And the moron in the white builder's van towing a wobbly generator trailer at 85mph in the fast lane whilst on the mobile phone yesterday. Idiot.

Nice topic of conversation over tea! Funny!

 

[mickle]

Happy to accept the responsibility as it would no-doubt prevent him from beating up his spouse when he arrived home.

Well, that's one down...

In general, I find that any vehicle that's done up like it was a part of the occupants house (for young lads, this usually means black everything, loud stereo, for some young ladies, a profusion of gonks/soft toys and pink) tends to mean they're paying as much attention to the road as they would do when sat in front of X Factor...

 

[Lazy-Commuter]

The 19yo girl over the road's latest boyfriend who's (usually) too busy looking at her just after he's collected her from home to look where he's going, which is not ideal in a just-about-but-not-quite-really-wide-enough-for-two-cars cul-de-sac.

She'll be sat in the front seat waving "hi" to me (bless 'er) while he gazes adoringly at her and veers all over the road, heading straight at me.

Edit: but, in general, it will be anyone who doesn't see why driving any kind of vehicle needs care and attention, be that 'cos they are too important (eg. some executive saloons and 4x4s) or can't be a*sed like in John the Monkey's example.

 

[upsidedown]

Mitsubishi warriors driven by 'property developers', now doubtless stressed as their portfolio is worth less by the day.

Reliance prison vans.

Any car that was driven perfectly reasonably on the way in to work in the morning, before it's occupant became stressed, tired and frustrated at being unable to get home.

 

[LLB]

Happy to accept the responsibility as it would no-doubt prevent him from beating up his spouse when he arrived home.

Maybe she beats him up and so he is venting his spleen on a softer target

Or maybe he is a she in drag, and she thought you were trying to rape her as you drove along the outside lane at high speed

 

[hackbike 6]

BMW drivers,do they have their brain cells removed so they can drive these cars and Royal Mail Red can be a bit dodgy.
