Nominations for worst driven vehicles ?

[goo_mason]

Anyone who thinks that they don't need to actually look where they're going when driving a car because they're too busy staring at the phone in their lap, texting.

These people deserve to be dragged from their cars immediately and their hands chopped off. FFS, it's bad enough not looking where you're going as a pedestrian and bumping into someone / something, but to do it in a couple of tons of metal at speed ?

That's because there are a lot of half-wits out there who think they can drive perfectly well when they can't.They are either in the wrong lane,are drifting all over the road or are driving slowly.

Royal mail vans.

3 times in 2 days a royal mail van, has pulled out from stationary just as my front wheel has passed his rear bumper, accellerated quickly, only to throw a 'U'-turn in a side road, with no indication, then as hes about to hit me, jump on the brakes, and suddenly have something really important to attend to in the footwell! (avoiding eye contact)

Passed another one today, sure my cadence raised by about 50rpm just to get past the bugger, they make me nevous now!

Wash your mouth out young man. There is no such thing as 'driving (too) slowly' on here. The national speed limit should be reduced to 20mph

Hi Jacko:

In two separate categopries, my nominations are:

Vehicle types:
BMW's - small willy required when purchasing
Merc's - either thieves or useless old dodderers
Audis - all esp Q7 as BMW wannabe's

Driver:
Women - esp school-run
Old drivers - the plague of the Sunday run out
Hat wearers - like it's going to freakin' rain in the car
Pipe smokers - daydreaming along - also usually old and wearing a hat
Finally - Baldy drivers - says everything

If I have upset any of you baldy pipe-smoking old women drivers who wear a hat when on the schoolrun... then I don't apologise

These opinions are those of the poster and in no way reflect the opinions of other board members - unless they wish to do so.

Difficult to pick just one but any uncidents I have had seem to involve 90% of the time a WVM or a BMW/ Audi or a 4x4 or some daft bint forgetting to look left or right before they pull out or a Ned/ Chav. On the open/ rural roads skip and tipper drivers seem to nutters. Why do these vehicles always come up in conversation.

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.

She's removed the teddies then?

Oh this is is easy, school run parents

Ah, but if he had died from a blood-pressure-induced stroke, it would have been your fault.

According to some one person in the known Universe, Col

Duly corrected.

School run drivers are easily the worst, but I have to say I've seen a few Police cars being driven in a manner which suggests they are trying to map read, talk on a phone, smoke a cigarette and also change their outfit at the same time whilst driving.

 

[swee'pea99]

And still no one's mentioned Volvos...

 

[Disgruntled Goat]

Young men on All Terrain Vehicles with extra loud zorsts and no helmet.

I pray that an accident befalls them.

On recent Sunday run .. coming back on a road which lead to Alderley Edge.. the only 'vehicules' to give me a seemingly grudging 12 -15 inch clearance, (well it felt damned close) were 3 gleamingly shiny black with blacked out 4x4s.... I wish there was a web site where you could log the registrations of these inhuman monsters - and thats just the drivers! and shame them... but hey.. there are probably very very nice people...

anyways have to mention it.. on coming back on the CatnFiddle challenge ride after Brown Edge . I passed a white van .. HONEST.. I knows no photographic proof.. not even a speed cam when you need 1! but I distinctly remember using the downhill. mumbling 'cant be ar*ed' to brake and going on the offside of him..

Royal mail vans.

Why do Royal Mail van drivers have to over rev the engine so it's screeeeeeaaaaming at low speeds.. why oh why?

 

[mickle]

I reckon Volvo drivers have changed for the better over the years, possibly as a result of the widely held opinion (not just amongst cyclists) that their driving was a disgrace.

How long before Beemer drivers get the hint? I'm not holding my breath.
