Mine:
1) Traffic Jams and non-observant drivers
2) Road Tax
3) Speed Cameras
4) People constantly on their brakes which makes you brake cos you think the traffic ahead is stopping
5) People who sit in the outside lane at 65, force traffic to undertake or flash them over, then they move back into the fast lane again after you've passed
6) Continually wanting mods, but having to buy replacment parts as routine maintenance!
7) Being skint as a result of the above!
8) finding rust
9) people with no road confidence who stop at every roundabout regardless whether a car is coming or not.
10) people who make haste to pull out in front of you whilst you have momentum, then struggle to get up to speed or worse go about 20mph in a fast 30/40
11) People driving along with music on loud, hands free kit plugged in their ears nattering away - the traffic comes to a standstill, you can just SEE theyre not concentrating, then the massive shock ont here face when they skid from 60 to 0. (i always anticipate this and leave a good few metres of 'getaway' space just in case i need to boot it)
12) people who ignore lorries needing to overtake and sit in the middle lane mid length of the truck
13) Generally having to think for everyone else on the roads.

1) People that do 40 in a 60 :mad:
2) People that do 15 in a 30 :mad:
3) Speed Cameras and speed traps
4) Ridiculous speed restrictions in the middle of nowhere
5) Dimwits who drive with their foglights on :rolleyes:
6) People who seem to be unable to see lane closed signs and insist on overtaking a mile of patiently waiting road users before filtering, sorry, barging in at the last minute.
7) Being forced to look at the back of Audi TT's, Ford Ka's, new Renault Meganes and assorted 'looks over performance' shite in traffic jams :(

Oooh that one does my tits in!!! :mad:

2) People who don't indicate on roundabouts (pet hate).
3) People who do 60 then speed up as you go to overtake them!! :mad:

1. Fcuking sneaky bastard coppers who hide behind bushes on a deserted road, which used to be a 60 and now a 40 limit for no reason........****ers :mad: :mad:

On the way down to Kent the other week, I saw that a caravan had flipped the car over and it was left in the middle lane upside down!
So dangerous them things... if I ever get one it will be extra aerodynamic and i'll drive a truck!
Not having a 200 at the moment
Everything else is just not as important, but ...
Horse boxes - Why do they always go out during rush hour, drive at 20 mph and then turn off just after I finally manage to overtake them.
Tail gaters - If the speed limit is 30, then I do 30. Sitting 2 inches from my back bumper is only going to make me slow down until they back off a bit.
Coffin Dodgers - Get off the fecking road if you can't see more than 20 yards in front of you, or you're too scared to drive at more than 30 mph anywhere.
Mid-laners - There are 3 lanes on a motorway for everyone to use. Just because you're doing 65-70 mph it doesn't mean that you just sit in the second lane.
I don't need to use my indicators - Why can't people use their indicator ? I mean, it's called an indicator because "it indicates your intentions" FFS
And finally ... the twat in the Lexus who sat 2 foot from my bumper when I was doing ~85 l/week, then overtook me when we got into a town nearly hitting the 2 cyclist coming the other way.

I almost wrote a merc off the other week when a guy tried this :mad:
I was just at the point where the lane closed and he came roaring down the outside at about 80. The traffic just started flowing again so i started to pull away and he tried to dart in behind me so i slammed on the anchors and waited :thumbs: smoke everywhere as he came to a stop 1 inch from my bumper. i then progressed steadily letting the traffic in front get away, he then tried undertaking me, got level giving me the finger so i floored it :thumbs: :thumbs: was in the companies TDCi Mondeo and they can actually shift so he wasnt impressed
Twat :thumbs:

LOL, an example was last night...
My mate went out in his civic type-r and a corsa comes flying on the inside trying to impress or show off his amazing engine or something :D
Anyway, the corsa, going far too quick cant slow down in time for the roundabout, where a lorry has now pulled out onto, so he goes over the lef half of the roundabout, spinning his car 180 degrees :D
my mate in the civic is now facing him, beeps and laughs, and tootles off leaving the gimp facing the wrong way on the empty dual carriageway! LOL what a numpty....

Scott, did the police catch this guy?
The best ones have clearly been covered, but isn't it nice when someone coming the other way flashes you while you're over taking, despite the fact you'll clearly pull back on to your side of the road long before you're ever likely to cause them a problem. That bright flashing light really helps make the manouver much safer for everyone doesn't it :rolleyes:

10-06-2003, 11:21
Luckily, and thanks the fcuking gods, some guy got his plate as he drove off. God, you should have seen me go at him when he got bought into the police station, had to ahve 2 coppers hold me back. Stupid wnaker injured the missus very badly.
Got what he deserved though, 6 months in jail, 4 years driving ban, £1500 fine. lol
Should have had more though. :D

he wont pick up the toke after that sort of fine...

10-06-2003, 11:35
He will if i find him after that amount of time. My solicitor argued for more in court but the judge gave him the benefit of the doubt because it was a first offence of any kind - basically, he was a good boy then a wan*er and could have killed a number of people - so he gets fook all punishment. Yeah, thanks.
Right though, he did deserve more, but at least he got soem punishment.

Good call, my temperament is fantastic but would have been the same in this situation. The bloke was clearly an a-hole of the highest order.
Will Taylor
10-06-2003, 11:41
At least he spent some time getting arse raped in jail, as opposed to a six month ban and a token fine. But he should have got more, I agree - endangering peoples lives is inexcusable.

Scott_Drayton
10-06-2003, 11:41
Yeah, cheers. Me too actually, i tend to be fairly calm in most siuations and takes a fair bit to get me angry, but god did i go for him when he got ou the car.
2 copper pulled him out the car, i ran straight up to him, pushed him back against the car, was lining up for a few digs when the coppers pulled me back and took him away. They then said to me after that if i tried a little harder, they would have let me hit him (sippose they understood the situation i was in), but they couldnt because of his rights and how he could have got me in court for GBH.
Not bad comment for a copper!
The little tw*t lives around my area, might be havign a few "words" with him when i next see him. ;)
