Title: Most hated driving habits
Post by: GROWLER on September 18, 2007, 10:25:13 PM
Bloody wimmen drivers that stop at roundabouts, when if they'd been concentrating a bit more instead of gassing to the passenger, they'd have seen that nothing is coming and simply carry on driving.
Happened to me today, and because I dared to gesticulate by throwing my arms up in frustration and waving her to move on, she gave me the fingers, bloody ignorant minging old cow. evil:

The ones I see are usually alone. Clearly no one will get in a car with them.

Braking too soon. I was following a car this morning who kept braking too early then dawdling up to the roundabout/junction.

I confess I find John Stapleton one of the most irritating things on TV.
If I saw him on the road the temptation might be too much for me.  evil:

I posted it because of him! I can always flash and undertake middle lane hogs. Stapleton is a tit!

Two lane junction. You can turn left or right. Those turning right seem to feel the need to cut into the left hand lane to save themselves having to turn the steering wheel too much to make the right. And vice versa. Bastards.

I get it everyday on the way home.  cussing:

And people on mobile phones still, that too.  cussing:

I always assumed they drove a 45 tonne articulated road train for their day job?  Or a bendy-bus? rubschin:

Bendy Buses!

Someone should remind the driver that the bus is 18 metres long. Just because they've passed the pedestrian crossing doesn't mean the back end has.  cussing:

Would it not be easier to avoid the areas where they run?

As I thought - you must be a natural beauty who doesn't need makeup. You simply comb you dark, nearly black hair to reveal your beautiful face and to make sure that none of the hair on your back shows above collar level... eveilgrin:

The REALLY annoying problem with women drivers is that they are usually safety oriented.  They annoy by being too cautious and careful and the excessively timid ones draw more attention by the very fact that they slow up the natural flow of a road.

But, unless it provokes a overreaction or a heat-of-the-moment manoeuvre which results in a catastrophe they are usually safe faults.  Even then the problem is usually caused by others that are unable to contain their impatience.

Slow drivers may be an irritation but are seldom dangerous whereas idiots - and that includes an increasing number of women - that habitually push out whilst being completely unable to properly judge speed and distances and cause mayhem as they sail gracefully into the distance blissfully unaware that the reason that there was no collisions was simply because other drivers are alert enough to have braked/swerved or whatever to avoid it.

They then swan off with the imagined superior performance of themselves and their motors imprinted on their minds for next time.    They are not just annoying but bloody dangerous - and usually - men.
