Fucking idiotic drivers!

[BlackStallion]

Just went to Tesco literally 20 minutes ago, entered the car park and just round the blind bend as you enter, i found a twat of a woman in a car driving on the wrong side of the road! I had to brake pretty sharp.

It's just like a normal road all around the car park, even arrows on each side! If you drive, then you must have a license, and if you have a license, you should no what fucking side of the road to be on!

What also took the piss was how she sat there just waving her hands in the window, she was obviously ranting and raving at me as if i was in the wrong!

A guy on the "correct" side of the road tooted to her as if to say "what the fuck are you doing" and she moved onto the left hand side. I just shook my head as she went past...

The guy who tooted was laughing and pointed at her car and done the wanker sign

That cheered me up a bit and made me feel better

Anyone else been in a stupid situation like this?

[Irn-Bru]

Just the usual people pulling out on me Happened twice the other day actually, one time I had to drive on the path to avoid having a very bad day indeed

Woman drivers, eh

[Nb]

Yes, every sunday when i go to tescos. Theres always some man/women/african looking person driving the against the arrows in the car park. I swear 30% of people on the road in the uk dont have a licence.

Every time i'm on the bike something like this happens.

Can remember going to work one day, pulled into the car park and a car just reversed out of a space in front of me, then looked blankly at me as if to say 'move, you're in my way'

I just sat there and looked back... and he had to do a 2 point turn to manouvre around me.

my boss was sitting outside having a fag and just laughed.

Things like this happen all the time when i'm working, let alone on the bike.

I remember the good old days where people used to have common courtesy and moved over when you were passing parked cars, indicating, obviously moving slow because of the hill and things like that.

Now it's wait for oncoming cars to pass before overtaking parked cars, with the car behind beeping at you as you are not forcing your way through.

Sit waiting to pull out/change lane or something similar.

Driving up a steep hill, car behind beeping and flashing eventually overtook on solid white lines. Was struggling up Sutton Bank doing 37ph in a Peugeot Partner.

As for them arrows in carparks, i always expect people not to look at them. Numerous times I stop just before one and point to it in a big sarcastic and very patronizing way.

If you have priority then fuck 'em.

Problem with the OP, is that as much as the cager seemed at fault - if he'd been riding to the conditions it wouldn't have been such a drama.

My children still remind me of the "old twat" who at a complicated dual-carriageway traffic light junction indicated right and then tried to drive head on into us as we sat at the red light waiting to turn right in the right turn filter lane.

And of the "stupid old bat" who thought she could turn right onto the dual carriageway by crossing the central reservation using the right turn only filter lane in the dual carriageway itself.

Of course we were in the wrong...

If/when I get to that age I will gladly take my bus pass and/or free taxi tokens and let someone else drive me everywhere.

I'm glad to see so many perfect rider/drivers on BCF that can point out the errors of others so well.

Just in, had a really close one

The ground is wet so i'm not going too quick, the CG's brakes are bad enough in the dry.

So i'm doing about 20 in a 30 with a VW golf practically humping my rear tyre...

Came to turn in to my street and the guy musn't have been looking, because when i started to brake, he had to swerve dramtically to miss me.

Prick.

That's my near death experience for the day

Wonder what tomorrow will bring

Of course things like this happen to me every single time I'm on the road but I do remember one day more clearly than others.

The very centre of my town there's an awesome hill in the middle of a complicated one way system. Anyway, you go down the hill and at the bottom it bends 90 degrees to the left as you reach 30MPH pretty damn quickly. I was doing this corner like I had done many times before and just before I got to the corner there was a young girl (say approx. 7 years old?) skipping in the middle of the road! I've already hit 30MPH and so my options are to either go forward in to a brick wall, try to do an emergency stop while going around a sharp corner (resulting in falling off for sure) or just hit her.

Well as soon as she saw me she jumped up with a kind of shocked expression that turned in to a laugh as she ran back to the pavement - so she clearly knew she shouldn't have been there. Stupid parents not looking after their kids.

So I carry on down this one way road and almost immediately get hit by an elderly woman cyclist coming the WRONG WAY down the road towards me. That isn't a day I'll forget any time soon.

So you see, it's not always car drivers that are the idiots. It's people in general.

Alexio, that's a pretty unlucky day.

I've had my time with an idiotic cyclist. Won't forget it.

As for the girl, she's lucky to be alive, imagine a fucking 4 tonne lorry coming round the bend, doubt she'd be laughing then...

Neither would her shit parents.

[Irn-Bru]

Taxi drivers are one my pet hates, absolute bunch of wankers up here. They go into wrong lane beside you at the lights so they can over take you... I make sure they don't though Tossers. Nearly knocked my brother off his 'ped once as well, and so I was walking with him to the shop once and he saw the same taxi driving past and threw his sandwich at it. Revenge!

What would you do in that situation though?

The same i'd hope

Just don't want someone's introduction to biking ruined because of some extremely overweight slob who thinks he rules the road.

W@nkers.

Going from an RS125 to a ZX6R I seem to have developed spidey senses. Even the slightest movement anywhere in my peripheral vision and I've clocked it and ready to respond incase anything happens.

That aside, sometimes, you get the odd wanker just blatantly not even looking where they're going and pulling out of streets or just driving straight across mini round abouts.

I swear, I have been watching how other people check what's coming and it's worrying that loads of people simply don't look both ways when emerging from side roads/junctions.

[serlant]

Its rediculous how bad it is these days, I rode a mile home from my mates house today and had 2 people pull out infront of me, first guy just stopped on my side of the road, i flashed him to carry on since i'd already stopped(lucky i was fucking paying attention) , instead he reverses back in, then 100 yards up the road some lady in a huge volvo pulls out of a left hand junction and just drives down my side of the road before she finishes the turn, meaning i have to move over to the curb to avoid her, didn't even apologise, atleast the taxi knew he was in the wrong

[Marcg868]

Car drivers are like Flu, its pretty much inevitable you'll encounter idiotic drivers, but try to avoid them. Just treat everyone on the road as stupid and stay well away from them. Works for me.

lmao ive got the most idiotic old fuck of all


the other day i was just going round a roundabout, like one after a dual caridge way, a big'un

and i saw this woman pull out of a roundabout without even looking, me and another car had to almost stop dead on the roundabout to avoid her. she then panicked and went the wrong fucking way on the roundabout lmfao. a car almost smashed right into her but she managed to swerve her car on the island just in time to avoid it. obviously we went round again just to see what she did next. she was just sat there stunned in the middle of the island lmfao. she looked FUCKING GORMLESS

lol i think she smashed her wheel up getting on to the island aswell
