šŸ¤¬ What makes you go GRRRRRR?

Oh I have a pet peev that's really starting to get far too common. Whenever I'm out on a nice country lane there's always some idiot doing 45mph for absolutely no discernable reason, and wouldn't you know, they then go ahead and do 45 in a 40, followed by 35-40 in a 30, even 25-30 in a 20. What the heck is wrong with these people? Why is 60 on a perfectly empty country lane deemed dangerous but its perfectly okay to speed in pedestrian area's? WWHYYYY!?

Because this is how an organism would operate a vehicle using only its brain stem. Pure reactive, zero reasoning, zombie driving. Accelerator pedal kept at a constant pressure with only a bit of optical feedback (light area/dark area) and steering input required to stop the car leaving the road and killing the organism.

Anything beyond that would require the use of the cerebrum, the grey matter, of which there is none in the ā€˜45 mph zombieā€™.

Next time you are behind one, note how they come up behind a speed limit adhering driver and only brake to prevent collision at the last moment, and then will track the movement of that vehicle (as it requires even less brain activity), including following it momentarily as it turns off before snapping back to ā€˜follow grey stripā€™ mode.
 
Everything in life involving other people.


But seriously, hazards on when parking like a t**t, like that excuses the Twattery. Just own your blatant flouting of common decency or road rules.
 
I am literally parked illegally with my hazards on lol

Wife giving the wrong directions, her head just has no directional sense.

Lefts become rights, and vice versa, go here or this way results in 3 point turns. I should fix the mount for the sat nav šŸ¤£
 
Now we have covered indication how about rear fog lights ;) my view - if the car behind you can see your normal rear lights turn the fogs off! (especially so if wipers are needed) Thanks

Yes, another major bugbear of mine.

Think I've driven twice in the UK when rear fog lights were needed. Of course, some areas get worse fog than others, but on most occasions people have their rear fogs on unnecessarily.

Like you said, if you can see their rear lights (and the ten cars in front of them!), they don't need their fogs on!
 
Car related annoyance: people stopping at a roundabout when there clearly isnā€™t anything coming, then continuing to wait ā€¦ and then something comes so youā€™re waiting now.

Non car related annoyance: people going out of their way to be passive aggressive or just rude. The world needs more decent people.
 
I was in my work mates car getting lunch and a lady in a Fiesta pulled out in front of him on a roundabout.

He beeped his horn and waved his hand out of the window and shouted "stupid effin b".

Both of those things annoyed me but the second one more.

With my Driving Instructor head on: In the UK lanes 1 & 2 are for normal driving with lane 3 designated for overtaking. Drivers should always return to lane 2/1 once the overtake is complete.
I have a few eggs that your Granny is welcome to suck too if she wants? šŸ˜†
 
There's one road that grinds my gears in my town.
It goes 40mph - 30mph - then back to 40mph as there's Cows crossing in the 30mph area which is fine but....
All the idiot drivers in my town do the opposite they do 30mph in the 40mph parts and then 40mph+ in the cow zone! :oops: Madness! No wonder people have hit the Cows before... :mad:
Getting stuck behind them in the 40 bits are annoying as it's too bendy to overtake so it's like 20 minutes of pure garbage driving! :cautious: (n)
Nice for the GR if no one's around and you can sail through the twisty 40mph parts though! :LOL: šŸ˜… :cool:

Shirley it's lane 1 (keep left) unless overtaking?

I hate it when people sit in lane 2 of 3, or frequently lane 3 if it's a 4 lane motorway...

Itā€™s good fun in Wales at the moment with the new 20 mph limits. Iā€™ve been behind people the last few days doing 40 mph in a 60, which is a bit annoying as itā€™s too slow for well sighted country roads, then you get to a village, the 20 signs appear (usually with the 2 sprayed over already) and they carry on at 40!

Then thereā€™s the other numpties crawling through at an indicated 15 mph and constantly tapping the brakes.

I just want people to drive normally. Actually I donā€™t, I want them to stay at home, watch TV and eat crisps. Sell their maroon Picasso, buy a nice big 70ā€ OLED jobbie and eat their own bodyweight in Doritos. To an early grave.

Yes it's an absolute nightmare.

Jo public have become so 'dumbed down' by constant speed restrictions in Wales that they just drive slowly everywhere now.
