Car drivers who are obviously jealous of my two shiny wheels and block the path to overtake - even though they are driving at half the speed limit... Begs the question WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN!

I am with wg100. Truckers are twats and all deserve a head on at 70mph and live - f*cking vegetables.

I'm with you on this, what is it with truckers and overtaking. I use the A34 a lot, its 2 lane and busy, but without fail some trucker will pull out in front of me, sometimes with indicators, and then spend the next 10 miles trying to overtake another trucker who is going 1 MPH slower than him.
Perhaps some ARRSE members might also be truckers and can explain whats going on, and why its so important to be in front of the next truck even if it holds up every other road user.

I've never done that, have we been watching too much Clarkson?

"Drivers" going down a slip road to enter a motorway going slow. The idea is to build up speed, that is why the majority of approach roads are so long. Similar with vehicles driving off from the hard shoulder.

People who think that just because I drive a womans car that I drive like a woman. Get up my arse and don't be surprised if the brake lights suddenly come on. Your fault if you hit me in law.

The boy racer who turned left out of a side road to my right the other week and only looked to his right. Sometimes parked cars force other drivers to be in the middle of the road and by pulling out without looking both ways, you caused me to jam on. To add insult to injury, you then blasted your horn and made obscene gestures. Your fault Cnut and I good job I am a bit aged these days. I can still drive better than you ever will.

Jeremy Clarkson. Should have been drowned at birth. Boy racer in a mans body and total facist.

Looking at the catalogue of errors this thread has shown in peoples driving I would highly recommend it in future!

Just a side issue here.

Statistics show quite clearly that the risk of accident (or collision as it is more properly known lately) diminishes markedly once a driver has 100,000 miles experience under the belt.

That equates to about 8.5 years at 12k per annum (only a small proportion cover more miles in a year - and they mostly don't get those kind of jobs, until they've doen the miles)

Pass test aged 18, 100k = age 25 : at which point premiums drop like stone.

I've been driving since ABBA were topping the charts first time around.

Be interested to know how long other posters on here have had the Double O prefix. - sorry, I meant a licence to drive a car.

1973

I have only been driving 24 years but I feel like a grumpy old man when I see the standard of new drivers who have recently passed the test!
