Thread: Road rage- What grips your sh*t?

Priority to the right still exists in Germany, and drives me mad, cos
a. doesn't make sense
b. it is frequently overridden by signposts, and in a lot of places without signposts it is not enforced. I enter a main road from my own road - I would be mental to try and do it without stopping although I have theoretical priority - nobody stops for our road.
c. even Germans don't seem to understand when it is or isn't in force.
d. doesn't make sense

I've seen other drivers give "skittish/nervous" horses over twenty feet of space because the riders/animals are out of their depth when in a busy (traffic) environment.

The horse is probably skittish because of clueless drivers getting up its arse, overtaking too close and doing so too fast. And most horse riders are insured.

If you do find yourself behind one on a country lane, it's russian roulette to get past the bloody thing for fear of oncoming traffic. PUT IT IN A FIELD AND RIDE IT THERE.

Fields are for growing food in, not riding horses on.

How can a dog owner get a fixed penalty fine for their animal fouling a pathway yet I've never seen the same rule apply to horse riders?

Because dog shit is full of diseases, horse shit isn't.

You should stay out of the countryside if country activities rile you so much, townie.
And the Queen likes horses. You must be a traitor.

Indicators are optional, we followed one of the civvie blokes to camp from Aldergrove and he never indicated once (I mean I accept we all forget occasionally) when asked about this his response was that "everyone knows where im going" and the worse part was he meant it.

Complaining about that in Norwich once, to have a colleague say "Oh my husband never uses his indicator, he says it's nobody's business where he wants to go". Says all you need to know about driving in Norfolk!

To be honest sounding your horn around horses makes free entertainment for Rodeo fans, Rev the old V8 too for full effect

What a tolerant lot you are. So far you don't like pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders, motor cyclists, car drivers, van drivers, caravan pullers, motorhome drivers, tractor drivers, bus drivers and truck drivers, slow drivers, fast drivers, not forgetting old sods and young sods. All this could be fixed quite simply, if all you cnuts stayed home and off the road, it would leave it free for me!

not impressed going home last night and there it was another fcuking tractor! only this one was the estate version with a fuck off trailer, ended up doing 20mph for 10 miles on the A354, maximum cnut points scored by that farmer!

Big farms around your way if you were stuck behind a tractor for 10 miles.

It's farmer country down here, this cnut was transporting logs it took a while for the bloke to realise that there was a huge que behind him and eventually pull in, i hate tractors.

Most if not all of mine pet hates have been mentioned already.

1. Fog lights on when there is no fog.
2. No fog lights (or any other lights) when there is heavy fog.
3. Not using indicators.
4. Driving really slowly on bendy roads then hammering it up to 70 - 80 on the only straight where I could get past!
5. People that force you to slam on as they pull out to go around a stationary car and then smile and wave to say thankyou for letting them through! You didn't give me any choice .. cnut.

to name a few

So tetanus (lockjaw) isn't a disease?

It does have its plus points.

At least you'll no longer care about things that grip your shit on the roads.

I have no problem with any over the above. I just wish they would stop using the same road I am on.

I generally find a good long blast of La Cucaracha sends a horse bolting down the road as if its arse is on fire. It's not so much of a rodeo, more of a steeplechase.

now what really grips me is drivers that are doing 50 mph to 55 mph on the motor way so you go to overtake almost get to the point of pulling back in then they speed up and undertake you so you have to pull back in to lane one and they then slow down, (AND YES I AM A TRUCKER)
