Yep and the bloke behind you is driving right up to within an inch your bumper even though it's not your fault that Mr Slowly at the front is holding everyone up.

Learner drivers being taught the wrong way to use roundabouts
Learner drivers being taken through busiest areas during rush hour!! I know they have to learn but go learn somewhere quiet so I don't have to wait 10 minutes for you to pull out of a f#@king junction!!
[/quote]
Yes! I blame the stupid driving instructors. Why force new & usually nervous/hesitant pupils into rush hour traffic conditions when they havent even mastered basic car control(Plenty of quiet trading estates to practice)Also b****y driving instructors blatantly breaking speed limits driving from one lessonjust [size=78%]finished to next pupil. Had one pass me the other day 45mph in a 30 limit-some example that.[/size] :eek
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - BBROWN1664 - 30-09-16
:agree
And why do they insist on practising their 3 point turns in my bloody road all day every day. I guess it has nothing to do with the fact that DVSA also use it as part of the test route. Bastids.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - fazersharp - 30-09-16
People who drive 1 inch from my bumper because I have the audacity to go 30 in a 30 zone
Also
two lanes of traffic going the same way in a 30 zone - at the end of the road is a right filter which is where I need to go, so I am in the right hand lane doing 30, focs who drive right up my arse and zig to the left land and then zag back in font of me - glaring at me as they go around my left at 40mph -like I am the one doing something wrong, ho yes and because they were glaring at me they didn't see the pedestrian crossing gong amber and so now I have to brake harder because the foc cut me up.
Also
Same two lane one direction road, in the right lane there is always a long queue but the left hand lane usually runs smooth, I stop at some yellow hatched markings and every focing time a tosser in the left lane uses it as an opportunity to cut in and then blocks the turn for the right turners (what the hatchings were for) which then leads to that lane backing up all the way down to MY right turn so no no focer is moving.
I should of just said.-- "People who do not know how to use a hatched box junction"
But I feel better now.

People sitting in the right hand lane really pisses me off. Round where I live we have roundabouts everywhere connected by dual carriageways. Many are over half a mile long and people come off of one round about and sit in the right hand lane at the speed limit (or lower) to go straight over the next roundabout and then turn right 2-3 roundabouts later.
Drive on the fickin left until about 3-400 metres before the roundabout then move out.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - Dave48 - 30-09-16
Its like every "f****r has their own version of the Highway Code-Its a jungle out there & getting worse by the day. How many vehicles on our roads-c 37 million? & how many can actually drive?.......Supply your own answer :eek Its the cager version of "all the gear-no idea!"
I only drive after 10am & before 3pm if I can help it.

Problem is that when you are travelling at the 30 speed limit in the left lane and everyone in the right lane is passing you doing 37 they then will not let you cross over to the right lane, so you learn your lesson and stay in the right lane doing the 30 speed limit. Doing 30 in a 30 zone is not sitting in a lane, it shouldn't be holding anyone up as they should only be doing 30 too.

Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - bikemad - 01-10-16
A lot of places like London people who know keep out of box junctions cos they'll be fined,some in my area have got cameras to monitor them unsure if they actually fine anyone ?
With roundabouts increasing in my area all kinds of wrong lane tossers are out there !
One that really pisses me off dual carriageway or motorway outside lane clear but twats will not move over to let people merge off the slip road ? so choices are either cut them up or slow down had one yesterday doing 60 in a 70 ffs ?

Didn't know this, so will have to rely on pointing and embarrassing even more now, which in fairness is much more fun.
Maybe they should add on "...but be warned, you may encounter the relentless wrath of darrsi..."

No point not blocking them if everyone else doesn't.... just make sure you look the driver trying to pull out in the eye and give him a smile for that extra kick.
Re: Today's "What Gets My Goat" - darrsi - 01-10-16
Doesn't really help that it was me who one day asked this councillor who was walking the streets one summer asking people if he could do anything for them and i suggested this Keep Clear sign as i was pissed off at not being able to exit my road safely every morning, then lo and behold he only got the job done about 3 weeks later!
So i kinda feel like that box is mine and nobody elses. :lol
