OAP's that can't detect that their car is rolling backwards towards yours at traffic lights and then stick their fingers up when you blast the horn to warn them before they smash the front of your car up.

Foccin idiots.

As an OAP myself I agree entirely-perhaps some form of periodic driving capability test for us senior citizens?. I would add however that there are many other drivers of all age groups who cannot hold their vehicle stationary at eg traffic lights on an incline-after all this is classed as a serious error in the driving test which would be an automatic fail.
My other pet hates are the continued use of mobiles & other distracting devices in vehicle-even by so called "professional" drivers like LGV & PSV. I beleive the only deterrent would be an automatic 12 month disqualification. Similarly for use of alcohol/drugs. If the politicians are so concerned about RTCs why dont they do something positive to ease the carnage on the roads.
And dont get me started on F****n Brexit & General Elections :eek

I had a very near miss where I ended up calming down the driver that tried to wipe me out.

This old driver decided to overtake a car on the inside of a 90 degree bend, luckily for me I saw it coming, I had to sit on the white line through the turn, lean enough to get round but miss both cars coming head on. Not a situation you want to find yourself in. I stopped, turned around and found this old man stood on the side of the road shaking so violently I figured there was no point having a go, he new he'd come so close to taking me out through his lack of observation.

Bet he never overtook on that bend again
