Must be d1ckheads/fucktards day out

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Must be d1ckheads/fucktards day out

Post by martinholmesuk » Fri Oct 28, 2005 4:12 pm

How else can your follow the worst driving of the week! Hello it's 30 limit not a 20 limit you d1ckhead! Are you unble to steer around the bends?
signal damn it signal!

Your driving sucks!

The best one is the woman (sorry girls but it just did happen to be woman) who was unable to park next the petrol pump without blocking the exit lanes (two)

d1ickhead was not the correct word for her so i'll think of one later.

Share your driving nightmares below :D

How about on my way home tonight, Discovery in the fast lane of the dualcarriageway on the way home who when we got near the roadworks with signs - Contraflow 1mile - decided to slow down to the same speed as the cars queing in the slow lane - even although there was nothing infront of him for 1m til the contraflow - he just sat there doing around 5mph holding everyone back. He gets my vote.

basically everyone in front of me on my way home tonight...

Look, I've done a ten hour day on a friday and want to get home, if your going to drive in the outside lane at 6:15 you've got to do at least 95.

Yes!!!! they get my vote too! arseh*les!! there was some bloke doing that when i was sat behind him last week when there is clearly a mahoooosive sign saying 'Traffic use both lanes' and hes sat there crawling along in his shitty renault scenic doing about 5mph, nowt in front of him, look its not my fault everyone cant read and wants thier journey to take twice as long as it should and i am doing exactly what the sign says! grrr... i waited til there was just enough room to get over onto the central reservation and squeeze past on the gravel whilst holding down the horn. looking in my mirror hes still there acting like its his road and he wants to make the rules... i saw another car do the same too, and that was a bently!! now that was a squeeze!

Those roadworks are really getting on my tits now :angry: I was getting pissed off when it was on just one side of the 483 but now its on both sides it is causing fuckin havoc, not even rush hour and there is a mile of traffic sifting through the works when there isn't even anyone working on the bridge :angry: :angry: :badmood: :badmood:

My pet hate with contraflow situations is the opposite - I really hate the fucktards that think they're better than everyone else and blats all the way up to the point where their lane doesn't exist anymore and then tries to force their way in.

I have to say I agree with Dragon here. As soon as you know a lane is closing you should be thinking about getting out of it, not how far can I go before I push into the queue.

Oh, so theres a lane with an unnecessary queue in it, I know I'll join the end of it??

The idea is that you merge one by one like a zipper, fairly close to the end of the wider section, gives you more road space. Other wise if everyone moved to the single lane as soon as the signs appeared, instead of having a single lane section say 2 miles long, you get one 2 miles and 900 yards long. Whats the point of that? :?
Take it a step further, you get on the motorway 3 junctions ahead of a where you know there is a single lane section. Better stay in the left hand lane then, don't want to push in.

I have to say that I do move over fairly early, but thats because if you don't the fuckers in lane one who think you are "jumping the queue"won't let you in.....Till you give one the choice of braking or hitting you.


Its not much different to the numpties who form a 65mph queue in lane 3 whilst I breeze past in the completely empty lane 1 at 75ish, If everyone realised there are three lanes on a motorway and used them things would move a lot smoother and quicker.
