Bad Driving thread

I am not sure if they were on their phone or something but they just sit at a green traffic light...


Instead of getting in to the correct lane early on this driver dawdles along holding up traffic hoping to find a gap...


The usual taxi shenanigans using turning lanes to go straight...



No problem, missed a turn, I'll just reverse in the middle of a mini circle and then not indicate that I need to turn at the turn that I missed but have now reversed through an intersection to make...

 
Another mini circle muppet in Parkhurst...


Traffic queue? No way around? No Time to wait? No problem!


More taxi shenanigans using emergency lanes and running red lights...


The first car to hit you is on the right...

 
On the news this morning. Minaar of JMPD, has ordered newly graduated police officers who graduated in December back to the training school because:
1. They can't drive
2. They do not know the traffic laws and regulations.
3. They can't direct traffic.
4. They can't safely handle firearms.
Considering they spent 18 months in training and passed an exam and got a certificate, what the he does this mean?
What did they do for 18 months?

Unfortunately this is happening in other sectors as well. Service levels in this country is not what it used to be and will only get worse.
 
I am not sure why people do this, they want to be in the left lane as it is the only lane you can use to get in to Nicolway Shopping Centre, but they turn from the right. This lady at least had the decency to indicate that she wanted to change lanes, I normally have to hoot or cut people off as they just drift...

No green light, no problem, everyone will give me way except for maybe the 2.2 tonne Touareg turning...

OY! Who's paying?? They can jolly well pay for the second round themselves.

Wait... are they those 30% candidates?
 

Wow, but look at the 30 seconds (and yes, its literally 30 seconds) these people saved by going around me and straight through a red light. Must have really made SUCH a difference on their morning commute.

The sad thing is that bad habits reinforce themselves - sooner or later those persons will run a red light and cause a traffic accident.

I was taught that changing lanes in an intersection is illegal. Also that when turning right or left for that matter at an intersection with more than one turning lane, you have to stay in your turning lane until AFTER the turn and then only change lanes if safe to do so.
So the problem is driver knowledge, poor advance planning or just plain bad road manners.
 
Today's collection of special snowflakes

Kia decides its better to cut someone off by undertaking, instead of using the right hand lane for its intended purpose...


This guy goes straight in a left only lane and then proceeds to hold up traffic instead of just keeping moving.


And then we have an Etios driver who decides at the last second, in the fast lane to take an offramp, cuts across a painted island and 4 lanes of traffic.
