Bad Driving thread

[Hamster]

Can't stand these morons (and in this case a grumpy old b**** in a silver Jazz in Fourways) passing motorcycles on the left when there is obviously no space.

Why do they think we're slowing down? To look at the fantastic urban architecture or because the cars in front of us are breaking or we're about to make a turn?

Had it in Roodepoort as well - left indicator on, a bit wide but in my lane and as I'm about to turn this bakkie passes me on the left.

I hope they all fscking crash their cars and suffer a blow to the head so they stay of the roads

A mirror/door really doesn't take a lot of pressure

I might be childish enough next time

Think I'll find the car in a parking lot, since I've got her license plate, and then park her in with my car. Photo will be in the bad parking thread

to the box driving that spiffy new Land Rover Discovery CAM7879 , Learn how to drive like a human, you almost caused a pile up on the N1 Outbound today because you were in too much of a hurry and decided to go from the far left lane all the way to the far right lane in one move....


D00s!

You've no doubt experienced road rage in the past. Most of the time it's because our roads are rife with people who either don't know how to drive or are just plain rude.

Here are some of my pet peeves (further illustrated in the video at the end) but I'd love to hear what annoys you on the road.

Number 1 most annoying thing is people not using their indicators.Such a simple thing to do that would prevent alot of unneccessary issues on the road.

I was on the M1 south this morning when I off-ramped at Glenhove with the intention of using the M31 to get to Parktown. At the Glenhove/M31 robots I find this black Subaru Impreza (the older smaller type) waiting for the robot to turn green, he was on the left lane so I take the right and we wait abreast. As the robot turns green and we set off towards the next robot (17th Ave just a few meters away) guy starts drifting into my lane, no indication nothing. I hoot at him and he throws a hand at me, I change to the left lane and we are abreast again at the next robot. I open the window to hear his story, I tell him he was in the wrong as he came into my lane, he says "ja things happen", I say "yes so you were supposed to apologise to me not throw a hand". The robots turn green again and we set off again towards 11th avenue, he obviously wants to "wys" me, I also squeeze the accelerator and leave him behind. He flashes his lights at me from behind. The end.

Yes, there is always some arsehole standing on the yellow line blocking traffic, and if you eventually make it from bird street into this side street you have to dodge the taxi's driving in the oncoming lane.

There's always that one idiot blocking that yellow box everyday and it's true what you say your dodging skills have to be on point of you want to drive down that road. If you not dodging taxi's you're dodging those damn breakdown bakkies that's always parked there.

Saw a Mercedes C250 driving with its stupid marie biscuit spare wheel on the right front.

When you have a flat on your front wheel and have a marie biscuit spare, you need to change 2 wheels, just deal with it, the price of buying same fancy ass car.

I must actually see if I can find some photos that I took at that intersection over the last two years. Lots of reckless driving there.

You must find those photo's because some of the driving there beggars belief. They drive like proper C**ts through that intersection.

These are pics I took yesterday afternoon. It really is an everyday thing. Sometimes the cops will stand in line watching the taxis come pass them, and just do nothing.

And that affects braking and turning how?

I'll accept being wrong if you can post the relevant manual that does say where the tyre must go,
