Bad Driving thread

[GlassMirror]

Every single day between 16h40 and 17h10. I do this route everyday, except when my wife is with, she makes me take the long route.

I only drive it weekends but maybe you must take the longer route to avoid them

It can add anything from 30 to 40 minutes to my drive, traffic depending.

Having to commute from the Northernmost neighborhood to the Southernmost - this is how I avoid that traffic

On the topic of blocking yellow or red blocks, you should see what the taxis do with that red block just before the rail crossing at Berg Kelder - it'll make your blood boil.

I'll take peak traffic and taxis over my experience on Friday. Between soccer moms that didn't have their prozac and the graveyard crowd, I was in 6 near accidents. Meaning had to do evasive actions. Skipping stop streets, parking lot reversing, cutting you off when 2 lanes become 1, no indicators etc.

Indeed, mountain bike.

Ag no man. That doesn't help me at all.

You had a reasonable expectation that Roux's route involved a car since this is a thread about bad driving and not cycling, but that is how the Roux rolls.

[Rouxenator]

Nice one! I see what you did there.

This punk in his beemer has no plates. That's bad and he was driving.

Daily morons in action.

That Livina stays in Welgevonden, about 2 blocks from me.

Just remember, a bicycle is also classified as a vehicle. And the way some cyclists 'drive', they should also be included in this thread.

It's possible, I drive behind her all the way from school almost everyday. Kids are in the same daycare.

I actually have to mention that I dislike people on bicycles as much as everyone else, but around Stellenbosch they are normally very well behaved. It's very seldom that I get peed off with a bicycle, unlike the arseholes in cars that has quite obviously got their license from the local tuck shop.

Most cyclist ride on the road like a bunch of arrogant cnuts. I often wonder if most of the idiots on the road are cyclists that drive the same way they ride. Twatwaffles on mountain bikes are my favourite:
"Is that a mountain bike?"
"Yes"
"Then why don't you go find a mountain & get off the farking road!"

99% of cyclists behave themselves. I would do it as well if it wasn't that expensive. It is that 1% that irritates me and give the others a bad name. Like this morning. Cyclist was on the pedestrian path cycling like a mad man and I had to jump out of the way to avoid him. There was a big road with a wide emergency lane he can cycle on.

What on earth is wrong with people in Gauteng and the rain !

In the space of 2 hours, I got:

- On the N12, à TRAC Assist flatbed at 50kmh on the right lane not passing anybody and hooting me for flashing him;

- At OR Tambo, the drop off expended from 1 lane to 3 leaving only one lane to drive and a queue of 300+ cars. A Uber (white A4) decides to stop on the only lane where you can drive to load his client, blocking the 300 cars behind and sees nothing wrong with it;

- In Bedfordview, I am passing a light blue Corolla who's stuck behind a truck, he decides to get in my lane while I pass him, causing me to hit the brakes. I flash him and hoot, he then does 3 brake checks in front of me...

- In Norwood, a Ranger Wildtrak passing a red robot at least 3 seconds after it became red causing me to hit the brakes and swerve almost hitting the sidewalk to avoid him, he gives me the finger;

- In Illovo, a Corolla Uber not indicating at a mini circle that he was turning right instead of going straight causing him to almost hit me...

Glad to be home without an accident...
