Bad Driving thread

Driving down a side road with parking bays perpendicular to the road. To my left about 10 meters ahead is a BMW 330d, parked across three parking bays. As I approach the car, he suddenly swerves out in front of me - no indicators. At this stage I was right on his tail as I was doing about 15kph. What does this moegoe do? He brake checks me and throws a zap out the window.

I found a parking and turned left into it, climbed out my car and gave him a glare (I needed to stop at a store nearby anyway). He stops his car right in the middle of the road (screw the cars behind him wanting to go past), climbs out and starts making his way to me, shouting expletives and obscene things about my mother, all while telling me how he is going to kill me. So I told him he must come hit me if he thinks I was in the wrong, I have a parking attendant that saw the whole story and a shop full of people now staring out the window at the scene developing outside.

I raised my arms in a 'come at me, bro' stance and said that not scared of him (I'm not the tallest oke at 1.7something meters but not afraid to stand my ground) and he must try me.

I think he saw what an arse he was making of himself in front of the adjacent shop which was now waiting for this drama to unfold, so he stormed back to his Beemer and took off like a bat out of hell, tyres spinning and smoke enveloping the whole street.

:D

That's not possible unless he deliberately disabled traction control before driving off.
 
Driving last night from a friends place, I pull up behind a red Ford Kuga trying to overtake a truck, rear foglights on, this guy wouldn't overtake the damn truck. So I turn up my high beams signaling the kuga to drive a little faster, to which the driver speeds up and turns on his hazard lights. They overtake the truck and as I overtake the Kuga, I notice its a circus show.

This idiot has all the lights on the car on. I try to just get out of the area as the lights were really bright. Further down the road, the kuga stops behind me with high beams still on, I try to signal to them that the brights are on, no success. Robot goes green and we drive off, this time around the kuga sits right on me a$$ so I pull into the left lane, to my surprise the kuga also pulls into the left lane.

I don't know if this person was angry that I bright them for driving too slow or what, they overtake me and brake check me a few times, with all the rear lights on, it was a garden of lights show, eventually they sped off with their ecoboost fire hazard. Whatever I did wrong I don't know. Didn't even register the plates.

It was a dolphin shape 330d. Tinted windows, dropped suspension and what not so it's probably not unlikely it's been fiddled with a bit
 
No pics or anything but I did come face to face with a Corolla driving into oncoming traffic this morning.
Was on witkoppen in Paulshof - the part where it's dual lane separated by a pretty wide but low barrier; I was heading towards Monte. I don't think the Corolla saw the traffic ahead and was speeding and couldn't brake in time so hopped across the barrier into oncoming traffic. Luck there were no cars at that point in time but then they didn't turn around - nope just carried on driving on the wrong side of the road with their hazards on.

Holy crap, I once had this happen, dear driver was driving with the high beams on, I flash back trying to get their attention, eventually I pulled to the side and the idiot sped on by. I get out of the car from the shock, and there they drove off the road, crash. I just disappeared from the scene.

Saw this happen on the M1 between Buccleuch and Marlboro a few years back.

Early morning, pre-dawn. Car came down the off ramp onto the wrong side of the highway and was speeding down the fast lane.

Think the driver ended up dead.
 
I should really get a dashcam.. This afternoon returning to PE from EL, just about 2km before Colchester some idiot passes me on the left driving in the yellow lane. It's not like I was crawling along or anything (was doing 120) and, 2 more km and the freeway starts.. sheesh, talk about impatient.
