Bad Driving thread

This morning I saw a Polo sedan (maybe an Uber driver?) do an illegal U turn at the intersection of William Nicol and Main Road. For those that don't know it, this is a HUGE intersection. He was heading North on William Nicol, then decided to turn right, and ended up going South on Main Road.

U turns can be dangerous but
technically if the intersection does not have a No u turn sign (if i recall that one does not have on it's not illegal (think Justice project confirmed this on twitter a while ago)
 
Since when did it become justifiable to cut someone off (very close to their front bumper & bonnet) and your sound reasoning is because your indicator is on?

Hooted at a learner because they were waaaaayy too close when they cut in front of me, their reasoning with gestures was that their indicator was on. At least it was a Go they shouldn't be a nuisance much longer.

The current spat of learner drivers in Sandton is appalling. Indicators on thinking they can move wherever. I mean yes majority of drivers here don't use their indicators, but these learner drivers are so brazen and confident with their bad driving habits.

A BMW driver (assuming from forum nick) moaning about bad driving and cutting off and even mentions indicators? :crylaugh:
 
I drive at night quite a bit and I've noticed the one headlight always seems brighter than the other on some polo vivo vehicles? Or is it glare from the reflector housing?

No disrespect to polo vivo drivers

H7 bulb put in the wrong way around. I had that with my old corolla years back and couldn't understand why the light was like that after replacement, turned the bulb around, problem solved.

Simple thing to fix, but hey some vehicle owners just don't give a rats a$$ about other drivers with their intensely bright headlights.
 
About a zillion lane jumpers on the N1 M1 junction before a handful of taxis skipping the robots but the right only lane on Corbett Drive at peak time.
 
Not really bad driving, but...you think he knows his hatch was open? :crylaugh:

What the hell???? Why didnt you just let him go pass you? You saying it's their problem is admitting guilt.
In aviation there's a rule, see and avoid, it also applies on the ground.
You and the mini are both horrible drivers and shouldn't be on the road.

Agree.

Taking that bend so slow as well? Come now , are you (librarian) in your 80's or something ?
 
It is amazing how important some people feel when driving. I was in the right. The other person should have yielded before entering the circle. And with me about a meter away from yield line he was approaching from. He did not slow down he simply continued to drive as though I was not there. And when 4 cars(me and the 3 behind me, big circle) had hooters blaring at him he simply through a .|.. hand out the window.


I hope he suffers butthole cramps constantly for a week.
 
Porsche Carrera going on the turn right only lane to go straight and pass the queue at the robot and cut my way.

Little did he expect to trigger me enough for me to do the same thing to him at the next crossing.
