rabbitstew Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I had an idiot this morning. I pull out of a T junction with plenty of room before any cars reach me. I accelerate to 30mph in a 30mph zone and this KIA zooms up behind me as if to say "you pulled out in front of me". I continue doing 30mph and he`s now practically touching my bumper. He backs off, and zooms back up a couple of times. I very very very seriously considered doing an emergency stop there & then and had I been driving some old banger instead of my bmw I may very well have done. After a few yards of this behavior the KIA driver then turns off down a side street, no indicators or anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too - he must have had a brown trouser moment and is lucky himself he didnt swerve out of the way and end up crashing. He did the right thing in the situation I feel... nothing! Swerve left and kill the biker, swerve right and kill the other ones coming round the corner. It could have ended horribly for all involved! I think they've all had their dose of luck for 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Its a bit expensive in Knightsbridge. OK so this spoilt little rich kid was going to fast trying to impress the peroxide in the passenger seat, that's a given, but equally as much of a bellend is the the mazda driver who just pulled out without looking.. Found the cost of the damage £62,000 - 00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=kfS8iz2NaLE Edited April 1, 2014 by WhackyWill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cos it was Matt Black he didnt see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Went around my mates house this eve, he lives in a side road not brilliantly lit. As I was leaving just about to pull out, I see a taxi with headlights on so I wait and let it go, Then I start to pull out behind it, to suddenly realise there is another car DIRECTLY behind the taxi with just side lights on..!!, completely hidden.. Give people a chance of seeing you and PUT YOUR FR**GING HEADLIGHTS ON, You got lights for a reason..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 and don't start on the appropriate use of fog lights Why.. I'd bet it's because nobody seems to know how to use them correctly anymore.

ioneabee Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 nah - its not brand related at all..............its just commonplace to leave them on.............mostly the over 60's (sorry colin ) or women (sorry sprinkles on here) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almeida1234 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 This guy really get's on my nerves!! A young (20 something) local guy near where I live purchased a 2009 black Mercedes 180C Kompressor last year sometime. One Sunday me & my Mrs where off out in my then car, a Civic Type R when this guy comes roaring up behind me in a 30mph zone (I was doing 30-35ish). He tail gates us for a second then goes for a dangerous overtake up a hill on an almost blind bend. Me and the Mrs comment to each other ~ basically what a wa**er but I do nothing. No beeping the horn or flashing the lights etc as tbh I hate that sort of thing anyway so wouldn't want to be a hypocrite. Anyway tonight I'm on my way home in the Zed after dropping my Mrs off at her parents ~ there is a long hill going up towards where I live so I'm cruising up it in the Zed which is just eating up the road in front of it no problem when I spot in my rear view mirror a set of lights from a car trying to catch up around the tight bends. When the hill finally levels out I'm cruising along at just above the posted limit when this prat come's racing up behind me & sits on my rear bumper ~ guess who? it's the same idiot in his Merc with his gormless mate along for the ride. Tbh I felt like stopping my car and getting out to tell him to f**k off tailgating me as I'm not going to race him around a built up area in his sh**ty 140 something bhp Merc. Really hoping I see this pr*ck crashed in a ditch one day so I can just laugh & point at him. Rant over. People like this always get away with anything that **** me right off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 nah - its not brand related at all..............its just commonplace to leave them on.............mostly the over 60's (sorry colin ) or women (sorry sprinkles on here) Definitely agree with it not being related to any particular vehicle brand as I've seen all sorts guilty of this. Tbh I don't think it's age related either though. Seen lot's of young drivers with fog lights on, not sure whether they think it's cool or just have no idea what they're for. Also lot's of older people who really should know better. I think it's possibly related to how stupid you are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they wait until you are alongside them, then thy indicate at the last moment and PULL OUT, forcing you into the on coming traffic..!! :rant: Not good but what annoys me about buses round my area is how their drivers will never pull completely up to the curb when picking up passengers ~ purposely making it impossible for you to get past them on most roads. Literally blocking you from overtaking them meaning you have to stop at all the bl**dy bus stops as well. Grrrr!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to call them Chav lights rather than fog lights as it used to always be the young chavs in their corsa`s and saxos who would drive about with front fog lights on & side lights as they thought it looked cool. But now adays i seem to see old pensioners doing the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) just come back from taking the boy on a driving lesson. reversing round a corner on a culde sac road into a small estate road which has a bend in it 20 yards further up. a hyundai 4x4 comes round said corner blaring horn and shaking fist - he's probably not doing more than 5mph and we were barely moving anyway - big L plates on the car (bright red Seat Arosa) - we're not exactly unobtrusive. blasts horn at us again as he goes past, so I reciprocate and indicate learner etc he comes to a stop and jumps out.............so do I - a fair few crossed words and then he starts backing off into his big 4x4 as I start to walk towards him (me iLittle :lol: ). i get back in the car as he looks like he's about to drive off, then he gets out again with a camera, so I jump out and start towards him again - he runs off pretty rapidly this time. Classic I've got a bigger car and I'm in the right and f*ck everyone else - let alone making allowances for a learner driver :rant: New Road - Church close junction on google maps below https://www.google.c...=!3m1!1e3?hl=en Edited April 20, 2014 by ioneabee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
