Worst Driving you've seen?
 

come on whats the worst piece of driving you've seen?

For me its probably my own :o

oh wait no...

it was some ****** on the m6 who was just weaving in and out cutting people up. i hate when they do that

its one thing to do it when the traffic is at standstill but when ur moving at 80mph and u got a nitwit pullin in and out its too much

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

80 m.p.h.? Naughty! Maybe the guy was trying to drive in the left-hand lane, except when overtaking, as you're supposed to do. ;)

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

*l*

not when ur cutting other drivers and bargin in

I didn't say he was a good driver. :D

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

Some of the worst driving I've seen is on Audley Range in Blackburn, as drivers attempt to drive between or round the speed humps, rather than over them.

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

I actually saw a police car do that on Fairfield St!!
(and I do it too when there are no other cars about)

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

I wouldn't know where to start....

I see sooo many incidents I'd be here all day.

How about Traffic plod sending a text whilst doing 70mph down teh M62?

or the guy who was moving across into my lane ( I was on my bike) untill I knocked on his window to point out there was a bike there already!

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

Just depends on what you mean by 'bad driving' Mani ??

Have seen drivers pass me that broke the sound barrier, weavers who would be better on the snow slopes, u-turners whose skill at turning a corner would not be out of place on the Monte Carlo race track, drivers who move from the 3rd lane to a slip road within 100 yards in heavy traffic.

Yes, they are breaking the law, but have had to admire their skill sometimes.

So which one is it. ? :D

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

My own...it frightened me to death (almost literally!). :eek:

That's why I packed it in and gave the car to Mrs H!

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

Hey, a man who knows his place at last .. :D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

I'm a good driver I am :o

Must admit to doing the 3rd lane to slip road in one manouvre kate...realised I was about to miss the turn off for manchester airport so panicked :D

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

I found drivers in England were rather good. Nothing like driving up the New Jersey turnpike. If you drive 80 mph on there, you better be in the breakdown lane. It is normal to see some driving 90 - 100 mph. Must admit, does allow me to get back up to New England quicker then the 65 mph allowed!:cool::p

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

my three worst examples of 'bad driving' are

1 , the woman who thought it was ok to breast feed a baby and drive
2 , the woman applying eye make-up while driving in the fast lane
3 , being overtaken by a guy in the HOV lane orally inflating a blow-up doll

:eek: :eek:

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

can't really comment , go on then I am sure its my own driving:

I passed my test in an automatic, they did not have the theory test in those days...

I now wonder if I took my test in a manual one
would I have to take the theory?

and if I failed it would they take away my automatic licence

equally so if I failed both ..... maybe someone knows:

( I am thinking of taking manual lessons )

Worst one I have seen been a passanger in.

The Junction on Haslingden Old Road, the Major one that has had a lot of accidents.

The lad was driving from Queens Park way to Ossy at night, down the big dip and up the hill. the Give way at the top, well I dont think he knew it was there as before I knew it we have gone straight threw it @ 50 MPH ish.:eek:

God I went white and gave him the biggest bollocking ever, to say the least I have not got back into a car with him.

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

how about the lady 4x4 driver i met on a country lane who in sheer panic at seeing a coach coming in the opposite direction (bearing in mind you could have got an artic past me) promptly turned her wheels and put her shiny 4x4 into a hedge.
or the little old dear outside west end primary who when faced with the problem of an oncoming coach(not the widest of roads at school kicking out time when everyone is parked on both sides of the road), instead of pulling in to the side decided to pull a 3 point turn and promptly reversed her nissan micra into a garden wall.

to name just a couple.

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

yes you would have to take your theory and no they wouldn't take your auto licence away if you failed

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

Only 50!!! You can hit at least 90 down that bit :D


(remember the faster you are going the smaller the window of opportunity for someone going across your path to hit you. this really is a case of faster = better :D )

Just seen this

140mph YouTube boy racer facing jail | The Register

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

PMSL. 90+ is easy on the straight bit but, the top bend must have been fun at 50 especially when the crossroad appeared :D:D:D

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

It was only a Fiesta.:D

Fun. Never had as much fun in my life.:D

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

Nah, that bends easily good enough to be taken at 90 in any decent car(providing of course that you knew the road was going to be clear). as for the crossroads, he wouldn't have seen it before he was across it, its only 15 yds at most from the corner to the white lines, thinking distance at 50mph is 50 feet so he would have been halfway across the road before his brain had registered something was wrong.

I'm still wondering whats taking so long at getting the roundabout there though. I thought they had had the go ahead?

Re: Worst Driving you've seen?
 

That depends on who it is :D

Purchase of land has slowed it down. Well that is Lancashire County Council's excuse anyway. :mad:

I was being gererous and using teh figures that the Highway code quote :D
