Anyone Want To Rant? About Anything? I Do.

I have to say that our postman is fantastic, same man all the time and is always very early, whistling and always has a quick chat.

people who cross the road using a zebra crossing, you stop and let them cross but do they give you a cheery wave......of course not

Drivers who dont indicate

Drivers who dont indicate

+1.

And drivers, especially lorry drivers who pull out in front of you.
I usually let most people out but not taxi drivers, they think they own the road IMO.

New rant for the day.....

BAD DRIVERS!!!!

I really do hate bad drivers. You know the ones, they go 45mph in a 60 zone and 50mph in a 30 zone.

WHY?!?!?

Also, people who brake for no reason. Straight road, within the speed limit, no cars in front of them and then the brake lights come on.

I may suffer with a touch of road rage.....but, if these idiots weren't on the road it would make my life a whole lot easier.

I second this one... Idk whats its like across the pond, but over here in the US, a majority of bad drivers are women imo. Dont take that the wrong way if your a woman in the US I said most not all. If you see a soccer mom in a mini van, you best keep your distance, theyll be the first to cut you off and run you off the road!

Dont forget people talking on their cell phones. If you cant drive the speed limit while doing it, then dont do it. They drive like 10mph under the speed limit and tap there brakes every 20ft! Grrr

Drivers that fail to acknowledge other cyclists as road users, we have just as much right to use it as you do, so don't treat us as if we're not there, when I'm indicating to turn right, it doesn't mean you can over take me. Some of these ignorant drivers should learn the highway code again - or even better, have their licenses taken from them, for the safety of not only themselves and the cyclist(s) but their neighbours too such as passengers and other road users.

Grumpy bus drivers annoy me too.

Morons that still insist on breaking the law by using their mobile phones whilst driving...I once got knocked off my bike by a woman on her phone, safe to say she got an ear-full, but was quite apologetic so it didn't bother me too much as I wasn't hurt.

I dont personally think cyclists should ride on the road, you're probably a good cyclist, but living in London, theres enough la-di-da sunday afternoon cyclists with no knowledge of the roads, its laws and ways, and apparently its my fault if I hit one?

The majority of cyclists that have died in London are women, on the inside of a lorry/bus turning left, what this means is, they are not educated, lorries/buses have blind spots, you should not be allowed to ride/drive on the road without a full uk licence no matter what the vehicle. Also, if I was driving at 5-10mph would I not get pulled over? I have a car, pay my road taxes, inflated fuel prices etc to drive at the speed limit, london roads are not the widest, I cant always overtake a cyclist. Pkus, this wave of Barclays rental bikes is A JOKE! Tourists riding around like its CENTER PARCS!!!

Standby, i get what you're saying tho, as there are untold dreadful drivers without a clue in the world an this is a danger to everyone...

Well, mine would be statements falling into the general category of "no offence, but (insert likely offensive statement here)."

I second this one... Idk whats its like across the pond, but over here in the US, a majority of bad drivers are women imo. Dont take that the wrong way if your a woman in the US I said most not all.

If you feel the need to tell certain people not to be offended by a statement, some of those people are going to be offended regardless of whether you think they should be.

Dont forget people talking on their cell phones. If you cant drive the speed limit while doing it, then dont do it. They drive like 10mph under the speed limit and tap there brakes every 20ft! Grrr

You'd rather that an obviously distracted driver speed up to create a more spectacular crash if one happens? I have to think that there's more to life than arriving on time. Several years back, I was one car in a line away from getting my vehicle obliterated by a distracted driver at an intersection. If I had been one slot forward, I'd certainly have preferred a driver going under the speed limit and tapping the brakes. I'll take a drunk, sleepy person, cell phone user, etc. going slowly over a faster one any day considering that it's less likely to put anybody in the hospital.

Maybe all of us bad women drivers are just trying to get away from you.

This, all over. I'd rather watch a show I hate then watch any Adverts.

 

[StandbySetting]

Would you be prepared to pay a high license fee for that to happen?
