Your driving pet peeves...

Black cabs. Act like they own the road, belching black soot whilst doing u turns immediately after they pull out in front of you with jaundice yellow headlights. Even worse as a passenger.

I had a very special and basic individual do that to me today, and he absolutely lost his sh1t when I shook my head at him. Seems to be the way with these modern day angry, entitled f'ckwits. They can't handle being pointed out they are in the wrong.

I wonder if it's because of no discipline being dished out in the way they were brought up - 'mummy's little precious angel wouldn't be naughty', so the result is they can never be wrong - and don't understand the basics of right and wrong.
Another possibility is that they were brought up by 'couldn't give a sh1t' , knuckle dragging parents - producing young morons who throw bricks and stuff at fire fighters and ambulance crews. Either way, it's a very sad reflection on today's society. So much for progress.....

Gawd knows mate. I think it's just society in general becoming more selfish and self centered. I had 3 people do the same thing to me and my mate when we were on our push bikes today. Just blatantly pulled out of junctions in front of us. I am by no means a militant lycra warrior. Being both a car and mountain bike enthusiast, I respect both groups of road user, but the standards of driving and respect for other people is massively on the decline.
I blame it on police presence being practically zero these days, especially in my area. Having been on holiday to a few places recently where armed police patrol the streets, and I mean proper combat gear and MP5s dangling from their shoulders......I think that's what the UK needs. Something for the throbbers of society to be afraid of.

One of my biggest driving pet peeves if driving too close to the vehicle in front of you. I hate that. Some drives get close, you can't even see their headlights. I get an urge to just slam the breaks when that happens. lol

Just slow right down for a bit then boot it, slow down again and do the same if they run up to you again. Most times the tailgater gets the message after that.
