And the one where someone cuts you off dangerously close to your front fender and when you beep your horn, give you that hand gesture which is a twist of the wrist and all five fingers held rigid that means:
WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!!! |

Forgot some...
If you are an old man or a woman, you have no need to look out for other cars when making a manouver as they will brake/swerve to avoid you. This includes pulling out at junctions which can be performed with or without a mobile phone call in progress.
If you have a turbo car, its obligatory to make best use of the dump valve so everyone can hear your powerful specimen.. If not, make sure you rev the vehicle as hard as possible to make best use of the illegal silencer.

i think some of the driving is pretty good actually, i hate slow fukers who do 20km/h under the limit.
they brake form miles away to slow down to do a turn, pull out in front of you slowly, brake for orangelights.
here in Aus the worst offenders are Asians, and Africans then the europeans (old Ones of course).
All i can say about the Asians and Africans and Indians they shouldnt drive, just stick to riding bikes and running like they did before they got here, they have no confidence, drive slow and brake for everything and for no reason in the middle of the road.
as someone else said whats wrong with living on the edge?? haha |

This sounds a bit racist to me.
Have you ever heard of keeping in the speed limit? If everyone "lived on the edge" we would all be dead, its people like you who cause accidents, not prevent them.
Act your age!!!  |

Actually research in the UK suggests that the safest speed is around 15% above the posted limit on most roads..
Driving too slowly causes aggression, brings about a false sense of security leading to people not taking enough care and taking further risks such as hanging an arm out the window or propping a mobile phone on ones shoulder..
Of course, I am referring to the UK, you would never see anyone driving with a mobile phone or hanging ones arm out of the window here...

G.Man I agree with you that the bloody foreigners are the worst drivers in the UK along with , wait for it , women and dogs. Get a dog behind the wheel and you are in trouble . I find the Kurds and the Africans lousy drivers , the Moroccans , Algerians are pretty good , as for the Cypriots , well they are all bloody driving instructors. .
Any one ever watched Alf Garnet. ?
Seriously now , the Cypriots are numero uno. The worst in Europe and to top it all up , they think they are gods gift to cars. !! Have you seen those huge exhausts , I mean who in their right mind would increase the size of his rear in order to increase the unpleasant and smelly backfires ? What a load of farts . |

i was joking i don drive living on the edge, but i stick to the limit or about 10km above it, whatever is suitable and comfortable at the time.
Some drivers are too slow and are very uncoordinated and not very confident and are a hazard to others, jabbing brakes fo example.
By the i havent had an accident in ten years since i started driving and i have avoided many accidents if it werent for my good skills, and i tell you know those time wouldnt have been my ffault.
I hate those bloody exhaust all the young blokes do it these days, in their little 4 cyl cars. What ever happened to a good old v8, now thats the sound id like to hear. |
