What boils your p$$$
kj - 8/4/14 at 02:08 PM

Mine are we pay our taxes for cycle tracks and you still get them riding along next to it in the dark wearing dark colours and no lights.
and why can't drivers not stick to one lane, at first i thought all Nissan Qashgai's had steering faults.

Slimy38 - 8/4/14 at 02:20 PM

Actually, having now driven a Kia sportage and realised how difficult it was to keep in a lane on the motorway, I know why I'm extra careful around 'chelsea tractors'. Obviously that's no excuse but I actually felt nervous driving it because of the complete lack of feedback in the steering.

Flashy bike lights are just as bad as no lights, I don't know about anyone else but I can't gauge distances with a flashing light.

Jon Ison - 8/4/14 at 02:48 PM

A few to be going on with.

Front fog lights incorrectly used but more so rear fog lights left on once you get behind a vehicle.

Pillocks that give me free laser eye treatment by sitting on the foot brake for 5 minutes at junctions etc rather than use the handbrake.

Idiots that have to pull up to a complete standstill at a roundabout that is 100% clear.

Twunts that pull out on you making you brake (it's usually clear for miles behind you) then potter along at 25mph olny to turn right a mile on and hold you up a second time.

Numptys that potter along at 40mph along NSPL roads then continue at the same pace through a 30 limit.

Ar$eholes not indicating, coming quickly around the roundabout, causing you to have to suddenly stop. Then they indicate off as if it makes up for it.

Cyclists - single file you tw4ts, not four a breast - it's not the Tour de France. And you wonder why I hurl abuse at you?

Bin men, why do you have to throw the recycle bin in front of my drive, and why can't you place it down so not to crack the bloody thing in half?

Talking of bin men, local authorities, if you hadn't taken years of back handers and fiddling your expenses, perhaps you could keep my street lights on and collect my bin every week.

I think that's enough for now.

sdh2903 - 8/4/14 at 03:31 PM

Some angry people in here

Tell you something can someone tell me where all these tax paid cycle routes are? Because we are pitifully behind the rest of Europe who do actually cater for cyclists. Also can you tell me how I cycle to the cycle track (which I always use where possible) and from cycle track to work? Teleport perhaps? Oh no I have to use the road I do apologise profusely. Idiot

I do however cycle in single file, don't dress up in fancy costume just to look like wiggo and use bright led non flashing rear lights.

I prefer the ones who pull out on you in good time with plenty of opportunity to accelerate up to speed, but instantly decide to stop and turn right. It's one thing adjusting your speed due to an extra car, it's another to suddenly have one ton of metal and moron at a complete stop in front of you!

You could be right - seriously.
We hired one of those abominations on holiday last year.
I gather it has electric steering and you can keep it.
It has the most insensitive, vague and zero feed-back steering I've ever come across - bordering on dangerous.

I hate the way petrol stations are now supermarkets, really annoys me sticking £40 in the car, having the £40 cash in my hand purely wanting to pay for my fuel and go but now I have wait for ages a massive queue with

People doing their monthly shop
People wanting Coffee and cakes
Kids at school lunchtimes, dozens and dozens of them wanting sweets and Pot Noodles

They should have an express till just for people who want fuel.

sdh2903 - 8/4/14 at 05:04 PM

People boarding planes who cannot just get in their fecking seat and stay put. Instead they dawdle then they need to sort their coats/luggage/phone/ipod/ipad/kindle/book/gossip mag/and every other worldly possession that they have to take to Tenerife. It then takes me an age to get off the bloody aircraft at work past all the dodderers.

Cyclists.

Especially when they ride down the middle of the road, take offence at the abuse you hurl at them for riding like a tit.

To make it worse they then overtake you at the roundabout and flip you the bird.

You eventually catch up with them and it turns out they work at the same place as you!

"Concealed Drive/Entrance" signs. Why are you telling me - you're the ones pulling onto the road, so you be careful, or move your effing entrance.

Stupid lights that come on when turning

People who ride their stupid unpredictable non road tax paying blasted dangerous HORSES on the road.

Cyclist who jump lights or even worse ride two abreast. Grrr! In my golf GT TDI mk 4 I pull round them and floor it kicking out a great gout of asthma causing smog.

Farmers and their road blocking, frankly dangerous, non iva radius complying, tax payer subsidised tractors.

We'll forgive you.

The City of London is not a good place for a cyclist to jump a red light - you are likely to get a cyclist fresh out of the police training college rugby team hammering up behind you and pulling you over! I saw this quite a few times when I worked there, and I even saw them chase down and pull over a couple of courier motorbikes who'd made illegal turns. It was really weird to see a group of really fit and wiry police men and women in black Lycra with "POLICE" written on their tops.

Oh - and living in a country area, I really agree about motorists who drive 40mph everywhere, whether on a NSL road or in a 30mph village. They're often the ones who can't be bothered to stay on their own side of the road, cutting corners whenever they feel like it. It's sheer laziness.

Standing behind someone in the queue at the supermarket check out who then looks at the person on the till in what seems to be utter astonishment at being asked to pay, and then proceeds to spend five minutes looking for their debit card.

Ditto at airport security - get ready to put your stuff in the trays, don't wait until you get there and then stand there looking blank.

By the way, be careful how you respond as a cyclist to abusive motorists. I was cycling one day when I heard a car horn behind me. Assuming it was some impatient motorist, I turned around and started to hurl abuse at them only to realise it was my best friends parents just saying hello (oops).

The worst part about Baby on Board signs is that they are actually meant to be for safety. Original idea was that you put the sign in the car when there was a baby on board and then removed when there was no baby in the car. In the event of an accident the emergency services would then know if there had been a child on board that had been thrown out of the car, regardless of the baby seat being in there. We used to do emergency excercises and did one with a car being hit by a train. Everyone missed the baby thrown 20ft out of the car into the bushes.

MikeRJ - 9/4/14 at 09:24 AM

Cretins that hold up cars on NSL roads by driving at 40mph, but then have no qualms about doing 40mph through villages or residential areas with posted 30 limits. If you do find a place to overtake they often get quite huffy, and will tailgate you when you slow down in a 30 limit.

ashg - 9/4/14 at 12:53 PM

People that drive dangerously slow on nsl roads. It encourages people in a rush behind them to make dangerous risky overtakes they would never normally consider. Its most likely the no1 cause of head on collisions

Slimy38 - 9/4/14 at 01:42 PM

One I'm seeing more and more now, the handbrake sensor light. Since when was it a handbrake sensor light? It's the test circuit for the low brake fluid level light!!

(unless I am mistaken and there are actual handbrake sensor lights now?)

Regarding the cyclists - I don't disagree with the dark colours and lights issue, but 9 times out of 10 the cycle lanes are either dangerous, inadequate, full of broken glass or just plain slow (crossing every side road and having to give way when you could just ride on the road as you ARE traffic like everyone else).

Cyclists don't HAVE To use cycle lanes (in most cases), and only nervous/inexperienced bike users WANT to use them.

They have every right to use the road as per every other car/bus/motorbike. Why do you feel the need to judge? And how exactly does one ride a bike like it's an Audi?

Yep, cyclists jumping red lights and trying to be invisible. I know one day I'm going to plough into one of them.

I'll never forget the time I nearly did, transfixed at the small dot of light going up and down at the side of the road (the reflector in the guy's pedal, that was all I could see of him!)

I can live with that, but the one that got me going into the petrol station shop and shouting for the owner of one of the cars, was having bought my petrol and bought a car wash ticket, I'd moved to the car wash and waited and waited as some idiot had parked in front of it and then gone in to browse the shop before buying his own ticket
