Couple of pointers for future reference that I'd like to give to the driver of this silver Rover...

1) a queue of traffic will NOT move any faster the more you shout and swear at the driver in front of you.
2) attempting to overtake me by driving in a right-turn-only lane will not get you in front of me. The only outcome possible in this situation is you're going to really piss me off and I'll spend the rest of the time you're behind me driving really slowly.

Were you really as angry as you appeared to be? God I hope so - you miserable shit.

This blonde doesn't so much deserve an entry on this site as she deserves an entire website dedicated to her and her antics, all while driving a blue Clio - suggesting that she was probably a hairdresser or something like that.

She must have been late for something as she was driving rather fast, squealing her tyres when pulling away from a standstill and such like. We were behind her for about 15 minutes and saw quite clearly that she was putting on her makeup, doing her hair - you know, the sort of girly things that girls like to do, usually BEFORE they leave the house. This led to at least 3 occasions where her car swerved onto the other side of the road which would have caused absolute mayhem had anything been coming in the opposite direction, seeing as we were travelling at around 60-70MPH.

Should she ever actually read this article I can't finish this post without mentioning the fact that as she was using her rear view mirror while doing her make-up / hair / etc., it was angled in such a way so that I could see right down her top. And for that, whoever you are, I thank you very much - great tits :o)

You know that whole "blonde = dumb" thing that's been going for as long as the sky has been blue? For years mankind has struggled to find absolute proof of this, but today I bring you not one but TWO perfect examples.

You see, the driver of each of these two cars was blonde.

They were also both seen, at a petrol station, smoking a cigarette.

AT THE SAME TIME.

Seriously, what are the odds of two people that stupid being in the same place, at the same time, doing something as amazingly ignorant as that?

Another white van, another nutsack of a driver.

Not quite sure what it is with people that drive white vans that makes some of them act like obnoxious, self-centered shits - but another quality example of this reared its head just the other day when this guy dodged across 3 lanes of a traffic island, only to drift back across to the lane he was originally in as he exited, causing several other cars to swerve to avoid him.

Nice work - keep 'em coming...

Ok, now it's certainly not every day that I shout at another car while I'm not even driving, but in this case I made an exception.

While a friend of mine was driving straight across a traffic island, this arsehole decided to pull out in front of us at such a slow speed (we're talking about 5-10mph here) that we thought he would realise we were there and stop. Remember though, this blog is about people showing a complete lack of common sense and this guy didn't dissapoint. He carried on straight across in front of us, causing much heavy braking, squealing of tyres and a close call with the car behind nearly rear-ending us too.

Seriously. If you EVER see a silver Corsa while you're out driving - check the number plate. If it's this guy, get out of his way. Quickly. Before he kills himself, and takes you with him.

White vans. They've got a bit of a reputation dont they... "Driven by arseholes" is probably a common criticism. To be fair I'm not in a position to argue, having had a white van being driven on behalf of Dodd Group (www.doddgroup.com) pull out in front of me on a traffic island the other day.

Obviously feeling that he'd not done enough to piss me off, the driver of this vehicle then decided that he needed to cut me up and pull across into my lane as I was about to overtake him - despite the fact that there were no other cars in the lane that he was already in.

However I would like to thank the driver - I'd been gagging to nail someone driving like a twat in a company vehicle since I started this site, and was beginning to lose hope of it ever happening.

Phew!! That was a close one!!

I almost didn't see this bright red Metro (well you know, it was a Rover Whatever but let's face it, rebadge it all you like it's STILL a sodding Metro) and am eternally grateful to the driver who had thoughtfully put on their fog lamps to ensure that I'd be able to see them due to obviously poor visibility.

I mean, with it being 9pm in the middle of summer and there being barely a cloud in the sky I could have very easily drove straight into it, was it not for the burning feeling that I got in my fucking retinas that alerted me to another vehicle on the road.

Thanks.

The driver of this awful coloured car, the make & model of which I really couldn't be arsed to note down, must have a different version of the Highway Code to me. I'm sure somewhere in the copy that I own it mentions how you should never force another driver to alter his speed or direction as a result of your driving.

What it definitely does NOT say is "When pulling away from the kerb ensure that there is another car approaching from behind. Wait until the last possible moment and then pull out in front of them, causing them to brake hard and steer to avoid a collision, and then proceed at a speed of 15MPH to ensure that maximum annoyance occurs".

Not so much a case of idiot driving, but I just HAD to mention this car. I'm not totally sure, but I believe it started life as a Ford Escort - however by the time I encountered it yesterday it had a metallic blue paintjob and a soft-top & spoiler combination that, well, I can only speculate that perhaps the person responsible may be slightly lacking in the "taste" department.

Seriously though guys, you gave me a right laugh on the way home from work yesterday - and I salute you.

Thanks!

The driver of this distinctly ghey-looking light blue Astra could probably do with a refresher course on a couple of points that the highway code is quite clear on.

1) A roundabout is there for you to give way to traffic from the right, but when you get an opening you move onwards. What you're NOT supposed to do is sit there watching all the pretty coloured cars go round.

2) The national speed limit for a road through the countryside is NOT 35mph. It's a *teeny* bit faster than that. Going any faster than that might sounds a bit frightening, but why not give it a go? You might just enjoy it.

Somebody needs to tell the driver of this green Rover 216SI that wearing a fluorescent yellow vest does NOT mean that you don't need to take any notice of the white lines that are drawn on the road, particularly on roundabouts.

Prick.

The very blonde driver of this dark blue BMW must be living a high-powered, full speed, maximum tilt lifestyle. I mean, the phone call that she was making on her mobile while travelling on the M6 must have been *VERY* important.

I can only speculate that it was her stylist, calling to arrange her next appointment to get her roots done.

Perhaps. But surely it's not just me that is growing increasingly concerned at the number of people on our streets every day driving their cars like the rules just don't apply to them. You know the type I'm talking about - maybe you're one of them yourself.

I've decided to 'out' them, while maybe, just **maybe** having a little fun in the process.
