I just had my best driving moment ever. On the way home from PC world, p*ssed off that they didnt sell female to female serial cables.
Some tw*t in a Benzo was up my arse, then overtook me, on a roundabout, cutting me up. He obviously didnt know the roads as he was in the wrong lane a few times and was blocked my parked cars, which he handled by just cutting some poor sod up.
I stayed behind him, but he kept speeding up to like 50 in a 30, whilst i chugged along at 30 watching him cut person after person up.
A mile down the road theres a set of lights, 2 lanes, and hes stuck in a long quewe of traffic and i stroll on past in the second lane straight to the front.
For the next mile he was stuck behind me doing 30! I was laughing all the way home.

Lets just hope he wasnt trying to get to someone seriously ill etc...

What were allowed to risk over peoples lives when its an emergency? Ill make a note.
"Sorry officer, I need to get to the hosptial"
:roll:
Nice one punk. Its the nature of traffic, it doesnt matter how quick the person in front of you is going youll allways meet them again at the next junction.

If my partner/spouse/family member was dying and I had to rush them to the hospital or rush to them to bring them some important meds I would have no hesitation in speeding, that doesnt mean I would drive dangerously.

me too probably, but if it were that urgent he could of just overtook me, instead he just stayed up my arse. Weird really, i thought hed overtake me anyway just cos he was a pillock.
-
I just drive at whatever speed I want and if someones going slower than I want to go I overtake them.

*chuckle*
Nice one, love doing stuff like that to the morons.
I think my favourite was the utter idiot that kept tailgating me along the main road. He was driving up my arse and refusing to overtake where there where 2 lanes. I floored it, he figured he had a race and overtook me just as i slammed on before the speed camera. I was doing a fair lick, and he was doing over 80 in the 30 zone. At the lights he was somewhat angry and kept revving up and looking over, so i revved up and lett he clutch slip slightly, he shot straight through the lights. I had seen the coppers in the car coming down the road behind us, he hadnt :)

i just enjoy taking loads of risks and getting "the rush"

If thats your best driving moment.. you either want to get our more, or I should congratulate you on passing your test last week.

Lifting two wheels on my hatchback when swerving to avoid a jackknifing tractor trailer whilst on my way to a monster truck show at the Seattle Kingdome in 94 would be rehashing the past...
Couple days ago, I was riding my fixed gear bike a few miles back home from a white trash part of town. Had to pass through a bank parking lot before returning to the main road. Couple teen or barely twenty year old guys in a Chevy Caprice V8 SS see me in the rear view. They make a burn out cloud with the rear tires to f*ck with me. I ride through, holding my breath. Catch up with them two miles down the road, without trying. Lean into the open car 12" from the kids face and ask, "So, does your cock feel bigger now?". :D Silence...

Indeed. In the above case he was. 50+ in a 30. Your just asking to kill someone anyday.

Thanks for the insightful contribution, for anyone else whos wondering i passed two years ago and drive about 30,000 miles a year.
Eggtastico (not the same egg who left a while a go is it?) why not try contributing instead of being an insulting prick. This is a forum afterall.

If you read it as an insult thats upto you. I have no idea who this Egg is & must be somthing to do with the few PMs Ive been getting saying welcome back,etc. Somthing mixed up there.
Anyway, back to your post. Im usually that Twat in a Benzo weaving in & out of traffic & end upstuck behind some inconsiderate prick doing 30mph when the road is more than safe enough to go 40-45. Road Speeds are well out of date. 30 & 40 are to slow for the majority of roads & 30 is to fast for a lot of built up areas. Its a faster world now that it was years ago & I also drive 30k miles a year & have done for 10yrs+.
If you get off on thinking youve slowed us down, then good for you.. believe me, once i pass the sunday driver, I quickly make up anytime lost in eating up the road ahead. a mile doing 30 only takes 2mins. Thats easy to make up. Its when you get stuck behind 2x tractors on a 15mile lane is the problem :-D

Driving the speed limit is following the law, but if you think its inconsiderate, then indeed youve described yourself perfectly. Driving is a privlege, not a right, and by the sound of it, people in the UK would be a nudge safer if folks like yourself got your license suspended.

Delusional with a "worlds out to get me" attitude as well. Nice.

Wheres the fun in that? company vehicle, company insurance. I have no plans on being a taxi driver, so a clean licence aint needed

Inconsiderate is going 60 in the overtaking lane.
Inconsiderate is hogging the lane when its safe to move over.
Inconsiderate is not leaving a gap for traffic to change lane.
Inconsiderate is hogging the inside of a round-about & then cutting across 3 lanes of traffic to take their exit.
The worst drivers I see are those who are going to slow with the flow of traffic. They cause so many problems & accidents. Ive lost count the amount of times Ive seen accident near misses because of what I listed above. I drive fast, but im a safe driver. Zero Accidents & only 3 points for going 90 in a 70. No biggy. I guess your not from the UK, so until you drive over here for a considerable amount of time to understand our driving conditions, you shouldnt lecture about the safety. Slow Drivers have slow reactions. Oh & the worlds not out to get me.. its just slowing me down.

Not a company licence though is it? :roll: We can only hope you receive appropriately rough justice tbh.

Unless the weather or traffic conditions mean that 60 is the safe top speed to do.
Inconsiderate is hogging the lane when its safe to move over.
Ill give you that one.
Inconsiderate is not leaving a gap for traffic to change lane.
What? so people can shoot up the right hand lane and dive into the traffic queue at the front? Hardly. If everyone else has had to wait then the wankers shooting up the outside lane can bloody well wait as well.
Inconsiderate is hogging the inside of a round-about & then cutting across 3 lanes of traffic to take their exit.
Sounds like you have been on the roundabout at the end of the M65.
The worst drivers I see are those who are going to slow with the flow of traffic. They cause so many problems & accidents. Ive lost count the amount of times Ive seen accident near misses because of what I listed above.
Do you mean slower than the flow of traffic, or at the same speed as the rest of the traffic?

Bollocks, the people who say that are invariably the ones who think that 120 on the motorway is their legal right, and drive up behind you on the motorway flashing their headlights when you are overtaking because you made them go less than 100. Slow and hesitant people are dangerous, as are those who run out foot to the floor everywhere without thought to anything but themselves.
-
Clicky forum here huh? No wonder its not very busy. I bet you all got each others house address & mobile numbers.
Do you send each other Xmas & Bday cards? or do you all just meet every month to pat each others bums & show your knees & left nipple?
-
Not that clicky at all Id say, your complete disregard for other road users is what is bringing everyone down on you.
I drive fast, but remarks like:
Wheres the fun in that? company vehicle, company insurance. I have no plans on being a taxi driver, so a clean licence aint needed
will not earn you much respect from anyone here.
-
Firstly, its "cliquey" ;) Not that it is.
Secondly, feeling a bit left out? :P :lol:
-
thirdly, do you want a christmas card?

i dont agree 100% with the slow drivers causing accidents
sure they are a pain in the arse
but the amount of times ive seen someone in a merc or bmw cut up someone on a roundabout or overtake on a slip road takes the piss
sure i drive like a twat, i overtake around corners and get right up someones backside when i do overtake, but there are some things that i dont do, because I may be a good driver and know what im doing, but others do not

I think we drive the same then. I dont cut up. Infact, I wont even lane change until I can at least see the number plate of the car behind.
As for the Board being Clicky/Cliquey or however you want it spelt. This is coming from a new member & believe me, it is.
I would guess the majority know each other from before this forum as everyone seems to have joined around the same month & there dont seem to be that many other posters who joined months later.. (everyone signed up in March bar 1 person apart from me)
Doesnt it make you wonder why people dont stay around?
anyway, I came to talk about trixbox & nobody posted much help. So like I said in that post. Im off before Im noticed Im here.
Whoever is Chief of the board. Can I suggest a new avatar for you?

the board has been around for many years, ive been on it for like 5, which is why i know a few people. We changed BBS software a few times, which is why we have the same registration date.
And we welcome new members, and even though I think youre rude and egotistic I dont hold grudges.
But you openly admitted you drive like an idiot, and you think its okay. And you dont have to be on a forum to act the way you are and get people reacting the way we do.
Next time youre having a conversation with any respectful person why not bring up the fact you like to break the speed limits, you think its fun to do so regardless of safety.
Im 20 years old, of course i speed from time to time, and sometimes roads are safer than the allocated speed limit, but acting like a cock about it is what causes trouble. Arrogant, rude, insensitive drivers are the reason the roads are such a dangerous place.

Best driving moment? After getting cut up by an elderly lady in her little fiat I followed close behind her car and put the cap of my uniform on my head.
Few hundred yards later she pulled over thinking I was police and waited for the worst while I just cruised by... :twisted:
Wicked, arent I? :mutley:

altho saying that, i dont drive like a twat all the time, its only when im driving work vehicles because you cant take a nice and leisurely pace in them, even tho i dont do nice leisurely pace :D

Heh, you "gique" you :P
I in no way have crushed this man in combination with Red, Dave, Cypher, Madrocker in a crazed pileon round sams :D
You drive like an idiot Eggtastico, you see laws that are meant to keep traffic behaving predictably, yet you completely ignore them all.
You do realise if everyone did this... you would not be able to roughly predict peoples actions on the roads, and in fact average speeds on the roads would drop.
My fave "riding" on the road moment so far, is skirting around a mile long traffic jam on my bike, simple... yet was caused because I was happily waiting in the queue until someone walking past mentioned "damn traffic eh mate" at me so I pulled out, and just overtook the lot.
Great buzz :) Just a slight arse getting across 2 lanes of nose to tail traffic to the inside lane again to go left.
