Slow drivers.

They're pure scum. A whole other species. I hate them. They hinder normal people from going about their daily business. They are a vermin. They drive 80 kph on a 120 road and 40 kph on 80 roads. They should hand in their licenses and stop. Full stop. I hate them.

Hate is a strong word , I get slightly annoyed

And you can't overtake because...?

fasttalkerchat · 30-03-2013 11:04PM

Shouldn't be on the roads if they are unable to drive at the set speeds.

HondaSami · 30-03-2013 11:04PM

Motoring forum is for fast drivers.

FREDNISMO · 30-03-2013 11:04PM

no scummier than tailgaters

OOH there's a mystery blank option!

No, they're fine

Not always possible. Continuous white line. I'd be done for overtaking on one whereas this vermin can continue on at 70-80% of the speed limit unscathed and unpunished.

I have no problem with slow drivers once they realise that the hard shoulder may be used to allow others to overtake safely. What bothers me are those who sit on top of the white line as if setting an example for those behind them.

Slow drivers are "pure scum"? C'mon CB..........tell us how you really feel.

Id rather be behind a slow river than be around an angry driver like yourself.

Turtyturd · 30-03-2013 11:06PM

They are annoying....hate should be reserved for taxi drivers and cyclists.

Mr. Wong · 30-03-2013 11:07PM

Utter bastards, the lot of them.

Not a driver, but - isn't part of the exercise to remain unscathed and unpunished?

Rage and driving don't mix well. Maybe you should hand up your licence?

I chose option " ", some slow driver are a real pain, especially those who appear to deliberately make their cars harder to overtake by hogging the centre line.

There are different speed limits for different vehicles - a towing vehicle has a maximum speed limit of 80km/h - are you suggesting they shouldn't be on the roads with higher speed limits?

No it's not, it's to get to my destination as fast as humanly possible. These old farts in their brand spanking new poxy Nissan fucking Micras crawling along at a snails place should be executed!

..there are three more of the tools stuttering along in convoy behind the lead tool. One I can pass, three, cummon to f*** ye slow, doddery kfjghdlghgashes.

Apart from that, they're fine.

I thought that was teleportation?

There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a hot headed eejit get annoyed by a slow driver and overtake them only to be one car in front at the next set of traffic lights.

30-03-2013 11:18PM

Slow drivers annoy me too. Especially if they hog the overtaking lane.

Or in an area where no overtaking is allowed, and with good reason. And even if it were, they happily drive all over their lane and out into the middle thereby making it more unsafe to overtake

Sometimes, I just can't be bothered to overtake the slow sods, so I just leave a gap big enough for a bus (I've never had a bus use it) Stirling Moss can just go for it and I'll move over and let him go, safe in the knowledge that I will be following him for the next 20km as the road has virtually no decent overtaking opportunities!

Chemical Burn · 30-03-2013 11:21PM

No, they're fine

If a slow driver is doing 10 kph or more below the speed limit and holding up 1 normal person, when an opportunity to pull over arises and allow the normal person to pass, and the slow driver misses this opportunity, this 'person' should receive 2 penalty points.

duckman!! · 30-03-2013 11:22PM

No, they're fine

i dont have road rage but when ur stuck behind a person going 50kph on 100kph country road where theres no where to overtake
for miles drives me f**king mad.
people have places to be!!!

Yes, particularly if they refuse to use a filter lane which is there expressly for the purpose of catching up to the speed/letting faster people by!
Had that this morning. Grrr.
Instead they waited until we were well into the "can't overtake here" part of the road before slowing down yet another 10kph and wobbling around, presumably intending to be helpful but way too late

af_thefragile · 30-03-2013 11:23PM

I hate the overtake lane hoggers.

People who clearly have never bothered reading the rules of the road and just sit there in the overtake lane of a motorway doing 80-100kmph like some sort of RSA sponsored speed restrictor... Y U NO PULL OVER?!?!?!!!!!
