Share your experiences with awful drivers

adamshred

I thought this would be an interesting topic for a thread because I'm sure theres a lot of you out there with stories to share!

I've had a few but the best one so far was watching an old woman leave a parking spot of Lidl in Dun Laoighre/ Foxrock and sweep the side mirror clean off a 2009 Clio ( as new) and she didn't even notice.

Vertakill

Was driving behind one my neighbours a couple months ago.
He's about 80 and drives a Yaris and other than being incredibly slow and stabbing the brakes randomly, everything seemed somewhat ok... until we reached a small hump-back bridge which has an ever-so-slight bend on it.

Instead of going up and over the bridge like a normal person, he decided to go up and right at the peak, switch into the oncoming traffic's lane.
He went over the top in the wrong lane and then continued down this little bridge for about 3 seconds until he realised he was on the wrong side of the road.

This is a fairly busy part of road and most people go pretty quick up/over it as it's not a steep incline/decline, despite having no visibility of the other side. Luckily there were no cars coming toward us.

What a story! I have decided that a good number of folk down here where I live are still not aware of how to use a roundabout and go around it anyway they like apart from the correct way and as far as signalling goes..forget it. Blinding you with lights and not using dimmers..so dangerous. Driving with overloaded lorries of hay or what ever wobbling along merrily oblivious to those behind. Drink driving still rampant in some rural villages, small children sitting in front seat often not secured, children standing beside the driver on moving tractors, the list is endless. Where are the guards when all this is going on? You even hear people calling pubs to let the ones inside know that the guards are about. These are the same irresponsible selfish people we see then crying at funerals of those who were killed whilst after drink driving. Why does the mentality of so many have a problem understanding the risk to precious life, or is it after all not so precious to some? Makes me very sad to see this attitude prevail. I am far from a perfect driver, but am not an irresponsible one either. Sorry have deviated a little from thread, but all connected to driving so hope it's ok.

you left out "did anyone think about the children"

Please stop dragging a potentially interesting thread off topic...

My wife (when she drove) did all the things that would have driven me mental if I was in the car behind. Slow, leaving a massive gap between her and the car in front, likely to jump on the brakes for no reason whatsoever (possibly going 1km/h faster than she was comfortable with), could not reverse out of a parking space to save her life (or reverse into one either).

Luckily we live in an area that is reasonable well serviced by public transport so she does not need it any more (touch wood!!).

Leaving work yesterday, the road outside the business park can get pretty busy so you have to bide your time to get out. But there was a learner driver who missed every single oportunity! I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt but even two cars before me had driven into the other lane to get out. If I hadn't have done that I still be there now!

si_guru

@havetoquit... I agree. EVERY freaking roundabout in Ireland... wrong lane, swooping the apex and never any indicators.

Lando Griffin

At traffic lights this very morning, and being the first first in line of traffic I keep an eye on the other traffic light to see when it goes red so I can engage first gear and be ready to go as soon as my light goes green.
Done this and ready to take off when BEEP BEEP behind me, looked in mirror and a woman sitting in Jeep beckoning me to go!
So I took off slowly and carefully and 2 seconds later she pulls into a petrol station.

Driving home one day on a secondary road in Kildare...Saw a tractor coming in the opposite direction..a lil old lady had decided she was going to overtake the tractor...not a whole lot of space between us though, so I pulled over to the left to avoid her hitting me, but the tractor absolutley minced the back passeger side of her car with it's massive rear wheel...bits flying everywhere...she didn't even bat an eyelid and just kept driving...

Mr Benevolent

Thread title of the day imo. You do realise that every person who responds to this thread has publicly admitted to being a bad driver (including me)?

R32

Some of the worst driving can be found in car parks,had to spend 2 hours in a car park a few weeks back and some of the things you'd see would shock you!Cars left sprawled across 2,3 and 4 spaces!People bumping into other parked cars and getting out and walking away totally unconcerned.Watching someone trying to manoeuvre into the space next to you can be nail biting,had to keep my hand on the horn constantly!...One woman had parked next to a pillar with her wheels locked facing away from the pillar,she arrives back,leaps into her car and trys to reverse out too quickly and completely ruined the side of her reasonably new Honda Accord,her mirror crashed to the ground and her driver side doors were very badly damaged,she gets out,tosses her shatterd mirror onto her passenger seat and drives off completely unfazed

Another thing I noticed which seems very common is the amount of people who instead of relying on their mirrors when reversing into a space,seem to reverse and reverse untill they feel the thud of the wall and then just get out happy as larry and go about their business:eek:

Guy:Incognito

Roundabouts are great. I regularly encounter women just sitting there at entrances to roundabouts to my right waiting for me to go. This happens even when I'm comeing from 50-60 yards away from the roundabout. Even more worrying are the ones that stop on the roundabouts and wave you out like they are doing you a favour.

I dont know if a high percentage of women are just scared by the thoughts of a roundabout or what.


Not meaning to sound like I'm singalling out women here but I've been noticing a lot of their traits lately. A good few times in the last few days I've come to a stop at red lights with women in thje lane beside me stopped a full car length or more from the line. I dont understand that. Plus at a lot of junctions there are so far back that they are not on the inductive loop in the ground. I sometimes wonder how long they have been sitting there.

Hi BigEejit, I beg to differ here. How did I drag this subject off topic? It is about bad driving is it not and if the points made are relevant then I saw it fitting to mention them. The part about the children was written so people WOULD consider the safety of the children when reading, so how was that not thinking about them? Perhaps I touched a nerve there and no offence was meant. I basically just spoke truthfully of my own expereinces, nothing more ok?

The use of the word 'cager' does little to endear bikers to the average motorist. Wouldn't it be better to raise awareness of bikers among motorists, rather than deliverately alienating the very people most likely to kill you?

Haha, figured I'd get a response like that.

When I say 'cagers' I don't just mean car drivers, I mean the tunnel vision, sticking at 70KPH regardless of road conditions and speed limits, never looking around, thinking they're completely safe in their little glass and metal bubble type drivers.

I'm sure you know the type :pac:

Cuddlesworth

Came across a huge tailback on the M1 early on a Saturday heading north. After about five minutes moving along between lines of cars(<--Motorbike) I finally came across two old lady's driving a Punto and Micro doing 80kph side by side. Chin touching the steering wheel, eyes fixed in front and no awareness of anything around her.

Curious, I pulled in behind. I was on company time and in no rush.

They made it all the way to the toll bridge doing this. Then old lady who was fixated on remaining in the overtaking lane realized that with the line of cars tailgating each other right behind might make changing lanes a moderately difficult situation and did what any sane person would do. Panicked and slammed on her brakes, then put her indicator and tried to drive out in front of a truck.

I completely understand your frustration as a biker, i've seen myself all too often what car drivers are capable of. This is exactly why I think this 'two camps' mentality is so dangerous - drivers need to remember that bikers are people, people that a moment of inattention can kill. Are we more or less likely to do that if you keep calling us 'cagers'?:)

I fully accept that that's how you guys meant it, but I think we all know that it's generally used as a pejorative term for all motorists - even me, who goes out of my way to make things easier for bikers.

Don't know about that, when a car makes way for me to overtake I don't call them a cager I give them a wave before zooming off.

anyway, back on topic.

As I was filtering through traffic this morning I had a guy open his drivers door and look down towards the ground. He's lucky I was paying attention, I would have taken his head off if I'd hit him.

I wouldnt usually post in these type of threads, but came very close to being in a head on collision today.

Daily commute heading into Trim, coming up on a very small and tight but two lane bridge that splits into a "Y" directly at the bridge, on my side. Just as Im making the turn (its a sharp left at the Y) someone flew up and over the bridge in a Gold coloured Freelander, 1/4 of their car on my side of the ride. Had I not been prepared and jammed on they would have driven up and over the front of my car given the shapes of the two vehicles. I would say they missed me by about 5cm. I was prepared for idiots (as to drive in the middle of the road, on both lanes is the done thing here), the other driver wasnt, made no course correction at all.

and no one behind her had the thought to flash and blare her out of it until she finally realised? That situation would drive me insane

I actually find roundabouts funny these days, I swear people are getting worse and worse. The best yet, and I always laugh out loud when I see it, is when a driver is travelling around a roundabout with no indicating at all (passing 2 or more exits), and then just before they take their exit, they indicate right.

Matt, you know anyone with a dark blue 840 (think it was a 40)? Passed one in the Dundalk area yesterday and looked the business.

shoelaceface

i know somebody who has an 'interesting' style of driving.

she parked in a space beside a pillar, when we were leaving she didnt want to reverse out because she thought she would hit the pillar despite me telling her just to go back out, that the angle she was at was fine, she wouldnt really have to move the wheel and there was about a foot between the car and the pillar. There wasnt even a car parked beside us. NO NO!! she insisted that she wasnt reversing so she did a TURNABOUT within the two spaces. I would like to say it was a 3 point turn but it took a lot more than that. MORTIFYING.. and then what happened.... she hit the pillar!!!!!!!!

Another day we were coming off a rounabout, and the road narrowed on the exit for about 3 meters. There was a cyclist at this point, so instead of slowing down for a few seconds to allow him to go ahead until the road widened again, the same driver increased her speed and went flying past him. At this point i'm screaming with my hands over my face and peeping, the wing mirror barely missed him. I asked why she didnt slow down, she said 'i was afraid and i just wanted to get past him'. I replied 'im sure he wants to go home too'.

Apart from her iv seen loads of dodgy stuff, people overtaking and then someone else pulling out on top of them. I was in a car park last week, and stopped to leave a car pull out because they were half out of the space, so sat for a few seconds and was thinking 'come onnnnnnn'!!!! so i edged forward and noticed thats the way they had parked the car! there wasnt anyone in it at all.

Another day two cars were racing each other down a motorway, one was a boy racer, the other a fancy jeep so im guessing they werent together. But they were getting really aggressive and when there was a vehicle in the left lane one would drive into the right and drive really slow so that the other car couldnt pass. It was crazy.

Another day, some middle aged man was driving in the left lane on a motorway just tipping along at about 80kmph, i over took him and he tore out behind me flashing and beeping, so im think WTF!! pulled into the left lane he went flying past, and pulled back into the left lane and went back to his original speed. I overtook again coz i wasnt out for the Sunday cruise, same thing happened again. So then i just left him go ahead and waited for another car to come along and see what he would do. A male came along and overtook him, he did the same thing!

Actually the scariest thing that happened me was I was coming home from a night out, sitting in the passenger seat head down trying to act sober in front of the folks! Then dad said 'what the hell is this' I looked up and saw headlights in front of us, we had to swerve into the ditch. It was a foreign reg car driving on the wrong side! But when they saw us they didnt move, so when we swerved they just continued on the wrong side of the road. Plus before they got to us, the road was straight for about 50 meters so they would have had time to notice we were there. But they didnt even swerve! It was so strange!

People... stay in your poxy lane on roundabouts !!!!!



every single day i see people treat two lane roundabouts as if its only one lane !!!

like so...



Im just waiting to see a crash because someone was lane hopping roundabouts.

About 7 years ago I was sitting in the car, waiting for my wife to come out of the shop.
An elderly gentleman drove into the small car park and spotted an empty space to the area in front of me. He decided to reverse into the space and positioned himself accordingly. With very careful accelerator control he reversed in and soon came to a stop as he ploughed into the side of the car next to him. He obviously thought he was hitting the kerb or something as he moved forward a bit and repeated the manoeuvre again, but with a bit more speed, resulting in coming to another abrupt halt. Not to be beaten easily he a made a further three attempts and parking, each time adding more dents to the car he was backing into. He finally gave up and parked front first in a space in front of him. :rolleyes:

I, naturally, left a note on the assaulted cars window with my name, address and phone number.

Some weeks later I got a Thank you card from the car owner which said "Thank you for informing my about the accident. I have not taken the matter any further as it was an old man and I was thinking of getting a newer car anyway."

The two who drive me mad are:

49ers
They drive 49mph at all times. They don't speed up on main roads and don't slow down for towns. It drives me mad if they're in front me and I'm hoping to overtake them but then come into a town. I slow to the speed limit while they fly off. By the time I catch up again there's nowhere to overtake. It's worse if they're behind you. I'm happy driving along and they're pottering along somewhere behind me. I slow for a town and they fly up behind me, sitting on my bumper and trying to look for a spot to get past me. We leave the town and I go back to the speed limit while they continue pottering along at 49mph until we reach the next town. It's worse if they manage to overtake (dangerously) in the town because as soon as I leave the town I'm probably going to overtake them again.

Straight road hero.
You know the ones who crawl along whenever there's a solid white line but the minute they see a broken one it's foot down and off they go. It's great fun if you're trying to overtake.

I drove behind one of them the other night, matching the speed they tore through the village at (where I go nice and slow). They really didnt like someone else driving like them, behind them.

Was on my way to work one day this week. Driving through the suburbs of a busy town in a 60km zone. Guards always seem to be in the area so its one place you really need to watch your speed. Driving along, i see in front of me about 100m up the road a post man getting into his van which is parked at an entrance to a house. So i potter along, next thing i know the An Post van in about to drive into the side of me, i swerve, he pulls back the other way, cars behind me beeping at him. I miss him by about a foot. Didn't check one mirror or signal. Got a "sorry" wave from him, man in his early 60's with the glasses so far down his nose his chin was touching his chest to look over them. Are they not meant to be looked through?:rolleyes:

I do find however, the drivers that worry me most on the roads are the lorry drivers that tare through built up areas while on their mobiles. Elderly people who drive over the line and young fellas who can barely see over the wheel. I stay well back when i spot those.

Ah yes roundabouts,

Was coming up to roundabout to take the 3rd exit, indicated, on the right lane etc and i noticed a car approaching from the 2nd exit towards to roundabout fast enough, i knew she wasn't gonna stop to see if there was anything on the roundabout or maybe she didn't see my indicator

Anyway when she did notice it was a tad late and she skidded right in front of me in the middle of the roundabout blocking the 3rd exit, and her car cut out prolly from not clutching, if i hadnt had noticed her i would have prolly been mangled into the side of her car

I looked at her and shook my head and drove around here :rolleyes:

What happens when the roundabout is treated like one on the continent, as in, driving the WRONG WAY AROUND? Seen that one night in Athlone. Couldn't believe my eyes. A Passat driving towards me on a roundabout. Up untill then, thought I had seen everything, but I was wrong. There's always something new.

How about a combination of these two drivers? I saw a woman reversing around the parkway roundabout in limerick, because she missed her exit.

You really have to wonder as to how well regulated the testers are, if people like this pass their test.

Today, something amazed me. A woman in a silver Corolla attempted to undertake me on a narrow street down near the canals, in Dublin near the South Circular Road. Ridiculous stuff altogether.

Most recently...

Yesterday evening on the M50 heading northbound, there was a line of us on the outside lane (overtaking slower traffic in the middle) and behind me I see a mondeo-type car, and a van behind him trying to overtake him by using all 5 foot of the central median that lasts about 10 metres, indicators and beams flashing like a disco.

I've never been so worried for another driver in all my life. Yer man behind me gradually slowed down (still going faster than the traffic in the middle) and eventually pulled over when he had completed his overtaking maneuver.

Utter twat in a van, and he didn't get much further up the road by the time I got off the M50.

Great stories everyone keep em' comin'!



Was walking through Dundrum recently just coming up to the luas bridge on a soaking wet day. I saw a very very old looking granny in traffic and I pointed her out to my friend remarking about how apparently old she was. Next thing the traffic starts moving and she hesitates to take off. Realising that the traffic is about 20 metres or so ahead of her , she redlines the car and lets off the clutch as quickly as possible, prompting the most badass wheelspin I've ever seen. This was followed by a sharp ( and I mean sharp) application of the brakes. The beauty of it was that she didn't even realise that she done a wheelspin. :pac:

Where do we draw the line for who should be legally allowed drive ?! This clearly isn't a safe driver to have on the roads.

Another one - I was standing at the AIB bank in Ballsbridge just opposite the RDS when I saw this blue yaris slamming on because the

woman driver didn't realise til' the last minute that the lights had changed. Next thing all I see is another similar sized car (I can't recall the type) shunting her from the rear quite forcefully, AND ANOTHER car shunting that one. God help the poor girl in the yaris she was so embarrassed that she drove off with her bumper scraping along the ground and bits of black car plastic strewn all over the road.

I was cycling to college earlier this year and I saw a woman driving a 7 seater (I think it was a corolla verso or something along those lines). Anyway there's a hill in deansgrange up towards Bakers Corner and as I was cycling up , she slowly began to close me and my bike in towards the path. She only reacted when I slapped the rear quarter panel of the car with my palm. She had the windows down and she was all apologies but I just gave her a virtual facepalm and kept cycling. :rolleyes:

I was driving home about 2 months ago and I was approaching Leeson Street bridge from Mespil Road. I was turning right and it's one of those turns that literally 2 or 3 cars get through each time, with about a 2 minute wait between light changes. Anyway there was a female learner driver accompanied by who I suspect was her mother at the front of the traffic. She obviously wasn't familiar with the area because when the light turned green, she didn't move up an inch to take possession of the junction, she just remained static. Now I always try to give learner drivers as little hassle or pressure as possible, so I remained calm and assumed that she would move up when her time came to turn. When the light changed to red again, she didn't move up to turn at all, which left everyone behind her in the exact same position for another cycle of lights. The second time the lights changed, a driver behind me beeped her to move up and she did. I moved up with her and she made the turn this time, but VERY late. This left me stranded in the middle of a 4 way junction with traffic approaching me from my left and right and I genuinely couldn't have done anything any differently. This left me having to reverse in moving traffic and turn left to the opposite direction in which I wanted to go. I then had to make a prolonged detour and queue up for the same set of lights again . . pfft

I'm sure more stories will come to me I've loads packed away somewhere in my mind!

Just to add another roundabout story

Coming round a roundabout the other wk (in the correct lane for my exit!) i caught out of the corner of my eye a car tearing along side me to take the same exit, but who had obviously taken the wrong lane. I had to break suddenly to avoid him and gave a quick blast of my horn (more as a knee-jerk reaction than out of anger).

However, just off the exit the man who was driving the car decides to stop in the middle of the road, get out, come back and get verbally abusive with me!! Now, the abuse aside, his reaction caused the whole roundabout to get blocked up while he stood there shouting at me...as you can imagine i nicely (:rolleyes:) told him to get back into his car as he was now blocking the whole place...it isnt only women who don't understand the rules of roundabouts guys

Love reading these "everyone in Ireland is sh*t at driving, except for people who post on Boards" threads.
Having said that though some of the people driving out there really do take the proverbial biscuit

macroman

Too many to mention, but I regularly encounter:

• HGV's & Buses who muscle their way on the motorway and in traffic
• OAPs who drive at 15km/h on a 60km/h stretch who can't keep the car in a straight line and keep jabbing the brakes
• Cyclists who break red lights, come up the left when I'm turning left, cycle outside the cycle lane and are unnecessarily aggressive towards drivers.
• Sneaky f**ers who come up the bus lane in a line of traffic and try to get in on the sly
• Yuppies in their massive cars cutting me up
• People who are afraid to venture out on a roundabout (exception is L-drivers)
• People who drive towards you to get around those pillow speed bumps
• Taxi drivers!
• Trucks overtaking on the motorway - no need it's just dangerous!
• Plebs who abandon their cars when parking - the exception is couriers
• Muppets who stay in the first lane when taking the 3rd exit off the roundabout
• People who don't know how to use a crossroads - ends up in a standoff!
• People who just open their doors without checking if anyone or anything is coming
