These kunt drivers swerving into your path when overtaking a cyclist...

Biggest lickspittle on boardz

I nearly got wiped out by some Hans Moleman prick in a fiesta this evening as I was making my way home.

A car coming against me decided that they would overtake a cyclist by swerving across the white line directly into my path, instead of waiting until it was safe to carry out the overtaking manoeuvre.

Has this happened to anyone else recently, or is it just me? It seems to be reaching epidemic levels where I live.

Another thing I'm seeing a lot is drivers blindly following the car in front that has decided to overtake a cyclist. Wait until it is safe, ya pr1cks. That means having a clear line of sight of the road ahead.

ATTENTION ALL DRIVERS: IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO WAIT UNTIL IT IS SAFE BEFORE YOU OVERTAKE A CYCLIST. YES, THAT MIGHT MEAN WAITING AN EXTRA TEN SECONDS.

I have spoken. You may dismiss yourselves.

I noticed that there was an increase in crazy drivers out there today.

Bad lane positioning, blocking junctions and yellow boxes , undertaking into bus lanes ( without signaling or looking into mirrors) , acceleration up to left turns to overtake cylists so they could cut them off.

I guessed George Hook was in the radio encouraging wreck less driving again

Had some cvnt cut across two lanes on the Dunkettle roundabout right in front of me.

No indicators, just swung right while I was following the road markings down into the tunnel.

usually when I see cars overtake crazily I think it must be a dire emergency with a good reason, like the shops closing or they're late home for fair city

A car nearly drove out in front of me on a narrow road the instant I was passing a car coming the other way, I went to swerve but had to override the instinct and accept that I might hit the front corner of the car emerging from the side road.

Turns out the car pulling out in front of me was being chased by a helicopter gunship which opened fire with its machine gun badly injuring the occupants, but not before one of them fired an RPG which struck the fuel tank igniting a flying fireball that crashed into a large refueling depot causing a cataclysmic explosion.

I decided to spice up my boring story there with the second paragraph.

I was driving along a country road recently. There was a pedestrian on the road and no footpath ahead of me. Two cars were coming towards the pedestrian. The first closely overtook the pedestrian. The other car was up the firsts arse and could not see oncoming traffic which was me on the other side of the road. He decided to give the pedestrian much more room by going across the white line and straight into my path. I had to swerve to miss him. I got some fright. I wasn't wearing a belt either and 99 out of 100 I would wear it.

Nice language in the thread title and opening post, I bet there is two sides to this story.

Academic

What's importantly different about the situation described in the OP's post, compared with some of the other complaints registered in some of the other posts in this thread, is that the highly dangerous situation described in the OP's post was solely the result of another driver's unwillingness to wait *just a few seconds* until it was possible to pass safely and responsibly.

Indicators seem to be an unnecessary adition to a lot of cars on the road today. There's two roundabouts in Castlebar in particular; the one near McHale Park, field of dreams (!) and the one near where Cathal Duffy's used to be. If you stand around there, you'll be amazed (or maybe not, actually) at the number of drivers who simply don't use indicators. I'd estimate it must be 70-30 in favour of the fcukwits who don't indicate. How did these people pass their test? Most of them seem incapable of driving a nail into a bar of soap.
