I love that expression, so much.

Mine would be lack of indicator use or middle-lane hoggers.

Its more about being traceable in the event of an accident. But no you wouldnt want that, would you? Because once you are traceable, you can be held accountable when the fault is actually yours.

Points for motorists that accelerate through amber lights.
This is prevalent in Dublin where 90% of the time they actually miss the amber light and as a result speed through red lights.

Duckjob · 12-07-2019 9:46am

My personal favourite would be points for people who invade space on the road that they have no legal place to be:

Eg. A local road to me which is fairly rural- narrow, no footpaths, with some blind bends. I often encounter drivers coming around those bends with their wheels over the middle line on the other side of the road. And then I see local what's app alerts every other week saying there's been an accident on that road- no wonder with the sh*t driving!

Other examples
- cutting the arse off corners with turning
- edging over and way past the line of a red light ( just f***ing relax and wait for the f***ing light to turn green)
- lack of regard for bike areas at traffic lights
- parking in bike lanes
- obstructing bike lanes unnecessarily when stopped in traffic
- driving up on footpaths to get past other traffic (just wait you d*ck)

Driving with dogs without dog harnass and dog seatbelt. 7 points. One for each dog year.

Dogs in car boots on hot days....banned and jail.

I’m not a cyclist but it drives me nuts too when I see cars encroaching on cycle lanes undertaking especially, stop zones or whatever they are called at traffic lights. We are all trying to get somewhere, safely. Cyclists are obviously more vulnerable, cop the fûck on and have patience and ‘think’.

sydthebeat · 12-07-2019 10:52am

10 points for those complete thicks who enter a two laned roundabout in the outside lane, indicate right before entering.....and maintain the right indicator all the way round

Henry Ford III · 12-07-2019 10:55am

Points for people who pass themselves off as experts despite never having driven the cars they are offering opinions on.

Doodah7 · 12-07-2019 11:06am

Driving with one arm out the window to enjoy the breeze on your hand rather than having both hands on the steering wheel: 2 points

I was cycling through a small village that has a long traffic island in the middle of the road. Van squeezes past me and I'm thinking 'he's going hit the traffic island' - I was wrong, he was on the fuc*king thing!!

1. 3 points for driving in the right lane when left lane is empty.

2. 6 points for refusing to move over from the right lane when the left lane is empty and a faster moving car is behind you.

3. 3 points for entering yellow box when you know fine well that you are not going to clear it before the light changes.

4. 6 points if you get stuck in the yellow box and then sit staring straight ahead like an angel and fail to acknowledge the driver on your right/left that has a green light and can’t move because you are blocking their path.

5. 3 points if you drive an X5/X6/Range Rover size vehicle and cannot park it properly.

6. 3 month driving ban if you park in a disabled spot.

7. 3 points if you have your rear foglight on when there is no fog.

8. 6 points for driving without your lights on at night/low light because you think your DRL’s will suffice.

9. 6 points for driving at night/low light with only the parking lights on. Lifetime ban for a second offence.

K.Flyer · 12-07-2019 11:24am

4 points: For trying to reverse out onto a busy road.
5 points: For brake checking.
At the same time..
5 points: For driving aggressively too close to the car in front.

Idiots driving around with those ****ing stupid DRLs on the newer Clio and Hyubdai models after dark, blinding oncoming traffic and invisible to traffic behind them.

People using auxiliary lanes and roundabouts as overtaking lanes.

Thank you for bringing them up. Points should be deducted for avoiding those idiot pedestrians who step off the path and directly into traffic without looking left or right because they are incapable of walking from A to B without headphones and their eyes glued to their phone screens. They deserve a good whack of a fender to refocus their attention. ðŸ˜‹

Seeing as most of these newer cars will also have auto headlights, the owners of said vehicles have probably either accidentally, or on purpose, turned them off which makes the whole thing even more mind boggling.

In Spain, that is the legal way to navigate a roundabout!!

I had to Google it when I was in Tenerife. Couldn't figure out why there was nobody using the left lane of the roundabout.

Let's say they want to take the third exit (9 o'clock in Spain).

o They enter a roundabout in the right hand lane.

o They pass the 3 o'clock exit in the right lane.

o They pass the 12 o'clock exit still in the right hand lane.

o They make their exit at 9 o'clock from the right hand lane.

Interestingly, Portugal and France adopted our style.

What's the left lane for?

Drivers who do not use roundabouts correctly - 3 points

Loads of people asked that exact same question on the Spanish forum

The left lane of a Spanish roundabout is for:

o Making the 9 o'clock (third) exit, as long as you can safely merge back into the right lane just after the 12 o'clock (second) exit.

You can't exit from the left lane of a Spanish roundabout at the third exit... even if the exit road has two lanes. They consider that as 'cutting up'.

The official preference is to drive all around the roundabout in the right lane.

o Performing a full 360 degree turn of the roundabout. Going back where you came from. Once again, you need to filter back into the right lane between the third and fourth exits.

And if it was a twisty back road it's more likely to be 80 limit. So my points go to the drivers who think 80 roads are 100. To all the drivers I meet who veer over the middle white line, or who drive in the middle of the road (where there is no white line)

It's necessary hesitation - these drivers are only ever looking 5-10 feet in front of them..."oh look, we're at a roundabout".

Why can't we just bring in anyone caught on the phone gets it confiscated there and then?

Bring in driver ed in schools

Double points for CPC drivers not indicating.

People that don't park their cars properly.
I'd give 6 points to those ****ers.
I live in a small town and outside the local bank there's space for 3 cars. There's a gym beside it (more a personal studio for women) and every goddamn day there's 2 cards taking up the entire spot. The first person is grand, she parks her card in the first car space but the second bitch dumps her car in the middle, Now there are not markings but you have to be a serious cvnt to not look at where you're parking your car and thinking its ok to part it like that.
