    Stooping to insulting someone's username is so utterly childish.

    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.

    Pedestrians
    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. 😋

    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.
    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.

    Seven points for knocking one down

    What do you win if you get to 12?

    Utterly hilarious I'm sure, especially for the 15 families last year that were told their father/mother/son/daughter/husband/wife was never coming back home to their family. Go you.

    Beeping at me when I'm using the bus lane... Outside of bus lane times.
    Lots of bus lanes only operate for 2hrs in the morn, and 2hrs in the evening .

    This is clearly a lighthearted thread. You probably can’t see it from up there on your high horse though.

    Maybe the internet isn’t for you... were you “offended”?

    Some other lad earlier asked me if he had "hit a nerve". Why can't people just engage rather than dancing around the issue.

    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?

    Lots more examples are available if you need them.

    You can take back those points, and bring them to spec savers.

    Cork? Come off it, I'm talking about real bus lanes and real traffic, not some glorified Stagecoach halt.

    Thousands of people were killed by horses last year so you can't use that phrase anymore.

    Drivers braking at every oncoming vehicle they meet - 1 point.

    Drivers on the motorway who play the "overtaking game" - 2 points.

    Drivers who sit in yellow boxes - 2 Points

    Drivers who do not use roundabouts correctly - 3 points

    What's the left lane for?

    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.

    Who in their right mind drives at 100kph on a twisty back road!?

    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)

    Double points for taxi drivers.
    Points for displaying L plates if you are not an L driver.

    Unnecessary hesitation at both roundabouts and green lights- drives me nuts. Some dithering idiots aren’t happy unless they either come to a compete stop at either. Totally inefficient use of road space and time

    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.

    I frequently travel a route that has a bus lane that operates from 07:30 - 09:30 and 16:30 - 18:30.

    Youve already said that in this thread, and you weren't funny the first time either.
