London drivers..........

[DaveEllen]

I was going to work y/day trundling round the south circular minding my own business.

Going through Forest Hill I was behind a Audi A4 estate on our right was a Belgian artic , came to a bit where the lane we were in can go straight on or merge with the right hand lane (where the artic was) this is not a problem....Mr Audi outs his foot downtries to beat the lorry turning right and clips the artic front bumper with his drivers side rear. B*ll** I thought will be here for ages now.

NO Mr Audi doesnt even stop !!!!!!!!! goes like hell up the road ! Caught up with him at the next lights and the rear 3/4 of the car (estate) was all dented thought to tell him to stop and exchange details with the driver of the artic. this thought lasted a nano second when he looked across to me........gorilla or what !!!

Just another example of driving in our capital !

Bloody animals in London.... I was in Whitechapel yesterday evening and some guy kept trying to cut in to the lane, I wouldn't let him so he kept reving his car, went round a corner to try overtake... unsuccessful in this he reverted to horning me for the next 2 minutes.

I'd had my fun so I let him past, don't think he learnt his lesson though :D

heard too many things about idiot london drivers, so if i need to go inot london i'll take the train

[DaveEllen]

I agreeee ! coming home y/day a middle aged t*ss*r in a knackerd rover 214 thing was cutting in and out of the traffic how he missed any one I do not know...... Bet he was'nt insured........

the other thing is the prats who use bus lanes when they should'nt and when they merge nearly hit u........

aaaaaaaaahhhhhh London........

pot holes and bad roads are a big problem, i've often been going quick enough to hit the front spoiler on a bump in the road

I don't let Road Rage bother me really. It gets on my nerves a bit when people cut in front of you or don't say thanks, but if you join in you may end up smashing your own car. Just let the big kids play by themselves, we are bigger than that! Don't need no bangers and lexus-mash!

I agree - IMO London is one of the few places where you can chop people up and most times they just expect it - it's just the way you've got to drive there.

I have most of my best arguments in Essex!!

You get A$$holes in any big cities - Things are just the same up here in Glasgow. Which is why I take the (s)train to work.

Life too short, I try to ignore it. My driving is not perfect, so I'm sure I cut others up occasionally! Probably!

Try being nice and letting out BMW drivers of junctions - the look of confusion on people's faces is really funny...someone being nice to them for a change!! LOL

Other peoples driving does not worry me and I like to drive in London. It's one of the few places where drivers seem to be decisive and most of them do seem to know the size of their cars. It's usually those who are timid that cause the hasstle - I suppose cause there a re just so many cars there you see more bad driving. I always found inLondon a degree more respect than in other areas. Years ago I used to drive an RR Shadow 11 around the city and it was as if there was a 3 foot barrier around it - everyone just gave it a little extra room.
