is it me or are more bad drivers getting on the roads these days?
does every one forget how to drive once they have their licence?
Time to take back the roads me thinks!

With you 100% mate, stupid thick as shit drivers do my fooking head in. especially the ones who cut you up & then give you the look as if you've done something wrong when you have'nt (apart from the tosser sign out the window)lol.

i find the sunday drivers around Heswall & West Kirby are the worst with there driving gloves & hats on.

dont start me on west kirby! can they even see over the steering wheel?
Avoid Morrisons its like a Mecca for them!

love your avatar. i stay clear of the west totally, otherwise i'll end up killing someone. lol.

think i may impose a toll keep the misers off the road!

The ones that get me are the ones who think they are lords of the road... oh, I see.

Anyway, as I was saying.

Self imposed police of the road, if I want to go faster than the speed limit then I will, so don't even think of purposely keeping to the right hand side etc.

Those who feel the need let people know how they feel are more often than not more dangerous than the rest.

if you spent as much time on the road as me you would see all the idiots who just shouldnt be on the road, now unless your a lorry driver or a taxi driver i doubt you do.

I spend a lot of time on the road.

I see plenty of idiots who shouldn't be on the roads and see the problem compounded by idiots who feel they are so much better at driving that they should let them know their feelings.

Yeah, because THAT helps.

ok mate calm down lol.

can you see over your steering wheel mr nobody?

Yes, thanks, Lord of the M53...

Lorry drivers and taxi drivers are often among the worst drivers on the road. Along with:

#Young men with small willies and souped-up shitty Fiestas
#Police
#Women in Chelsea Tractors taking their little angels to school
#Middle-aged men who think because they drive expensive cars are better than the rest of us. These are the type of twonks who think Jeremy Clarkson is god. Probably have small willies too
#Any fooker who thinks the speed limit only applies to everyone else except them

Fookers the lot of them!

Don't forget the people without nice cars who insist that those with nice cars have small willies...

But hey, if it makes you feel better!

What makes you think middle aged men with expensive cars think they are better than everyone else? Can you see into their thoughts and what they think? Do they tell you?

Or is it just a coping mechanism because you don't have a nice car?

I'm not getting at you just trying to understand the mentality that people with nice cars *think* they're better. I'm sure they don't... they just have better cars.

when you get a nice car Al let us know

When I do, I won't see myself as any better than you in your rusty old tank

OK, I will.

I've got a very nice, highly-desired car, thank you very much. A 10 year old Vauxhall Corsa. Bet you're jealous!

To be honest, my previous post was somewhat tongue in cheek. I do think though that when a lot people get behind the wheel of a car they change, become a lot more arrogant and aggressive. I include myself in this.

It's easy to be Chuck Norris when you're surrounded by metal.

It's when you read some of the road rage stories that you realise that it's probably better not reacting to others mistakes and/or poor driving.

But yes, I'm jealous of the Corsa.

was just checking Nobody thats all im just struggling to see how they can see do they have periscopes?

I don't know. Gaps in the steering wheel?

think its an option on new ford focus.............

I think it's the fact that west kirby has a lot of old people & old people are crap drivers, they drive round at 10 mph & stop dead when you could get a bus through, grrrrr get out my fooking way.

If you really want to see the extremes of driving ability, try a few laps of the Nürburgring; it's there in all its glory and horror.

have you tried the morrisons car park in west kirby chriskay?

Hate that shop, they are all ignorant retards in there.

full of holyier than thou people!
got to love west kirby!

Again, the holier-than-thou comment confuses me. They're people in cars and walking around supermarkets saying nothing.

How does one come to the conclusion that they have a superiority complex?! Is it due to the place they live and shop being perceived as better than where you live and shop?

Jealousy comes in many forms, people.

ho ho mr nobody!
what brave words you speak!
when you work in these peoples houses (which i do!) they have nothing to be jealous of. The fact that they have a different postcode means nothing to me.
its not jealousy its merely an observation about the rude people who shop in morrisons in west kirby!

Nothing brave about my words at all.

The fact they have a different postcode means nothing to me either but I'm just curious as to how anyone could establish that they *think* they are better than you just by sharing a road with them or walking around the same supermarket?

What, specifically, do you observe these people doing in Morrisons in West Kirby which makes you step back and think 'woah, this person thinks they are better than me'.

As I said, jealousy comes in many forms.

You came on here, weirdly, with the username that you did, just to have a rant about bad drivers and we've ended up discussing something totally different.

For the record, I agree that there are bad drivers on the road, and I agree that a lot of them are old and therefore there are probably more of them in West Kirby.

The rest, however, is shite.

go round morrisons a few times and act like a decent person (not saying your not!) and after the 7th or 8th time of moving out of someones way or helping them that you get nothing but a stern look let alone a thank you then come back here and tell me its shite!
oh and as for the name its just a name nothing meant by it.
maybe your just jealous that im a Lord and your not?

Oh, it's common knowledge that I own the roads around here.

Also, true story, I'm the Scottish equivalent of a Lord, which is a Laird, so there

now we getting feudal!

Drivers in New ferry are getting worse. As a biker Im very causious about cars coming to junctions and not seeing me but lately people are pulling out of parking spaces without using their wing mirrors. Just this morning it happened to me and another biker, luckly we both have great reactions and managed to skid and swerve out of the way, we were both very shook up and had to pull over to empty our underpants. Please please please remember to check and check again before pulling out

Kris

Do you get pissed with people throwing ciggy butts out the window?

yes thats very annoying too, ive been hit a good few times. Id love to pick them up and throw them back through their window.

As a driver of a convertible this fucks me right off.

In fact even when I'm not in the convertible is gets on my tits, those things have the potential to cause some serious damage if they get into the wrong place.

Bikers, is spitting at you from bus stops an issue? I've been spat at twice this summer. Weird, as those cuts are at bus stops, which says enough.

Did some one spit at you Nobody? was you in west kirby?
(and whats wrong with being at a bus stop? you on your high horse again?)

No, Birkenhead.



I find it amusing that people shouting abuse and spitting are those stood waiting for a bus.

Reminds me of a time I was out with someone in a green Murci when someone shouted that it looked like snot. To which my friend replied "Oh, I beg your pardon, what colour is yours?"

water pistol full of dog pee.........
problem sorted

Forgive me,but how does one get the said 'doggy wee' into the pistol?

That makes me as bad as them. I'll generally just laugh at them.

I remember the days (20 years ago) when Heswall was full of old people cruising round in Escort RS Turbos etc - nothing has changed

Funnel?

Nobody was you driving around in a convertable robin reliant?

pmsl, your not the heswall/birkenhead trannie are you?

No, I own a Micra convertible.

id stick with the robin reliant mate at least it has some sort of cult status.
you sure you can see over the steering wheel of your standard issues oap machine?
and do the box of tissues on the back shelf ever hit you in the back of the head?

Reliant Robin...

sounds nice, i will put a pic on of my car later its a pink beetle, i call it the pussy wagon, will take you for a spin if you like.

I'm generally accelerating rather than braking to be honest so they tend to hit the window more.

Anyway, the Micra does have cult status, especially in white.

It's the 1.4 with 16 valves so it does shift.

You need to get a Turbo fitted on it mate Polish, turd, glitter etc.

*some won't get that joke*

I've thought about it but I think I want to get a few more years of driving performance cars under my belt before I up the power.

I learned in a 1.0 Saxo so jumping right to the 1.4 was enough for me.

PMSL each to there own mate sounds like you might have left a few people standing at the lights then!

is it convertable wellhung?

It launches quite well though if you drop the clutch at about 3000 revs, I reckon I've hit 60 in less than 10 seconds before, easily.

you must have had to change your underpants after that good job there are a box of tissues on the back shelf for you

What about with the roof up? Less drag dog

no but my dog fanny loves hanging her head out the window.

what breed is she? a sausage dog?

Haha, yeah. I have to be careful though. I've been told that losing launch control can seriously shorten the length of your clutch. I don't even know how long the clutch is, but it still reaches to the wheels so I'm OK.

its long, trust me.

I thought I was being clever doing a forum search on this word to find out who you are but it turns out there's a fair few utter spacktards who can't spell the word convertible on here.

no i was right its convertable its kind of like a transformers thing bet my kitchen table is faster than your seagull on wheels

I've had a remap so it's quicker than a normal Micra and I always fold the front seat down to save weight.

Would that mean you have just squashed your crisps

hhmmmmmmmmppppp not sure if my bog standard table would keep up.
its only a 3 ltr z4 ..................

Sometimes!

Ever had chewing gum hit you in the eye?

No

crisps packet in your face?

If you cruise round unprotected, you're bound to catch something

When I'm out and about in my Satsuma Castanet XR4, people always cut me up. They're just jealous.
I just say 'Where's your Satsuma Castanet XR4?' and then they explode with jealousy.

Probably not then.

Oi!! Don't be knocking your ten year old Corsa... I LOVE mine!!

Is this thread going anywhere?

...thought not...
