Skoda Fabia, Orange driven by Male
Seen at 09:15am on 26-Apr-2011 on A50 Near Mere Cheshire
Mr Skoda driver, single white lines also apply to you! This idiot was driving along the A50 this morning, "straightening" bends by cutting across solid white lines. The lines are there for a reason! What would you have done if there'd been a car coming the other way round the blind bend you straightend???? Of course, it's OK for you. You're old (so clearly an excellent driver) and drive a Fabia. But I bet you'd be outraged if it was a young fellow in a Porsche doing the same.

Ford transit, Orange driven by Male
Seen at 07:45pm on 05-Sep-2010 on M62 M1 Junction South Yorkshire
It was twilight on the M62 when he came up very close behind me and flashed his lights. I was overtaking in the middle lane of the M62. The outside lane was clear so he could have gone past. It was extremely intimidating and dangerouus at 70+ mph. Then as I waited at the traffic lights at the junction with the M1 I saw him do the same to another car on the slip road to the M1. Again the other lane was empty so he could have easily moved out and overtaken.

Absolute disgrace of a driver. This lunatic was driving a sainsburys lorry, at approximately 6 minutes to 9 on Monday 6th sept. As I was approaching the traffic lights to slow down and stop, this nutcase deliberately swerved into my lane and cut me up, I had my children in the car, he petrified the life out of us and as I passed him , to get rid of him, I hooted at him and he made extremely rude hand gestures. It is an absolute disgrace that this lunatic represents sainsburys and it is s disgrace he is even allowed to drive, be should lose his job and go to prison fir what he did. He will be responsible for future accidents

The driver turned right from a traffic light controlled T Junction, and was on a hand held phone the whole time. This is his profession. He should not be risking it. There were people crossing the road at the time.

Whilst driving WEST on the M5 I decided to stop at the services. Whilst parking was confronted by this hoodlum taking up two bays! I tried to reason with him but he just stared at me....It was all rather odd. My wife eventually insisted I park elsewhere. I later saw this dangerous individual literally 'flying' out the car park. Unbelievable.

Female not paying enough attention to the road and conditions in a homogenous cheap French rattle-mobile. Seemed to be taking instructions on driving from a rather drunk looking, pompous male passenger. Also had a random Christmas tree shoved in the back, obscuring their rear vision. Created a line of Fords and Vauxhalls that were queuing to overtake.

Van Sainsbury's van, Orange driven by Male
Seen at 12:15 pm on 27-Jan-select on Albion Road Hackney, London Greater London
ALBION ROAD, NR NEWINGTON GREEN, HACKNEY 12.15, Friday 27 Jan 2012 A(nother) van driver dangerously, agressively overtaking a cyclist (me) and not leaving enough room while doing so - even though there was plenty on the road. This one was driven by a Sainsbury's delivery man. It is incredibly dangerous when vans or any large vehicle cuts up cyclists, who are far more vulnerable than other road users. Please please please exercise some patience.

i was in the right hand lane of a dual carriage way, the driver seemed to come out of nowhere and began tail-gating me. I was in the lane i needed to be in, but he was not happy that i did not move out of his way,he swung his car to the left, accelerated and pulled in front of me almost hitting the motorcyclist who was already in front of me. We then stopped at traffic lights and he verbally abused me using foul language. He told me that my heap of shit should not be on the road, that i should have made way for him that i was in the wrong lane and that i was fat and ugly amongst other things. Other drivers who saw what was happening were shouting at him. I had 3 children in my car. His driving was unnecessary and dangerous, he got nowhere except in front of me. I did shout back to tell him his driving was dangerous.

This retarded 30-something fat man tried to drive me into the central reservation of the dual carriageway because I didn't let him in front of me, not because I didn't want to, but because I WAS IN A QUEUE OF TRAFFIC and had nowhere to go!! He literally drove into my lane so I almost hit the central reservation. What a loser. I don't even know what the rush was to get home, I doubt he had anyone waiting for him...such a ugly tosser.

I was at a junction on the correct lane to go forward and the offending driving was in the left filter lane. When the lights changed in our favour, he drove straight ahead casuing me to swerve. I sounded my horn to alert him that I was there and he started driving erratically that caused me to slow to a stop to prevent an accident. When I reached the next set of lights he had his window down and both him and his passenger shouted abuse and threatened violence.

New Milton Sand and Ballast truck drivers are a danger to all. 1 idiot driver overtook a cyclist by going round a ballard on the wrong side of the road. I am sure the driver coming towards him was wondering if he would arrive at work alive. They are still seen driving like idiots and will cause an accident.

Driving along the old Chepstow road (the A48 - which is in Gwent but this website doesnt have the option of any counties in Wales) earlier on today, this is a two-lane road but occasionally has a 3rd lane for overtaking. I was behind two lorries and a green car, with an orange car behind me (apologies - i'm no good with makes!). On the section of road I was on the speed limit was 50mph, the lorries were fluctuating between 45 - 50mph and we all had a safe distance between each other, though I had noticed that the orange car behind kept gaining on me then backing off. We came to an overtaking lane, where the green car infront of me decided to overtake the lorries, with the orange car from behind me following closely behind it. The green car was able to overtake both the lorries and, as I was getting fed up of the orange car continually driving up my backside I left a gap of roughly 3 cars between me and the lorry infront so he could get into that gap if he wanted to. He drove up alongside the lorry infront of me, so that the passenger door of the orange car and the driver door of the lorry were parallel. As he did this, I drove closer to the lorry leaving a 2 car gap between us, thinking that the orange car was going to overtake the lorry. At this point the overtaking lane was coming to an end, which was unbeknown to me as the orange car was driving in that lane so I couldnt see the arrows, and unfortunately I wasnt born with the ability to mindread. The orange car started to hang back from the lorry, which gave me an idea that he wanted to pull infront of me, so I slightly slowed down, increasing the gap between me and the lorry, though at this point there were NO cars behind me and the orange car could have easily slowed down enough as to regain his place behind me. I heard a car horn but to be honest I wasnt sure whether it was the lorry or the orange car as it was so quiet. The orange car was wavering in the overtaking lane between me and the lorry so I flashed him to show him I was letting him in, to which he swiftly pulled in and did an emergency stop, which obviously caused us both to come to a complete stop - he then turned around in his seat, stared at me and started mouthing off, though I couldnt make out was he was saying, then started to point towards his head indicating he thought I was stupid. At this point I was quite prepared to get out and give him a piece of my mind, but he drove off, doing exactly the same speed he would have been doing if he was behind me. The lorries turned off at the next left, leaving no cars infront of the orange car though he still continued doing 50mph, then at the next 'national speed limit' sign he sped right up before turning off at the 'old village'. I was extremely tempted to follow him and ask him what the hell was wrong with him but I decided against it, though I am thinking of going up to the 'old village' tomorrow and seeing if he's around. The driver of the orange car was around 35-40 yrs old, and obviously has no self esteem as he has to bully younger females to make himself feel better. I was extremely angry and bewildered at the time though now, after telling people about what happened, I'm laughing at how pathetic the little 'man' that drives CE06 HLY is.

Young male driver sped up behind me far to fast must have been doing double the speed limit, he then decided to try and overtake( in a 30 zone!!) narrowly missing a parked car and a car driving in the opposite dirrection and to add insult to injury as he passed I noticed that he was on his phone!!! I had just picked my two girls up from school and I was worried for their lives. Stay out of the way, idiot boy racer!!!

This idiotic driver tailgated me for about half a mile, I was doing the speed limit's in every zone (he was shaking his car from side to side behind me). Eventually in a built up area with the max speed limit of being (30 mph) he overtook me onto oncoming traffic. I was then able to catch up with him eventually (doing the speed limit) and he did it to another 3 car's in a line who all were doing the speed limit. A jeep on the other side was forced onto the curb due to his excess speeds of around which were atleast (55-60 mph) He failed to signal at any junctions and pulled out when a car was approaching from the right. The car from the right had to slam his brakes on to avoid collision. He eventually pulled up to a side steet and got out the car, I told him I would be reporting him to the police and he said and I quote: "Well fucking go for it, I always get let off with a warning anyway, so piss off" and he walked away. I was about to get charged for assault that day if I had got out the car.

As I was driving home from a pleasant evening spent with my family and my 5 year old niece, a vehicle approached from behind at excessive speed in a built up urban area around pub closing time, then tailgated me for about a quarter of a mile until I reached a roundabout where I indicated with a right turn signal to turn right at the roundabout. The moron in the Audi then veered to the left, undertook me on the outside of the roundabout, then veered to the right forcing me off the road and towards the inside of the roundabout, forcing me to slam on my brakes for an emergency stop before they had the chance to crash into my car. It was only my quick thinking and action that avoided what could have been at the very least a very expensive accident and very possibly quite a serious one. It's on days like these I wish I had evidence recording cameras on my car.
