They infuriate me, only seem to stick to speed limits when they have a fare in the back, other times they fly about the place pulling U-turns and radge manoeuvres to get to fares.Hibs.nets negative posting legend and unofficial ticket agent.

As HC said, happy to obey the speed limits and drive sensibly when they’ve got a customer in the car. When they don’t, it’s like they are trying to become the next Lewis Hamilton and drive as fast as they want. Also lack of signals as well, does my nut in as well as those crazy U-Turns they perform!

People who don't understand how right of way works. If there's an obstruction on your side of the road eg a bus at a stop or a double parked car you don't have priority to fly into the other lane forcing traffic coming the other way to take evasive action. Also if a sign says 'give way to oncoming vehicles' then it's there for a reason, it's a clear instruction so probably best to follow it.

Women drivers who park at a crazy angle and then when you ask them to straighten the car up behave as if you have committed some sort of crime and make you sleep in the spare room for a couple of nights.

Now imagine your 3 quarters of the way along this road then a person starts to drive from the other end resulting in you both staring at each other with nowhere to go (Unless there is a sensible compromise and one pulls slightly in one way to allow the other to pass, even if its a wheel width on the kerb) but the driver refuses. The driver who caused this blockage who could clearly see that I was 3 quarters of the way down the road and would cause an obstruction then yells at you that she has the right of way as the obstruction is on my side, as per the highway code.
You try to calmly explain that yes, the highway code does say that, but also the fact there is sufficient room to pass if we both compromise, and the fact that THEY cause the obstruction by not just waiting on me at the end of the road means the highway code in this instance is not what it says.
This scenario happend and resulted in a stand off whereby she expected me to reverse all the way back along the road, despite pointing out there was now 3 cars behind me and she could easily get past or reverse a very short distance to allow all 3 of us to pass. Now she has been arguing with me about who should move and refusing to pass despite have plenty room, ive drivin the road a hundered times and had to do the bump onot the kerb, there is drive ways long the side he needed to bump and as such the kerb is lowered, so not even like she needs take a run at it. The police have been called I am told at this point and I am in such a rage at the refusal to listen to reason that cars have now backed up behind her as well.
I was so angry and the stupity of all this I was like fine and sat there with my hazards on telling her I cant move (There is still room for her and other to pass if we both comprise).
What saved the day as it was a Wednesday night and we had a home game and the guy behind me was asking the problem, could see what was happening and managed to say listen im trying to get to the Hibs game, (As was I) and he talked me and 6 other cars behind to all reverse to accommodate this absolute weapon. If Hibs had'nt been playing I swear I would have sat there all night till the Police showed up or she attempted to pass!!

The above post is similar to what happened this morning due to the school run. I was driving down towards the school to head to a hospital appointment. All cars are parked on the opposite side of the road, I am heading down when a mummy in a Chelsea tractor, having dropped off the darlings pulled out of the parked cars and proceeds up the road thus blocking my way. I stopped before another space so she could pull in, would she ****. She started arm waving and shouting. As I had to get to hospital I reversed half a mile but stopped at a point where she had to really do a tight manoeuvre back onto the right side of the road, if looks could kill! The window comes down for a tirade of abuse.
There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

I quite often drop my mother in law off somewhere when I get the wee one and if im honest in hindsight I am glad she wasnt with me that day as her being a similar age to the woman I was arguing with, the mother in law is type that would have done something that would have resulted in the police really needing to be called!

I'm referring to the inconsiderate twats who swing out wildly from behind buses or parked cars with no consideration to what is coming the other way. There's a difference between being blatantly inconsiderate and dangerous and simply expecting other road user to show a bit decency. One of the worst places for it is Old Church Lane at Duddingston. there are always cars parked down one aside and if I see a car half way down the wrong lane I'll stop and wait, the problem then is that every wideo then takes advantage and sneaks out from behind the parked cars and into line behind the car I have let go. So rather than waiting on one car you sit whilst 6 or 7 cars pile past.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

For example: 20p for every 200m travelled OR 45 seconds waiting.
Doesn't matter how fast you drive or how long you wait - the meter ticks along at the same speed.
