Whenever I hear rhe word hooligans my mind goes to hundreds of opposing soccer supporters going hell for leather at each other. The video just seems a small scuffle involving a handful of people.

depends on many factors.

boys will be boys

A lot of shit I say is definitely frowned upon

YOu have a green arrow you usless ****ing campaigner. Two business days later you finally decide to move. I have to deal with these ******s every ****ing intersection.

My intrusive thoughts are a whole new thing.

i echo your thoughts. so many times ive seen drivers meandering in the right lane. I in the left, and get around them to turn right into a street/road. They veer into the left lane, and then right in front of me back into the right. And continue meanderation.

 

[peternorth]

He's pretty much the embodiment of the "OK, Boomer" trope for me. With an ego that wouldn't fit in the Grand Canyon just for good measure. What a campaigner.

EVery city drive i chill in the left lane knowing these idiots make no meaningful gains.

Thank Christ I drive around in the cone of silence, I’m terrible at keeping my thoughts of other drivers behaviour to myself

Driving got worst since covid...

Coming back home the other day .
I turning right was in the silp lane..Van a head of me..
I noticed a truck wanting to turn right into the highway facing a stop sign.
The van goes you can go to the truck.
Then the truck blocks both right lanes on each side of the highway...

This was fine meme.

I’ve been saying the covid thing for a while, most people disagree with me.

Me too .

People forget basic rules .

People on phones behide the wheel..

Endless list really.


Like you meant to give way to everyone when doing a U turn.
Then they get really grumpy at you.

I think the other big one is people have lost all sense of road awareness.

Trying to merge onto Freeways at 50/60kmh, inability to merge or let merge etc. I dont know if it was just people getting used to quiet road or what but that stuff is appalling now.

Fair.

I see lots of cars stop at round a bouts with no other cars around.

Some cars drive 10k under in 100/110 limit.

Yet 10 over in 60 limit ..

You dont forget how to drive

Its sheer arrogance and laziness that causes drivers to be inconsiderate

Absolutely love this. I get perma banned if my thoughts whilst driving were written here. How do you handle people that speed up at overtaking lanes then slow down to 95 once they're clear of them?

Inattention also. Even on a hands free call your mind isn't on the job properly

 

[GreyCrow]

We have a double lane at the turn right which leads quite quickly 100m into the expressway on-ramp

My mates favourite saying is ''pick a lane pick a lane '' because
1. the lanes squiggle and if you arent aware you drift into one
2. if you choose wrong you may not get into the expressway on-ramp because my mate will speed up to block you

ie pick a lane pick the lane that you need not one thats convenient

Really? I'd have thought that "lockdowns made everyone forget how to behave in public" would be a majority opinion

Saw five driver run red lights in the space of 30 mins.

I wish i had a dashcam

A special place in hell for campaigners like this.

Not much worse than when towing a trailer getting stuck behind a campaigner going 30 under the limit but for some reason when they hit that over taking lane they can't lift their foot off the accelerator.

This is the biggest one. In the last year I have seen more people run red lights than I have in my entire life preceding that i reckon.

They just don't give a shit.

Speeding up when they are clearly going to miss it, just to go right through.

Mash the go pedal to find out whether they're more serious about not being passed than I am about passing them
