xfox3x Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I've been driving for years too! 3 accidents all caused by men. 1. BMW driver who came out of a junction into the side of my car because he 'thought he would be faster than my li'l Fiesta' 2. A note stuck on the windscreen of my parked car from a van driver who 'forgot to put his handbrake on' 3. The side of my car ripped open by a lorry driver who 'didn't see' me as he moved into my lane on Penistone Rd. I drive around all day in my job and would never be so judgemental as to say all BMW drivers, van drivers and lorry drivers are crap. The only people I worry about are those over 80 who seem to be a menace whatever their sex or vehicle driven. 50% of the time it's people driving the big flash cars who tailgate because they think they own the road and the other 50% are the HGV drivers who try to intimidate other road users. That's my opinion...I too have seen them in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffvan 1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 never heard of overtaking I always do where possible, but you try overtaking on a narrow road,or where there is a lot of traffic coming the other way when you are stuck behind some fool doing 25MPH in a 40 zone.
