Idiots On The Road

[AliGage]

I'm sat in traffic this morning. Been sat stationary on the A14 for just over half an hour so far.

For the past two months I've had a 30/40 minute drive to work. I've seen it all as far as idiot drivers.

Women doing make up whilst driving, people on there phone, a driver with his feet up and a pillow!!

Whilst typing this it's just announced on the radio "big accident" and "Road closed". So far three police, three ambulances, two fire engines and a traffic officer patrol car.

Sounds very much like there's some serious injuries ahead. Which makes me wonder why people act like absolute prats behind the wheel, just to make it to work on time!?!?

Discussion: what's the most outrageous thing you've seen whilst driving to work?

I once saw a guy driving and at the same time was posting a thread on a forum :/

This happened yesterday...coming on to a roundabout going to come off on the second exit then heard police sirens, god knows where they were coming from, there was an entry road onto the roundabout from my left hand side.

A blue Audi came across the front just touching my bumper from a slip road onto the roundabout and continued straight over, unmarked police cars giving chase, the guy was driving like an absolutely nutter/thief.

If I had been 2 seconds earlier he would have been embedded in my van.

Found out today he had stolen the Audi backed into a police car, the roundabout then actually crashed into a vehicle and got away, decided to keep the van camera on now.

Worst ive ever had was about 4 years ago came up to an island in the left lane heading straight over, the idiot on the right decides to speed up and cut me up to go left, i hit the rear of his car i shot round the island so i could follow him and he was gone! Had only just started driving and didnt think to get his plate. And other about a week ago was shooting down the lanes and some old moron ina mx 5 decided to pull out as i was apraoching doing about 65, the van wouldnt brake fast enough so ended up the other side of the road next to the old fool would of totalled the both of us!

Scariest one I've ever seen was a chap who was driving to work in rush-hour traffic, windscreen completely frosted up apart from a letter-box sized bit he'd scraped off so he could see out. Fool!!
