    I drove for about an hour today. On my way I met two drivers who broke excessively. Like every slight bend, they were on the breaks. And this wasnt even on the same road. Two completely separate and unrelated drivers, driving like pricks at 30 miles an hour in a 60 road. Also, assholes who dont give a fuck about lanes. They start of in one lane, hit a turn or a roundabout, and all of sudden they are taking turns like F1 drivers. About 4 of these types of dicks. And last but not least, on my way home, some little boy racer prick in a ford fiesta with go faster fart noises coming out of a gaped exhaust that looked like an only fans chicks arsehole. He was on the motorway, hogging the fuck out of the outside lane. After so many arseholes, I just said fuck it, and drove right up his arse to force to get the fuck out of the way(I know, dont care). And the wee prick had the cheek to look at me like I was the asshole I booted past him.

    Honestly, the sheer amount of terrible driving, obliviousness to other road users, and lane hogging is enough to drive you mad. No cunt knows how to zipper, no cunt knows how to indicate BEFORE they start their manoeuvre. No one keeps a 2 second distance. Everyone is just out there, being a fucking arsehole. I exaggerate, of course. The majority of drivers are fine. But theres just so many cunts, it feels like youre driving the fury road most days.

      It’s a small thing, and irrelevant to your comment, and I’m sorry for any embarrassment I may cause you. You’re using the wrong word. When a car actively decelerates it is braking https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/brake-or-break-difference

      Other than that, I do agree with you, I put about 50k km (30k miles) on the odometer each year, and the amount of shitty drivers out there is astounding. The other day I saw an elderly couple trying to enter a roundabout. It was a busy section of road during rush hour. Driver was looking both right and left, instead of just looking left like you’re supposed to. They had a clear left, but oh no car is entering the two lane roundabout to our right, we better yield … Generally roundabouts, it’s like people didn’t hear about them when training for their license.

          The difference in spelling between “brake” (as in, the thing that stops your car) and “break” (as in, what happens to your car when you don’t stop it in time and it hits a tree).

            Saying “fuck” doesnt make me angry. Im Scottish, I say shit, fuck and cunt for any and all reasons under the sun. Including, but not limited to, greeting a close a friend. Okay dokie, cunty chops? :)

              I don’t write in my native Danish, gør jeg vel pikhoved? Because doing so would not be understood very well.

              If you want to come off as an insufferable cunt with anger issues, who’s watched too many fantasy movies, you can keep writing in Scottish. But be advised that you can’t dictate how what you write is interpreted.

              Might be, but getting so angry while driving that you drive like an reckless asshole as some kind of weird revenge on an unrelated third party is an anger management issue.

              One that should disqualify you from driving.

                Depends what you mean by angry? Out of control, yeah. But I was never out of control. Thats you putting that on me, to make yourself feel superior. Classic case of redditor syndrome.

                  Using multiple punctuation marks comes across like yelling.

                  See??? It’s like I’m yelling with my keyboard!!!

                  It’s like a step below caps-lock.

                  Sure. You totally weren’t out of control when you were recklessly driving and endangering yourself and everyone else around you. That’s was a totally reasonable thing to do, right?

                  “Out of control” when being angry doesn’t mean that you feel out of control. It means that your frame of reference shifts so much that you do idiotic things while fully believing that you are in control. That’s what you call an anger management issue. You don’t even realize that you are out of control with anger and feel totally justified in the idiotic things you do while angry.

      Radio: “Watch out, there’s a wrong way driver on the highway!”

      Listener: “One? I see hundreds!”


      and drove right up his arse to force to get the fuck out of the way

      Sometimes the one complaining about asshole drivers might be one themselves.

      There’s also the people who will be driving along the road at the speed limit, and will suddenly slam on the brakes start turning, and then indicate because they’ve got to their road.

      Usually they are in Range Rovers, who’s closest they have ever been to off-road is when they have to park in a field that one time in a national trust overflow car park.

        Imagine that, but on a motorbike, without indicating or looking, and veering directly infront of you. Then yelling at you for hitting him as you bandage him and your buddy.

        I now give a little chirp any time I pass someone if its not super congested.
