Worst on the road?

albion1971:
It seems like Saaamon is the only one to notice the bad lorry drivers.Are you all blind or just biased as with most threads on here.
Why are cyclists the worst? Maybe because they hold trucks up and get regularly knocked off by them.

In my view all categories as are bad as each other.Driving standards are abysmal.At least cyclists have the excuse of never being trained.What excuse is there for bad lorry drivers.
Instead of moaning about others it might be wise to look at our own driving and try to improve standards before criticising others.

I think every category is as bad as the next however I think you will find that cyclists are as responsible for using the roads correctly as any other road user. As a HGV driver I have never been trained on how to use a taco but It is still law for me to use it correctly and my responsibility to do so.
No group on the road has an excuse for using it badly.

how have you never been trained how to use a taco , where did you get your lessons from ?

Lessons for what?
It is not a requirement of the LGV test to show someone how to use a tacho!

I think you’ll find there’s plenty of drivers who have never been trained on tachographs, myself included.

Unless you’re lucky enough to have some training, you know it’s part of the job so you find the informations and teach yourself.

Motor bikers for me,most arrogant fkrs on the road,they are like wasps you just want to swat them out the way,these wannabe F1 riders if you dont get out the way or make enough space for them to go between cars give you the coffee bean shake or a shake the head as they burn the tarmac up the road,think bike!!..aye right,its a two way thing,if they wanna make stupid manoeveres then let them as long as i am not there,and while im at it,Learner motorcyclists,who the hell is instructing them when they are out on their own? Followed closely by those leaden foot van drivers,i see new vans every day with dents and scratches on them and the drivers who seem to have permanent steam coming out their ears.

The best drivers seem to be in my opinion ordinary cyclists,despite what you all say they are entitled to use the road and on the whole quite careful…most accidents they are involved in are mostly not their fault but the impatient arse behind.

I’m guessing that this is tongue in cheek? ■■ At least I hope it is, either that or you drive on very different roads to me!

I would have liked a horse riders option too. They are up there with cyclists as the most arrogant [zb]s on the roads

You still haven’t answered the question as I doubt you have the intelligence to understand what a racist comment is…

A racist comment is a negative statement to make especially on a forum like this…

Put your crayons away, look in a dictionary and understand what ’ racist ’ means and when its soaked into your grey matter, please explain to me and everybody else on here why you think its acceptable to put a ’ negative racist ’ comment on here.?

Or perhaps you agree with that comment ?

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

To answer your question I haven’t seen the racist remarks and I can’t be bothered to read back through the thread.

This thread is…

The worst drivers on the road. …

Africans and asians have been mentioned. …

Would you say that is a more negative comment to say on a forum like this or do trolls ruffle your feathers more ?

Yeah so what they were mentioned. If they were raciest I think the MODs would have locked the thread by now and gave us all a good spanking. To be honest with you there’s nothing wrong with typing what was mentioned.

I am a black man and I think white people are terrible drivers.

My mum is from Ghana and my dad is from India. My grandparents were from China and the others were native Americans. My wife’s dad is from Australia and her mum is from Jamaica. One of my kids was born near the North Pole and the other in Samoa.

I’m bisexual and hoping to adopt a child with my disabled trans-■■■■■■ partner. My wife knows about him/her (whatever he or she feels most like self-identifying today) and supports our relationship.

Would it be safe to assume that you’re not the best driver in The World then?

Why is it OK to have the elderly as an option in this poll if it’s not ok to stereotype against races or gender (although “school run” could be interpreted as “women drivers” I spose)

Rikki-UK:
Commercial Motor is conducting a quick survey, Who in your opinion are the worst road users? please choose above, the results will be amalgamated with other research and appear in print in a future edition- you can choose up to 3 options

There should be an option for Toyota Yaris drivers.
They all seem to be absolutely P!ss P00r drivers!!

Don’t quote me as being racist, but I’ve noticed that just about ALL Indian drivers seem to be awful too. Just an observation, not being racist at all. :wink:

I’m offended because I’m half Indian.

Isnt that funny…i didnt even look at the posts before i cast my vote…and its ahead !

A total waste of time it wont make one bit of difference supposing you do know who the worst group is, anyway its allways going to be biased asking one group to vote on the rest. Eddie.

Even on a dedicated truckers forum, where I may be so bold to suggest that the majority of posters are truckers!

As of 12/08/13 truck drivers are joint 5th of the worst road users out of 13 options!

Go figure.

Is this one of those things like Turkeys voting for Christmas?
