Every time I go onto the roads of this country I encounter drivers that either do not understand the rules of the road or do not care about them. There are a few areas in which poor drivers really excel.

| 03-3-2008 | For all those reading far too much into my site name 'old git' I'm 39 years old and very capable of driving having passed my advanced motorist test. I'm just annoyed at those that cannot follow the rules of the road because they are either in a hurry or too idle to put any effort int...more | Old Git |
| 22-2-2008 | Never mind extra tests for the elderly - everyone should be retested every 10 years. It is a joke that you can pass your test at 17 and never be retested when laws, cars, roads and standards constantly change. It's bad enough that laws can't keep up with developments (not revising speed limi...more | Craiged |
| 17-1-2008 | I think they should also do an extra test for old gits when they start to lose their ability to drive! (or think that they're great and everyone else is at fault!) I was hit head on by an elderly motorist who was blind in one eye and decided not to look at the road with his good eye before pulli...more | Kirsty |
| 03-1-2008 | Old Git lives in a driver's paradise which has long since died and gone. The roads that Git drives have not been improved and the volume of traffic they are now required to support is at least three tiems what Git used to experience as a young man.
The rules of the road [Highway Code] and roa...more | I've got the Gitters |
| 03-1-2008 | All this is non sense there is no way to safe driving nowadays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | BOND |
| 02-1-2008 | Roundabout rules are quite simple - unless road markings tell you otherwise, if you need to travel around more than half of the roundabout, you should be in the right hand lane, indicating right (and then left when get to your exit). If you're going less than half way around (usually turning lef...more | Billyboy |
| 12-12-2007 | BD,
I want some of what you've been smokin' and I want it fast mate. Don't care what lane you in but you've been smokin' some heavy s**t man!
Please give direction cos you's really fekked up. | Danny B |
| 12-12-2007 | "...pass on the inside before the person in front has a chance to move over"
What the hell are you doing in the lane 2/3 anyway? You should never have to move over to let someone pass - you should have moved over as soon as you had overtaken the vehicle in lane 1.
If there is room to...more | B.D. |
| 29-9-2007 | I'm afraid I get the impression that you are not a good driver!
Your accident on the roundabout was easily avoidable. You say that you 'fairly assumed' what the other driver would do. A highly skilled driver never assumes anything, and always anticipates that other road users could do...more | ADI 6 |
| 10-9-2007 | Well it finally happened. I guess it was only a matter of time before my gripe was actually realised.
I was on a roundabout on Friday (two lane approach) that had two exits, ahead and right. I wanted to go ahead so was in the left hand lane. Some idiot (I shall not refer to gender) was in the righ...more | Old Git |
| 09-9-2007 | I agree with almost everything said but I think point 3 needs elaborating on.
When a road can be seen to be diverging into one lane (and a queue has formed) then I think ALL cars should proceed in both lanes up to the reduction point and then alternatively enter the single lane.
This would cut ou...more | Vic Meldru II |
| 31-8-2007 | As someone who drives around 60 thousand miles a year I agreed with nearly all these comments, what about the dirvers who indicate left a roudabout and the go streight across. What about the drivers who still use mobile phones whilst driving. On my recent venture on the M18 , M1 to Watfod I coun...more | annoyed |
