I was on a NSL road today (road into Ballyrobert going past Maloneys if you know it) and at a wee bunch of houses I noticed a van pulling out slowly and ending up covering my lane, thought what a madman with me sitting at about 50-55mph......turned out the van was unoccupied and the handbrake hadn't been applied! Jesus. Threw the hazards on and knocked on the door, van was very lucky not to go into the other lane and block the whole road as there was oncoming traffic doing 50-60 or that I wasn't going a bit faster then it wouldve been in the side of me lol reminded me why i park in gear with my handbrake on to be extra safe!

people in the right lane here:

Who think they are in the correct lane for cromac street, when in fact they are in the lane for the city centre etc.

Driving to and home from work i have to go through Moira which has the worst road surface around, i think every utility company in the country have had a go at digging holes/ trenches or whatever they call them in the village and then doing a shiity job filling them in.....Now we have phoenix gas putting in gas mains from the top of the village to the bottom ...EEEEEeeeerrrrrrrr ***.

Back in my placement days I would have went in the right lane, launched off on green and got in front of people in the left!

Some days I spend a lot more than that on the road. Smaller vehicles have no restrictions in that respect. Can be a good thing or bad !
The comment was said in jest though.
The lanes just before this at the lights is a nightmare too, people in the right lane don't realise the lanes turn so plow straight on into the left lane... Near lost the back of my car too many times there

The fact they are digging up the Newtownards Road at Trust Ford for the second time since Christmas. If you are a profit making utility company and you want to dig up a publicly maintained road then you should have to resurface the road from kerb to kerb for the full length of the work you have carried out.

Thats what I am saying I am sure they just can't rock up and dig a hole in the road I am sure they have to ask before they do that. They should be told they need to resurface the road completely and properly and if they don't they dont get permission to dig anymore holes until they sort it

The only improvement they could make to them, is to remove them !

Gonna keep this more of a daily experience than a generic rant...would take too long otherwise!
M1 about 6bells this evenin, Southern reg A3 joined from Sprucefield behind me, full beams and fogs on. I flashed brake lights, rear fog, hazards, gave him a few flashes of the full beams after they passed me, and nothin! I passed them as they moved left to come off at Kings Hall and they still had them on. I don't even mind their 'mistake' of having the lights on, but if someone was tryin to get your attention like I was with the light show I put on for them, surely the first thing you'd do is check your full beams etc. Totally oblivious, they prob thought I was mental!

I was pottering along today heading towards the 6road ends behind a hyundai i10 from donaghadee, driver in front was fluctuating between 40mph and 50, which usually drives me nuts as I hate people who are unable to maintain a constant speed, but anyway I was in no rush so stayed behind him. As we approached the roundabout, there was traffic at ballycrochan road, a d1ckhead in a landcruiser waited until the last second before pulling out (even though it was clear for about 15seconds beforehand) and caused the i10 to near emergency stop, it was almost as though he didnt even see him, such a complete WAB, then he just continued to drive on like he had done nothing wrong!!
Also, the indicator thing really bugs me, i find myself shouting at cars which don't use them.

It annoyed me today that there isn't a bus layby on the dual carriageway from the Seven Towers R'bout to the Dunsilly R'bout.
How ****ing dangerous is a bus stopping dead on a 70mph dual carriageway!?

Ive ranted about this before but excuse me while i go off on one again.
People from Ballymena/Ballymoney/Antrim/Frosses Road joining the M2.
Why the ****, does each one of the ****s join the M2 and dive straight into lane 2 and ****ing stay there at 60mph until they get to Belfast? Complete shower of thick ****s.
Then, on the way home, they all hog Lane 2 at 50/60 mph the whole way to the exit and only dive onto the exit sliproad at the last ****ing opportunity allowing the traffic to flow like it should.
Complete shower of ****ing ****ing p***ks with ***** road manners.
