What annoyed you today whilst driving ?

[DreamTheater]

The absolute **** 450 AG in her big Merc jeep that decided to both undertake and then overtake me while pulling across the Ards to Dundonald carriageway into the median filter lane. I have a new mortal enemy.

That sounds like the wab, who drove down the bus lane on the Newtownards Road 1 day, then decided to nearly clean me out changing lanes as I was waiting on a car in front turning into Stormont. I gave her a toot of the horn as she started having a hairy fit, then pointed at my dashcam, she soon calmed down and stayed about 50 metres away from me the whole way to Holywood Exchange,

Sadly I wasn't in the Tesla today or I'd post the footage.

Basically this, she tried to undertake when I started to cross the lanes, then swung round the back in the middle of the road. She's a clown.

I am not 100% sure how traffic lights work be it on timers/PLC binary/pressure plates but they have def changed on my way into Belfast from Dundonald at 0530 with red lights coming on for no traffic anywhere bar myself in the area

No big deal but just annoying

Usually work off dedicated traffic light controllers with timers built in but they are similar to a PLC. Emergency light detectors, pedestrian crossing buttons and induction loops are a common input into them.

I'd imagine in this day there's a good chance they could program them remotely, but not fully sure. Sometimes it's best to have stuff standalone too so it can't be hacked into and messed with.

Old couple in a Nissan tiida saloon, pulled out in front of me driving through Hillsborough then proceeded to drive at..........8mph I kid you not, didn't know ifi needed to be in 1st or 2nd gear. Then stopped completely twice just before entering the slip way and then on the slipway ffs

Was up at Cookstown yesterday and had a van with a trailer cut in, and then out again with no indication until he was actually changing lanes. That was on the way there, had a Flogas lorry do the same on the Castledawson-Toome dual cabbageway on my way back. Driving standards are in the toilet, but yeah, it's all about speed you know.

The bottom one is almost laughable.

I’d to go up to the Royal this afternoon and at least 5 or 6 cars went through the red light, flabbergasted at the state of some drivers

The 0530 tw@t doing 20 in a 30 and 40 with no where to pass

The 0830 tw@t doing 25 from Moira roundabout, to Moira (60), through Moira (30), out of Moira (40), to Magheralin (60)

I was in no rush but just annoying

 

[FM155]

They are the worse roads for absolute mongs to be stuck behind.

 

[CharlySkunkWeed]

Tada!

That's what really gets on my nerves. No need what so ever to do that, all to gain like a minute of time.
Theres the odd time in the loaded van where i know its better to sail on than to do an emergency stop, but dicks like him are dicing with death.
Someday two of them will meet and itll be carnage.

 

[CharlySkunkWeed]

Tada!

Catching people sleeping (not literally) on the road and you take advantage of their lack of attention for them to then take great offence to this with their main lights and hand gestures

They're just agreeing with you bud, telling you that they were right W️, with the NesCafe shake the beans wave

Correct, I just assume their gesticulations is excitement and approval of the exhaust note as I pass by
