Behaviour which needs to be banned...

less bad driving Bluebeard.

I was happy with the first instance. Good and bad are very subjective, and I don't know if anyone, other than myself, could be trusted to be empirically objective on the matter. So, as I would refuse such a tawdry job, it follows logically that it is wiser to rule out driving to ensure that the job of ruling out poor driving is fairly and and resolutely completed.

dumb yanks who scream "get in the hole" when a golfer is teeing off on a Par 5 hole

Oh, do I agree with that. So irritating even for the putts.

Failure to indicate at roundabouts (not sure if that one has been covered).

Players who dive and feign injury and managers moaning about the referees when over a season the decisions usually balance out.

less bad driving Bluebeard.

I was driving home during the week on the motorway; a jeep pulls out in front of me doing 65mph. After ascertaining that she (and women really are bad drivers, despite how they'll fob that off as sexist) wasn't going to get up to speed, I undertook her (as I'm legally entitled to do). As I passed, I glared in at her to let her know I thought she was a silly wench; she started pointing downwards at me. Once I'd gone past, she flashed her lights at me four times at about 10 second intervals, as if there was a batman-style message written on her lights that I could read. I think she was telling me to turn my lights on at 8 in the evening when it was still bright, but why she had to pull out in front of me to tell me this (or why even she cared), I don't know. People like that should be shot. No appeal.

This is a very therapeutic thread.

Guys who are so lacking in sexual self confidence that when you are driving along at a very respectable 65mph while dressed as an attractive lady they so burningly must pass you that they resort to passing you on the inside, when the only reason you pulled out in front of them in the first place is to point out that they had left their lights off.

Monster ingratitude - last time I'll try to help someone on the roads...

You're an attractive lady now?!

(And it wasn't an attractive lady either)

There's a big 5-exit 2-lane roundabout outside the estate where I live. At least once a week the following scenario occurs.
The road I take back home that leads onto this roundabout is a single lane road.
Since I take the 3rd exit, I indicate right (because I'm not taking the first or second exit) and drive into the inner lane on the rb.
The car behind me pulls into the outer lane, which you should only do if you're taking the first or second exit
I pass the second exit, and indicate left because I'm taking the next exit
Person in the outer lane passes the first two exits (without indicating on either of them) and turns into the third exit.
Either I speed up to avoid them crashing into me, or pull out of taking the exit altogether, and have to go all the way around again to take it.

I've seen it happen to other drivers on the same rb, and there is going to be a serious accident if people don't learn how to drive on it

If the money is right.

(And it wasn't an attractive lady either)

Well, if you had your lights on, you might have thought differently

[pineapple stu]

On a similar note - although it's hard to fault the drivers here - there's two crossroads I know of where both the top and bottom end of the + get the green light at the same time. You don't know the other driver has the green light as well obviously, so you can both end up turning right and going into the left lane at the same time. Very wierd system.

Tell me you're not one of those fools who waits until he can't see the road before he FINALLY turns on his headlights.
Those people drive me nuts - just because you can see the road doesn't mean that everyone else can see your car!

I always drive with my lights on, it's standard practice in a lot of countries. I think Bluebeard had the right idea about banning driving completely.

People who try to get on busses before all the passengers have gotten off, just take a step back you morons. This seems to be a particular issue at the stop outside the Square in Tallaght, every time I get off the bus there I have to fight through a scrum of people trying to get on, it's shocking.

Nope, I'm one of those who, just because the sun has gone behind a cloud, doesn't turn my lights on. At the time, I'd say about half the cars had lights on, and half didn't. I was able to see the jeep whether or not she was flashing at me, so I know the lights weren't essential.

I don't get this idea of keeping your lights on all the time. I sometimes look at cars to see if I can see them easily in the day without their lights on, and without fail, I can.

(Which leads me to another behaviour trend which should be banned - doing things because they do it on the continent)

I am sure almost everything I get up to tomorrow night in Longford will most likely come under the "behaviour which needs to be banned"

Ha ha. Very funny! Was more thinking of the copious amount of alcohol & dancing on tables that will be done before running barefoot in the streets.
