#BadDriving I was incensed by this selfish person who stopped at the wrong side of the road, on a junction where there have often been accidents. So I took a photo of him, overtly. Then went to the post office and when I returned he has moved his car to a safer place - now blocking the entrance to the PO. Here he is:

Stupid is as stupid does. Prius driven onto the CalTrain tracks at Churchill and Alma, Palo Alto, CA as I was biking home Saturday. I let out a louder than intended expletive and the responding Palo Alto police officer answered with a "Yep" lol #darwinaward #prius #stupid #baddriving

A car driver (without registration) ran a red light "at speed" and hit a 10-year-old cyclist, knocking her over the windscreen and "through the air". The driver then immediately drove off, abandoning the car a bit later, and running away.

Amazingly, in Bolton Crown Court, a £1600 fine and 12-month driving ban was considered enough.

Only a car driver would be treated like be treated like this in court, as the first commentator notes:

A long day, and home.
Drove 246 miles and only averaged 51.7mpg. I miss my old Skoda, that would do 60+mpg.

Far too many speeders and tailgaters on the roads, and their driving got worse as the rain got heavier. They really shouldn't be allowed near road vehicles, or even people!

Roads are getting bad and will likely get worse as more ice starts to build. Seems like a black ice kind of an afternoon. So all of the bad CT drivers who are bad in good weather will be exponentially worse because they’ll be freaking out at the sight of snow flurries. New England has forgotten how to ‘winter’.

This car liked travelling incredibly close to the centre line in the face of oncoming traffic.

When there was no oncoming traffic it liked travelling on the other side of the centreline.

Am I becoming ever more grumpy as I get older, or are things actually getting worse on the roads?

I wrote about 11 annoying and strange things I've seen when I'm driving.

Just one bad driver on the ride out to Claremont, CA today. #cycliq #baddriving #Pomona

Has something been put in the water recently?
I've just seen three instances of poor or dangerous driving within a distance of 200 m.
1. Overtaking a driving school car, towards a zebra crossing with children (under 5 yo) waiting to cross. And, no, the driver didn't stop.
2. Tyre squealing acceleration/cornering of a roundabout with people crossing in front of them.
3. Revving a moped while people are using a zebra crossing.
Would you do it on a driving test?

I must have missed the memo about today being “Let Your Blind Centenarian Relation Drive To Church In Their Massive Mercedes Day” 🚗🤷‍♂️

You probably shouldn't do this at traffic lights folks #BadDriving #DashCam #JustSaying

Judging by the behaviour of Dublin's drivers and the sweet FA garda reaction, any jamming on Irish roads signals the start of a vehicular Purge - suspending all normal traffic rules.

Seeming: blocking bikelanes to turn into non-existent gaps or hell just park; speeding along side streets or past packed school crossings for a 20m advantage; ignoring red lights for a bit; stopping in box junctions; driving in bus lanes ... is all fine.

Another collection of really poor driving standards on display in this video.

We need an overhaul of our driving in this country with regular re-testing. It's just not safe out there.
