Standard of driving

[procta]

Hi all,

At an attempt to feel like I'm more involved here (I'm on everyday looking through threads but never post) I thought I'd share a rant.

Has anyone else noticed the standard of driving seems to have declined a lot in the last 6-12 months? Maybe it's just me getting older, less naive and more cynical, but I swear some of the people on the road I honestly question where their licence came from. 

Not too long ago I was driving up the M40 late(ish) on a Sunday eve, in the 2nd lane with a few lorries and slower cars in the first lane, when a randomer in the outside (fourth) lane was trundling along. Rather than undertake, I thought I'd move right out in an attempt to move them over/not undertake, so over into the third lane they went, I returned to the second lane, FOR THEM TO MOVE BACK TO THE FOURTH LANE! Makes my blood boil.

I've also found 'professional' drivers (for a living; cabbies, bus drivers etc) to be some of the worst.

Anyone else noticed this?

PS: I'm still here floating around, just don't post much! I know a few of you wanted to make sure the DT I bought from Curt stays on the forum; it is, I'm here and do browse through the threads every day more or less! Has had an engine change since mind... 

Me and my dad were nearly killed, with some one playing funny f*ckers, on the motorway, coming home from sliverstone, The fool was pissing about with his radio, changing a CD! I was over taking at the time as it was a 3 laner, and I tell you his f*cking car must have been an inch with the passenger door of my car! if we had made contact I wouldn't have been here to tell the tail! A few gestures were exchanged and that was it.
