Taxi - Toyota Avensis

Category:
Bizzare and inexplicable driving.



Thoughts:

You really have to wonder what's going through some people's heads when they drive. Nothing at all, by the looks of this one. Somehow managed to drive through a number of junctions without indicating once, all this time also keeping the right-hand wheels completely on the wrong side of the median line on the road, and managing to speed up and slow down erratically causing a domino effect of panic braking in the line of traffic behind. Then just decided to stop dead for no reason at all with no warning indication whatsoever. Mind you, the Taxi plate should have prepared the other road users for this kind of behaviour.

Unbelieveably nasty driving.



Thoughts:

So, you're driving along, and you see 2 pedestrians walking on the pavement. In by the curb is a large puddle. What do you do? You deliberately swerve in close to the curb, and completely soak the poor sods. There is no oncoming traffic, so it must have been deliberate. Something bad is going to happen to you soon, if there's any justice in the world.

Thoughts:

So you're in a hurry. Hey, so is everyone else, but no-one else felt they had the right to create a new lane of traffic by driving down a narrow cycle lane (so narrow, in fact, that you had to clip the wing-mirror of a car in the correct traffic lane to fit past), and then cutting up a cyclist. Oh, you didn't see him? Well, that was fairly obvious. He's ok, in case you're actually concerned.

Littering.



Thoughts:

Another arsonist here... When you throw a lighted cigarette out the window, do you even consider where it's going to end up? It's travelling at the speed of your car, so imagine a 60kmph lighted cigarette hitting an infant in a pram. Not a nice thought, is it?

Littering and dangerous driving.



Thoughts:

If you're going to throw litter out of your car window as you drive along, at least have the courtesy to stub out the cigarette before you fire it out into the path of the person behind you. It bounced off their windscreen and could easily have come in a window, or the sunroof, and burned the occupants.
