More Bad Driver Irritation

On the way home from work today I came across yet another bad driver.  This type is all too common and one of the most dangerous. Theres no question about it, these people need to be run off the road - and I'm not talking about a letter being sent to them, I mean literally run off the road.  We should employ the tactics the American cops have.  No warning, a pit maneuver is performed on the car, sending it spinning into the nearby hedge.  Once stopped - shout "sorry, you have to be stopped," and drive off!  That will teach them!!

On a 60mph limit road this car was doing 35mph, and this road is a fairly straight road which you can safely do 60mph.  The car behind it got to fed up they decided to overtake (not me, i have to add!.)  The driver who overtook had become so frustrated he took a big risk of overtaking on a slight bend, meaning there was a risk of an oncoming car coming and a head on collision.  If this had occurred it would have no doubt been the car overtaking at fault, which in actual fact the root cause was the driver being shoickingly slow.

A little way down the road i came to be behind this slow driver who was still ticking along in 2nd gear.  We came to a SLOW sign on the road, because there is an S bend.  Again you take this bend at 40mph without issue.  The driver decided he'd slow down to 15mph, and then keep jabbing the brakes on til we were almost stopped! There was no way i could overtake so i just had to suck it up, but this was very frustrating. 

We then came to 30mph limit where there is a school, and 30mph is the max you want to do here.  You would think that the slow drive would be a careful driver, and wanting to stick to this limit?  No... he sped up to around 45mph!!  

So, just because a driver is slow doesn't mean they are safe. Quite the opposite actually!  This type of driver who obviously cannot really drive at all has to be stopped by any means necessary. They are the ones who will cause accidents!

I maintain that a regular test of skill around the nurburg ring would be the way to go. Anyone who fails get this British passport torn up and made to stay to dig up roads.  Anyone who passes gets to come back and get given a Supercar.
