Posted about this before but have noticed just how bad jumping of red light is getting this week! I have even had a few incidents of starting to cross roads on a green man and cars have jumped red lights.
I am sure its a London wide thing but the stand of driving has dropped off a cliff lately in east London.
Everywhere in London mate. But east London is the worst one. The A13 being the worst of the worst Honestly I have been staggered this week! Off work on holiday so been out and about a lot more both on foot and driving and its crazy! Seriously think the police need to clamp down on this but probably don't have the resources.

Just used the A2 from bluewater to Blackheath. Saw 5 instances of cars changing lanes without indicating - so in the space of 20 min There was a crash on the A102 yesterday so took 30 min to go from sun in the sands roundabout to angerstein! |

Welcome to my world, have mentioned this in the past as someone who walks quite a bit. One of the big offenders are cyclists who bring an extra danger to pedestrians when crossing a road |

Said about this before but really think something needs to be done about delivery drivers on mopeds. The standard of driving is becoming so reckless, tonight one over took me and then skidded and nearly ended up under my car! Luckily I was going really slow so had plenty of time to stop. I think the problem is so many drivers are working the same patch they are rushing and chasing for the next job.

You don't want that Happy Meal to be cold or you lose your commission  also throw in "Road Men" masquerading as Deliveroo as they shift their weed, or are out to steal from Dior, Gucci, snatch phones etc #racklife  Or perhaps you are on the phone arranging the King's Coronation, or that's the BS you can tell the judge when caught running a red light www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11250447/Duke-Norfolk-planned-Queens-funeral-admits-running-red-light.html |

They are above the law imo |

They are above the law imo I saw a spectacular crash in Enfield Town with one of these morons who jumped a red light and skidded into the back of someone's Corolla Quite interesting that all the black panniers at the back where they store your pizza or jerk chicken are adverts for bike repair / insurance firms as a lot must get written off  |

Was in the Ilford and Seven Kings area today and experienced some very aggressive driving. There was some heavy traffic and I was barely able to get above 10mph but had a massive Audi behind so close it was unreal! As the traffic cleared they got annoyed with me as I wouldn’t speed up over the limit so proceeded to drive at considerable speed on the wrong side of the road.
I honestly thing the roads are getting silly now with the stuff I see on a daily basis.

I honestly thing the roads are getting silly now with the stuff I see on a daily basis. there's also too much road rage, people are getting aggressive and swearing at drivers like for driving too slow, turning when it isn't safe to do so, forgetting that the traffic lights turned green. People do seem to be getting nastier on the road now |

Was cycling past Grange Hill station heading westbound. A light grey car was driving in the other direction at a normal speed, whilst a dark grey car zoomed past it, possibly around 60mph as I was passing the first car, almost hitting me. Fortunately I wasn't hurt but this type of driving is unacceptable! I'm sure the road was 30mph. I don't understand why people think it's ok to drive that dangerously

Bringing this thread back but seriously the driving skills nowadays I really don't know what to say.
Especially in the motorway. Why some people still persist on doing a 60 when said speed has not been displayed on the boards.
The worst offenders are those that straddle between two lanes and those that use the far right lane by go so fcxking slow

I use the A12, A13 and A406 a lot and some of the things I see are crazy! The biggest issue seems to be undertaken which can be extremely dangerous when you are moving over to the left. People drive like they are playing a video game or in a Fast and Furious film.
I have also seen some really bad lane straddling too. I don't know whats has happened is it the standard of teaching? people just don't care any more?

Them cars I have to literally move over to the other lane so I don't get hit by them. Sometimes it's a bit scary |

The worst parts seem to be around the Canning Town flyover where the speed drops from 50 to 30. When going towards the Blackwall Tunnel from the A13 I literally have to move either in the middle lane or the left lane as I know those on the far right lane will still go above 50 despite the cameras up on the top and then the shock horror of their faces when the get that NIP in the post 😂😂 still assuring themselves they didn't speed but deep down they know they did and were just hoping they'd get away with it. |
