Yeah was posted a couple of months ago, I'd forgotten all about it though. I imagine its kept alive by the same sort of people that write in to Points of View.

Shame you can't comment on the reports without signing up.
 
I'm actually disapointed I'm not on the list! who on earth actually has that little to do in life that they fill out stuff like that? It's like the poeple who complain about bad language in TV programs but insist on watching the whole show/series so they can count the number of occurences!
 
Aww, I'm not on there...
I liked this one:
This driver refused to let me in during a lane merge...see rest of report.

I can see why there'd be a red light there... How fast was this person going to merge in anyway? They were so close to the end of the lane and going fast enough to have to take considerable slowing action to avoid the verge... "This driver seemed determined I wasn't going to take my place" :D ahaha, this person sounds a barrel of laughs.
Maybe they should try and merge sooner next time instead of speeding all the way to the end of the lane.

I suppose merge in Turn can be abit to much for some.
 
None of mine are there, or my gf's, we must try harder :(

Surely these people are a hazard, you can imagine them pulling out thier notepads and making "ooooh matron" noises whilst in traffic to note the plate of the do-badder?

reknaws! the lot of them :D

True, I find it a bit difficult, especially when these other fools don't let me in to my designated place in line. :(

I like how we're all disappointed when we don't find results for ourselves. Some would say we're missing the point. :D

Edit: Jesus, reports for illegal spacing of the letters on the number plates...
Some of these are hilarious but it's depressing to think that people can't think of anything better to do with their day. They shouldn't be making reports, they sould be laughing at the people who do.

lane merging

Some people don't understand the fact that people use it to jump the queue, as I suspect the poster of that was, and then they complain on that place that someone was not letting them in. I never let people merge, mostly because they come zooming alongside me and try to jump. :)

I'm surprised there isn't one about that guy, from the other driver, complaining that someone wouldn't give up...would be amusing to see the two reports. :D

There are no matching results, and I drive like a right tool at times.

Mental note: New years resolution, get reported on BetterDrivingPlease

The whole point of merge in turn is that both lanes get busy alloying less congestion furtherback. If you think it's because he is "queue jumping" it merely means you lack the understanding of what "merge in turn" actually is.

Prime example, on the way to work there's a roundabout with a 2 lanes coming off it with merge in turn.... no-one does it so the roundabout gets backed up and then gets blocked for ANYONE going any of the 5 exits. If people used the two lanes this wouldn't happen.

It's not their fault you don't understand merge in turn :)
 
These people need to get a life.I mean whats the point. I wonder if it mentions whilst writing down the offending vehicles number they caused a crash behind them!
 
I fully understand merge in turn. But when the left lane (take this as the main lane, and right as the one that merges) is relatively empty and someone floors it alongside/past you on the right, all they are doing is queue jumping. Obviously in peak times like around 8am - 10am and from like 3pm - 6pm the roads are busy and people should use the merge and people should let them merge. I let people merge if they aren't being a tool, I'll even let a few in front, as it can often clear some of the queue due to the really selfish drivers that completely ignore merging.

If the left lane is relatively empty, what queue are they jumping? All they're doing is overtaking you.

If your overtaken on a country lane, are you the kind that sticks your full beams on too?
