Your bad driving encounters

Not sure what was worse this morning, the 2 cars that pulled out on me as I was on the roundabout, the 4 or 5 cars with rear fogs on when I was behind them or the van that had no lights on at all (it was pretty foggy this morning).
 
An E46 M3 Cabriolet pulled into a filling station I stopped at, in Gillingham yesterday - didn't pay much attention to him, as I'd parked the bike up to grab a sarnie.

Not sure who he wanted attention from, but he ragged it through the forecourt, and off down the road!

It wasn't until a couple of other bikers stopped and we were all chatting - that we noticed the small lake of oil in the spot the M3 had been in - sure enough, as I left the retail park, there was a nice slug trail of oil for a good 100 or so yards
 
That is horrific, people who might be borderline for stuff like ADHD, etc. potentially could struggle with information/sensory overload with something like that. There was a similar one near me that eventually got scrapped at huge cost.

While a rare issue and not unique in terms of encountering patterns like that in general so something people have to deal with really but still it is also probably a migraine trigger for a small number of people.

A bonkers one early this morning on my way home. I eventually ended up behind a petrol tanker at some lights with a black-on-black-on-black Range Rover trying to get inside my boot. There's a BP petrol station not much further along the road and I'm already assuming it'll be turning in there, so as we get closer I build some space between me and the tanker, much to the chagrin of the RR. Lo and behold, as we get to about HERE (for reference, all the road markings were recently reinstated) the tanker indicates right and moves over to straddle the main lane and the bus lane then hooks right again a bit so it can make the turn once the few oncoming cars clear. I hold well back as there's nowhere to go, but the fidgety RR quickly tires of waiting and boots it past me on the right over the hatched area, onto the other side of the road, past the tanker waiting to turn and into the path of an oncoming car before getting back onto the correct side and taking off.

Abysmal driving, all because he couldn't wait another 10 seconds for the tanker to clear. Fairly sure I then saw it parked up on the other side of the road a minute or so later.
