Worst Driver on the forums?

Post by Tom »

OK, so we all know there are some pretty terrible drivers on this forum (myself included) but who's the worst?

I know Hugh's last accident wasn't his fault so that sort of rules him out. So that leaves..um..me?

Vote away..

I got licence 1994, I have not get any parking tickets, fines or like that. Two times I have had an accident, but none of them was my fault, as I avoided hitting other cars by driving out of road once and once I squeezed car between another car and barrier.
Those accidents happened 1999 and 2000, then I drove nearly 20000km at month so things can happen :)

However I'm doing lot of overtakes and very rarely anyone will overtake me, so I'm not driving very nicely or 'safely' as offical define it.

Can't say I'm worst but I will not be best either, something between I guess ;)

I think there is bbc tv-serie that is called "Britain's worst driver" ?

I'd vote me for having the worst luck on the forums, steering rack dies at 160kph, the day i bought my 1st 360 a tree fell on it.
The day i rego'd EVO360 a truck reversed into it while it was parked.
Today i got a court summons for a parking ticket i got for parking 1hour and 4 minutes in a 1 hr parking space, even though i had paid the fine.

And to top it off, my cat wont lay on my lap for more than 10 seconds...

Actually i vote foggy, i mean really... who smokes up the rears on a volvo :P

I could say so much about going up the arse of moggys Tom but the moderator would just delete it all (oh yeah thats me !!! ) My mates moggy VAN was great different, colour every week (hand brushed emulsion )and the night i hit it, it was sky blue with bits of the white undercoat showing through, the rear end below the doors was all cardboard and filler ( luckily thats where I hit it so no damage to my car but total carnage to his LOL. I think I am just unlucky !!! how many people have not only been side swiped by a one armed lady and had a deaf bloke pull out in front of them in one lifetime, If it wasn't for them . foxes , other peoples crap driving , renault kangoos and broken fence posts. I would have only ever had one accident in my life and that was before I had passed my test LOL
