Bolton

I had the misfortune to have to drive through Darwen this morning - nothing wrong with the place except for the drivers here! Every time I have to go through the terrible driving is always amazing to me! Where else is bad for this as I drive hundreds of miles a weeks and this is the worst in my experience! Z

Yes, I can imagine - it's bad enough in the car - I do avoid Darwen when I'm on my bike though I must admit! Z

Used to live in Saudi Arabia and the driving there is horrific. If you have an accident with a 'local' it will always be your fault because you are in their country. If you weren't there the accident wouldn't happen!!! Also the young 13yr olds driving 'daddy' merc is a frightening sight to!!! You have to have been there to believe it really!

Steve lived in the Middle East for years and have to agree - been to Egypt a few times and love the way they drive in the dark to save the lights! Z

seems like no matter where you are these days, the driving standards of this country have gone down the pan!!!

you should give Notts a try to see some very unusul driving habits that have been imported free of charge from Eastern Europe.

I used to drive from Bolton to Blackburn and back every day and can confirm that Darwen is full of horrendous drivers. Now live in Preston and you'd think with all the roundabouts there that people would have some idea how to use them, but sadly not the case.

The worst however has to be when I'm coming home from work in Blackpool on M55 at teatime on a sunday, absolutely packed with clueless buffoons, who obviously only drive on a motorway once a year and are clearly petrified with their noses rubbing their windscreens and the steering wheel tucked under their chin, trundling along in the middle lane doing 50 while my Sunday roast is going cold!

Eastern Europe?!! Come to London and take your life in your hands with the Nigerian drivers!! I take cabs every where and I have to tell them from the off I've left in plenty of time so there's no need to set road speed records!!!

I was driving down a slip road to join a duel carriageway today only to be met by a car heading TOWARDS me. She must have driven at least a mile on the wrong side of the road to get where she was!

I stopped while she did a u-turn and nearly had a van run into the back of me!

Whilst i got to agree with Zoe on Darwen drivers being bad i feel far more hatered for tractor drivers especially early morning ones in summer as i had the misfortune to encounter an idiot driving 1 jumping a red light and ended up with both wrists smashed in 6 places.

I so agree with you - we get a lot down this neck of the woods.. and they are either in their own little world or completely incompetent drivers... so not a local problem but possibly a nationwide one

In reply to all of those who are slagging off tractor drivers, please consider the following:-

Apart from "exotic" machines like the JCB Fastrac, all tractors are, by law, limited to 20 mph. While there are a few who are capable of going faster, the majority are designed as not to exceed the 20 mph limit anyway. The reasons are manyfold. Because of the job it has to do, a tractor has no suspension to the rear axle and in most cases, the front axle. This is to improve traction when for example, ploughing, to improve stability when using a front bucket and also for stability when transporting ploughs etc. on the road. The only suspension tractor drivers have is in the seats.

A tractor and trailer can weigh upwards of 15 tonnes fully loaded. With the power available, accelleration isn`t exactly up to F1 standards Also, the weight could overturn a tractor and trailer when on uneven ground, hence why they have to wait for a nice large flat area to pull off the road to allow other traffic to pass.

When a tractor is on the road, unless it`s transporting fodder or produce, it`s not earning any money and all it`s doing is trying to get to the next job.

As you`ve probably gathered, I`m a tractor driver although I`m not involved with farming. I`m on playing field maintainance and my sites can be miles apart. One one day, I can cover 60 miles on the road just travelling from one school to the next. There`s no other economical way of doing it. One of the other reasons why the mileage is so high is that I`m avoiding some major roads that have few or no passing places and said roads are so busy when you do pull over, you are stuck there for hours I do try to give faster traffic chance to pass but it`s not always as practical as I`d like and sometimes simply impossible.

Would they be the same ants who disguised themselves as grains of rice then robbed the chinese takeaway ?
