So this is how the journey went.
Driving to Southend over the weekend and the whole trip was full of absolute shithouse driving. First up, the lane hoggers—camped in the outside lanes on the motorway while all three inside lanes were completely clear. Move over, it’s not your personal cruising lane.
Then the selfish blockers—not moving over to allow traffic to join dual carriageways and motorways. What are you thinking? When did this become a thing and why. It is frightening.
Next, the pace-match idiots—overtaking on a dual carriageway only to sit beside another vehicle doing 55–60, matching their speed like it’s some kind of weird competition. Absolute tosspot behaviour. We behind you would like to get passed, you pulled out to pass and are now causing traffic to build behind you.
And the panic brakers—slamming on for speed cameras when you’re already below the speed limit. Why?!
I have never seen so many shitty drivers in one journey.
Then comes the boy racer belligerents—cutting across numerous lanes because you’ve got a fast car and think you’ve got the right to weave and speed, causing absolute mayhem behind you. That’s not skill, that’s dangerous shithousery.
To every one of those drivers over the weekend—up yours, and cheers for your shithouse, deliberately belligerent driving. I watched all of this, genuinely stunned at the sheer lack of awareness and ability over 80 miles. This was both ways.
What the hell has happened to drivers in the UK?
No, I’m not the best driver in the world. But I do understand lane discipline, I know the rules, and I know how to keep traffic flowing instead of causing chaos.
And don’t even get me started on these so-called smart motorways—what a mess. Why are speed limits not being reset properly? Why are they so badly managed?
