🚦 Cambridge — Driving Safety Gauge

I was going round the roundabout, and this flatbed articulated lorry belonging to Apex Plant came to join, only thing is it should have been my right of way but he was going too quick to stop. I had to stop sharply on the roundabout, the navy Vectra behind me was following me too closely to see why I was stopping so swerved around me, only to find this truck nearly wiping the nose of his Vectra. Thank you for NOT waving an arm in apology you idiot – the truck would have had you as a grille ornament if you’d have gone any faster. Poor truck driver was distracted having to negotiate a roundabout while on the phone! To compound this fantastic piece of driving he then followed another articulated truck with several tons of bricks on like a true tailgater for nearly 4 miles! So that s due care and attention, using the mobile while driving a vehicle, and tailgating. You d think when relying on a licence for your livelihood you d be more careful... --- Context --- Type: Roundabout Madness Location: Cambridgeshire Vehicle: Volvo 480 Articulated truck Registration: MG62 PGS Date reported: 2025-06-25 --- Safety takeaway --- Approach roundabouts slower and be prepared for sudden stops or lane drift.

What an idiot. Purposely wheel spins onto the A15/A1260 roundabout over the A1139. Overtakes three cars on the single carriageway slip road onto the A1139. Weaves through traffic. When the lane restrictions come down to one lane for road works, and everyone slows to the temporary lower limit of 40, this clown swerves into the cones off lane, after realising he can’t make headway for the vehicles and people working in the lane (!!!) he plays a game of 40mph slalom whilst close enough to the car in front to be deemed as tailgating if he stayed in the same lane. If, for a split second, I thought that the people who operate the 999 switchboards would have been remotely bothered, and would have got the constabulary there, I would have not hesitated in dialling the number.

Turning out of Fen Ditton on Newmarket Road I was in the left lane which is to go left and right, which turns into dual carriage way. Well I was round and starting to straighten up when a blue car driven by a grey hair idiot indicates from the other lane to come into mine, however he was not in front of me, he was only just by my drivers door, he was completly obvlious to my car (a red Xantia 1.8) and proceed s to run my completly off the road and on to the pathway. Luckily no one was there, however my car took a hell of a pounding from the kerb. The driver didn t even flinch when I sounded the horn to alert them. I regained the road and was following him, he sheepishly looked in the rear view mirror.

As I was driving cautiously around the bendy part close to the Rose & Crown where there wasn t much space, it looks as if this impatient driver who pulled out from the right and joined the main road wasn t prepared to wait but wanted to get in front. My perception was correct - this driver went rather fast. I may have only been doing 10-15 mph but to cut in front and miss me by feet is more than just selfish. --- Context --- Type: Cut Me Up Location: Cambridgeshire Vehicle: Renault Megane Registration: YB62XKH Date reported: 2025-06-22 --- Safety takeaway --- Keep a buffer around lane merges and avoid reacting aggressively.

This numb-nut has already been spotted 2 days earlier in the same situation - parking up on the kerb on a part of the road with double yellow lines immediately outside the bank he was using!! Obviously, he couldn t give a sh*t about where or how he parks! PRAT!
