Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

People who decide to switch lanes on a roundabout without checking someone is already in that space and having to slam on my brakes to avoid you.

People who seemingly cannot read roadsigns. We have a roundabout on the way home and the signage is completely clear. Left lane is left turn only, middle is straight ahead, right is either straight ahead or right.

Number of times knobs have been in the left lane then decided, late, they suddenly need to go straight ahead and need to cut into the middle lane is unbelievable. Some are stupid, but as the queues are less for the left lane some are clearly deliberately using it and cutting back at the last minute. Any guesses for which car drivers do this most often?

Hmmmm, let me think............... :-p

Joining the 50mph dual carriageway at 50 mph, then having to immediately slow to 40 mph, then having to drop to as low as 30 mph at the speed camera spots. Winds me up EVERY time!

Drivers leaving it at the last minute to:
a) Leave the motorway by crossing over at least one carriageway.
b) Bypass queues when a lane is closed and cutting in.
c) Overtake instead of slowing down behind a vehicle when lanes merge.
