Mothers on a mission - highly dangerous accident waiting to happen.....you should see them blast past my work on the icy ungritted side road leading to the school, rammed full of kids. I'm amazed they've manage to stop at the junction, and there hasn't been a nasty accident yet (the thought sickens me), although there was some glass there a few days back...so maybe one didn't make it.

I didn't even have to read past the title of this thread and I knew it would be idiots in people carriers. Maybe its the shame of driving a converted van that makes them drive like loons. Had a stupid woman driving one last week, stuck in the lane 2 of dual carriage way at 45 mph - traffic all queued behind, got fed up so went to sneak by via lane one, decided she wanted to be in that lane and almost took front of car off. Then left at same junction still two lanes and in lane two decides she needs to in lane 1 as tunrning left, cant get in so when light go green (still in lane 1 straight on or turn right)cuts across and goes left causing everyone to slam on and let her do it. Best of it is car has three young children in ! Why could not go round the round about (approx 1 min extra added to journey etc). Know its a horrible thing to say but I wish someone had run into her as I believe that is the only way she would learn anything. And I would of stayed there and given evidence to say she was driving like a complete pratt.

rsarjantson, did she have a child on board thing in the window?, that tends to mean license to drive like an ****.
And white van men like myself only do it to try and get our breeze block like vans in to the slip stream to try and gain some speed, well thats my excuse, the Belingo i drive is ****e to be polite, nothing worse that coming towards an incline you have to try and get as much speed as possible for the climb and some ******* pulls out, game over, it always tends to be people carriers or people in big BM's etc.

Trust me it works both ways, had to use a Galaxy for a week instead of the scoob and i got cut up pulled out on and generally treated like ****e.
On top of the fact that they handle like boats and look like posh vans you get treated like a lepar on the roads!

Take a section of country road to get to my work. its about 1 and a half cars wide, now when Im driving down the road in my RX7 (its fairly low hence the part coming up) I dont particually like pulling half on to the grass, especially where the tarmac runs out because theres a dip and the grass is like 1 big ditch, now on the other side its relatively flat. I still use the edge of the grass for other cars like a mini I see every morning but 9 times out of 10 I see a 4x4 with a WOMAN driver who wont leave the tarmac nearly running me off the road all the time and damaging the side skirts now I just stop in the middle of the road and MAKE them use that 4x4 of theirs for what it was intended for

People carriers are not safe in anyones hands! The women can't drive them or park them for toffee - plus they try to drive them whilst talking/ playing/ feeding other kids in the car - AND THEY BAN MOBILES COS THEY'RE DANGEROUS!
Then, in the school hols, Dad gets his hands on it and decides to 'open it up a bit' on the M1

I think they must be trying to prove something!
We have the same problem with narrow lanes down here Dave GTT and I do the same, if I get to the narrow bit first I drive down the middle or stop there and force them to at least slow down. You have to do it for your own protection.

had the same thing yesterday on the the way home - 30mph zone with a people carrier on my rear bumper, trying to push me down the road whilst on the phone and accompanied by a young child in the front seat not tall enough to see over the dashboard.

the reason why they cant park properly is because the lines are too narrow and havent been updated to align with the size of people carriers according to the news this morning.

My youngest, now 16, started referring to these things as "vans with windows" when he was about 7, and old enough to have an interest in cars.
I'm pretty sure that it's right: people who drive them DO drive like idiots to prove to others that it REALLY IS a sports car, not a van
Seriously: you should see how French MEN drive 'em, let alone their women You can be in the Scoob at silly speeds on a French motorway, pass one, and withins seconds it'll come screaming back past you. I've seen 'em towing trailers at over 100mph

Never never mess with a mum who is:
Late, dropping the kids off, making a phone call on her mobile, thinking about the shopping list, have I shut the front door etc etc! As Arnoe once said in one of his films.YOU WILL LOOZE! he he
I do find the dudes in the Cryselers MPV's are the WORST! (how do you spell it?)
