Just because you can afford a Ferrari, doesn't mean you know how to drive it. youtube.com/watch?v=sI0ier…
Replace Mikey with a car, following the lane markings for the direction they are travelling. The coach driver on the other hand, very silly going into a complex junction either knowingly or unknowingly in the wrong lane and then to cut across two lanes of traffic.

If the police catch you, that’s 6 points and a hefty fine on your license for using an uninsured motor vehicle on the road.

A silly motorist pulls out at the speed of a sloth on sleeping pills, forcing the camera car to swerve like it's in a dance-off with fate. 🚗💤🕺 #SillyMotoristMoves #SwerveCity
What do we think: 1) Deliberate attempt to block me? 2) Mobile Phone? 3) Just can't drive? WF63 XHS #WF63XHS
Words can’t describe the selfishness of this driver.
Silly motorcyclist, always look before you break the rules.

Don't be a Silly Cyclist. React to @SillyMotorists by braking, not holding your hands up, and being unable to avoid a collision. x.com/i/status/17502…
@SillyMotorists @cyclegaz I use that crossing, and the one on the opposite side of the island (toward Hyde Park) on my commute. I always check that the traffic is at a stop before crossing on a green signal as so many drivers jump the lights there.
🚦🚕🚗 A taxi driver and a car driver, both in a hurry, didn't slow down as the traffic light turned red and zoomed right through it. A stark reminder for us all: No destination is worth risking lives. Slow down, respect the lights! #StaySafe #RoadSafety
Drug driver fails to stop at red light because they didn’t have enough time to stop. Might have something to do with reduced reaction time?

@AntounNabhan @greg_shill @maxdubler Yeah, most drivers want higher limits. Most say they are 'safe drivers'. 85% consider themselves to be "above average". So we get this: x.com/SillyMotorists…

The mother and baby are unharmed! How? Sheer luck! Not how much faster it was travelling compared to the other vehicle. Clearly speed is a factor, about time speed limiters were put into all motor vehicles.
Don’t be a silly cyclist. When you can’t see the road ahead of the vehicle in front, take my caution, leave more space, brake a little harder.
A @sillycyclists and a @SillyMotorists collided, who's at fault? They say opposites attract, but this is taking it too far 🚴♂️💥🚘
Not one, but two. This silly motorist is out of control!
Did this Silly Motorist fall for the MGIF syndrome that meant they couldn't properly read the road ahead? How far did they get? 🪿 Close passed a cyclist 🪿 Got too close to the pedestrian?
What the…
Don’t overtake at junctions! The risk is huge. This cyclist is very lucky to not be injured.

@SillyMotorists Well, since you don't have your hands at the recommended 10-2 position, I have no sympathy for you 😉😂 So many drivers I encounter are so bad at giving way. On almost every ride I have to swerve at at least one junction or roundabout to avoid nonsense like that.
@SillyMotorists I like the overlay, but the fact that you actually have the correct location on the navigation is just brilliant
@SillyMotorists Lucky the camera car was on the ball and versatile and able to swerve out of danger.

@IanMSpencer @cyclegaz It could be a "pedal backwards to brake" design...however what disturbed me (apart from that traffic light, haha!) was that it looks like that double-decker bus is parked on the pavement 😂
@cyclegaz That AI picture is like one of the 1960s puzzle book "Spot the Mistake" drawings. It can't even get the shape of the phone box right, no brake levers, random single traffic light, driving all over the road, imaginary taxi design...
@cyclegaz I see the bus skidded off the road, dangerous times back then! Someone's going to think I meant that, aren't they
@SillyMotorists @cyclegaz I use that crossing, and the one on the opposite side of the island (toward Hyde Park) on my commute. I always check that the traffic is at a stop before crossing on a green signal as so many drivers jump the lights there.

@SillyMotorists I'm sure it was the fault of a cyclist somewhere.
@stuart1679 @SillyMotorists Regardless, they should never be driving ever again.
@SillyMotorists @snevinoj About time that people who commit blatantly dangerous acts of driving are actually prosecuted for dangerous driving, and banned for significant periods.
@SillyMotorists That lampost has saved them. We tend to drive on the left hand side of the road in the UK.
