As I was driving home from a pleasant evening spent with my family and my 5 year old niece, a vehicle approached from behind at excessive speed in a built up urban area around pub closing time, then tailgated me for about a quarter of a mile until I reached a roundabout where I indicated with a right turn signal to turn right at the roundabout. The moron in the Audi then veered to the left, under ......... read the full report

Good Morning
I would like to draw your attention to one of your truck drivers. He was driving in a very dangerous manner on the A44 (between Bicester and Oxford) this afternoon around 17:18 to a degree annoying most other nearby drivers. He didn't respect priority of drivers turning in a round about and was really terrifying.
Registration no. RX06 EWL

Mercedes C Class, black driven by male
Seen at 06:15pm on 04-Aug-2010 on A420 Oxford Area Oxfordshire
Male driver on A420 excessive speeding followed by rapid slowing down, undertaking, overtaking on bends and very rude hand gestures to other motorists. Made a van driver in opposite direction violently swerve to avoid. He was an absolute crazy lunatic that the roads would be safer without!

An absolute baffoon of a driver on the M40 south bond yesterday at about 5pm (ish).
Driving in the outside lane keeping a safe gap between me and the car in front whilst still overtaking the traffic in the middle... for about 5 minutes, the stupid female driver of this car was up my arse, literally a metre or two behind my car. Moved over to let her past as she wasn't for backing off and went st ......... read the full report

Ford Fiesta, silver driven by male
Seen at 06:15pm on 01-Jul-2010 on Weirs Rd Oxford Oxfordshire
The driver was intimidating the car in front, then made three successive overtaking manoeuvres to get further on in the queue for the lights. This was along Weirs Lane towards Abingdon Road. The second overtaking caused a car coming in the opposite direction to a complete halt.
Driving too slow - report by Laura updated 19/06/2010
Ford Focus ST, silver driven by male
Seen at 09:00am on 05-Jun-2010 on Banbury Road Kidlington Oxfordshire
i repeatedly see this car, driving through kidlington badgering other female drivers. i once heard him shout "Treaclet*ts" and "Hubba Hubba".
This behaviour is unaccepatble considering he appears to barely see over the steering wheel. He looks possibly albanian early 50s, with gelled slick spiky hair, he is well dressed - i keep thinking he might sell double glazing??
I feel he is a nuicance ......... read the full report

On the Northern bypass, approaching the Headington roundabout, the driver cut me off, changing lanes without signalling in advance (turned the signal on after starting the maneuvre). We both then proceeded to A40 (London Road) towards London, where he continued driving well under the speed limit in the overtaking lane. I flashed my headlights, a few metres behind him, going at 40 mph. Instead of ......... read the full report

Vauxhall Zafira, black driven by female
Seen at 05:45pm on 27-May-2010 on B4449 Oxfordshire
This woman was clueless when it came to speed limits and safe stopping distances.
Even at 70mph, she was so close to the back of the car, I couldn't read her number plate. When we approached the long straight section, she just continued to tailgate rather than over-take, despite there being no traffic in the other direction!
Her car obviously doesn't handle as well as ours, as she nearly we ......... read the full report

Peugeot 206, green driven by female
Seen at 08:00pm on 09-May-2010 on M40 Also Seen On M6 Later Oxford/Banbury Area Oxfordshire
This woman pulled into the inside lane without looking and would have hit me had I not braked hard and swerved into the hard shoulder. Even after almost hitting me I do not think she actually knew I was there. No reaction whatsoever to my horn or lights (or almost killing me!)
I saw her frequently undertake and change lanes for a considerable distance (unfortunately we were both M40, M42 and M6 ......... read the full report

Aggressively overtook me in a 30mph zone near a school, accelerated away very quickly and flew over speed bumps. Went to overtake another car and had to swerve back in due to oncoming traffic. Further on, stuck behind traffic in a 50mph zone I caught him up again he was serving across the road, and I saw him reading papers at the wheel. Also saw him bending down to passenger seat reading/picking t ......... read the full report

Ford Transit, white driven by male
Seen at 08:00am on 26-Apr-2010 on Oxford Road Banbury Oxfordshire
This van almost pushed me off the road into oncoming traffic. the driver was obviously in the wrong lane and instead of signalling and waiting for someone to let him in he proceeded to change lanes without signalling. I was right next to him, I honked the horn to let him know i was there and he just proceeded coming over into the lane without any regard for my or other drivers safety. Luckily th ......... read the full report

Volkswagen Passat, blue driven by male
Seen at 07:45am on 14-Apr-2010 on A420 OXFORD Oxfordshire
Firstly cut me up on a roundabout as he belived I was in the wrong lane which I was not. He then broke hard in front of me just down the road which could of caused an accident. He then made a number of rude gestures out of the window before slowing down and allowing me to overtake on duel carriage so he could make more offensive and aggresive gestures out of the window. This is not acceptable espe ......... read the full report
