So, there's being cut up, and then there's THIS.

There was absolutely no point for you to reply. If you haven't got something meaningful to say, don't post it on my thread tyvm.

This arrogant incompetent ÁSSHOLE van DIVES RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

You had me at Van. Yes, Ive experienced that most vans do that. I'm sorry you had to go through this terrifying experience. You will have to learn to think smart on the road when you pass, so that you can drive extra careful around them (especially the white vans that look dodgy). But normally other drivers don't do that. And well done for driving through such a hard roundabout, those can be pretty terrifying!

TWO idiots in one day. Must be a god-damn record.

I just went for another drive, and on the way back, on my road, idiot reverses out of the driveway, making me do a FULL-ON swerve. Seriously. Does ANYONE check their mirrors these days?! The roads have thrown absolutely everything at me today. Loads of other stuff, such as horrible meeting situations etc.

Oh yeah, I was also cut up at a mini-roundabout today when the person to my left decided to go for WHATEVER reason, so make that THREE.

Yep. It's rubbish. But two in a day isn't a record, as I said before you'll have days where it's just one thing after another. I would still rather drive though, so keep up the good work! ������

You haven't met the lorries yet.

Today in my driving lesson today, I was on a complex junction just before a roundabout. It was a tricky one. I had to keep in the left lane whilst there were three other lanes to enter the roundabout. This was a MANY-lane roundabout that you find on a dual carriageway, so traffic was moving pretty damn fast.

So on the approach to the roundabout, I kept in the left-most lane as I was about to turn left on this huge complex roundabout. So I had slowed to about 20mph by now and I was in second gear, fine and dandy, started looking on the roundabout, when SUDDENLY...

This arrogant incompetent ÁSSHOLE van DIVES RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. And when I mean close, I mean, TWO FEET. My bumper was TWO FEET from the side of his van. My instructor had to use the dual controls for the first time in eons and slam the break along with me and a little swerve to do a grinding emergency stop. We managed to stop inches from the van.

This van obviously did not care for other road users, was probably unlicensed, and obviously didn't check his mirrors at all. He didn't even signal. He probably just realised he was in the wrong lane and decided to dive into the correct one, not giving two ****s about the terrified learner behind him, or any other cars.

I have NEVER had such a close near-crash before. If not for my instructor, I would have crashed.

I can't believe this happened to me. I never see anyone do this to anyone else. It was so bad my instructor asked me if I wanted to pull over for a breather, but I declined and carried on with the driving.

But I guess I was due for my first meeting with an incompetent toolbag, after all, I've been driving nine months now, and many of my classmates have already had their first crash, and they haven't been driving much longer than me.

Is it normal to be cut up THIS BAD? Or was I just extremely unlucky? (to be fair, the roads threw EVERYTHING at me today).

TL;DR - Read it all god damnit >.<

I've seen lorries but they've never cut me up. Though there have been times when it REALLY LOOKED LIKE they were going to.
