People who leave Arnold Clark stickers in their rear windscreen.
They're a pain the dick. My dad had a Punto years ago with one on, took ages to remove the bugger.Renault are annoying too, their rear screens are getting smaller and smaller but they still have to stick 3 / 4 brand-related stickers on there. Renault, Elf, Eco, RenaultF1, TeamRenault etc etc
Some tard in a Corsa, was following him and she moved to the wrong side without indication and came to a stop, I start grumbling to myseft when he suddenly swings left to go into a tight entrance still no indicator, she looked very confused when I beeped. Less than a minute later a Prius was parked illegally as I overtake he sets off no mirror or indicator, he did put his hand up to apologize when I beeped again.
But the knob of the day was a Golf R (knob car of choose at the moment) who on a three lane 30mph road went shooting up the right at 50+ and cut in as lane three went right and the left two lanes reached a pelican crossing, making me brake hard to avoid a collision, he then forced himself into the left lane nearly causing another collision, he also went through two red lights.
All this was in the space of 15 minutes.

Scumbags.
1/ Scumbags who throw cigarettes out of cars.
The filter end set fire to the dry grass and when I drove past the gate was on it's way. Lifted it off the hinges and put it out before the Fire Service rolled up to finish the job.
2/ Scumbags who leave fishing tackle laying around.
This gull was tangled up in tackle and caught on a bolt on top of this building. I climbed up, cut her loose and she flew away as if nothing had happened.
I know Seagulls have had a bad press lately but no animal should die like that.

Thanks, but anyone would have done the same.
Those who discard lit cigarettes and filter ends from vehicles are a bug bare for me. It's the third highest cause of bush, brush, stubble field, forest and wild fires in the world.
Forget transporting children about forcing them to breath in passive smoke and all the other arguments this time of year a blanket smoking ban on our roads (pedestrians, cyclists, passengers and drivers) would put an end to this form of drive-by arson overnight.

Narrow road traffic parked staggered on both sides. I start to pass the ones on my side when Mr BMW decides he wants precedence and guns it through. He passes me ok so i then go BUT a Trolley Dolly (BA) in an Audi ( small) decides she will do the same, from a further distance back than Mr BMW!!.
So i stopped with enough room for her to pass me, but she stops with her arse at an angle and leaving me with a gap of about 4ft to get a 6f 6 bus through. so i point to the pavement and tell her to get on it so i can pass, meanwhile taffic is backing up behind me, but the oncoming isthoughtfully waiting for me to pass them. She Miss BA startsto waves arms about, and doesnt even wind the window down yet is mouthing something at me and pointing at said pavement.whilst waving me through. I suddenly twig she doesnt want to bump up the very minor edge. As i edge slowly forward f she decides that getting a revamped rear end is a worse option than driving up the kerb.

On A329(M) in the 50 limit roadworks approaching the M$ on slip, i am not allowed in L2 as there is a 6ft 6 width limit
Chap in a BMW sees me in inside lane and guns it in front of me.Tart in Ford Galaxy behind him is coming up the slip and as i am halfway past her, she just breezes out . Luckily nothing in L2 for my escape. And as i look to my left to make sure there was no contact, she had the 1000yd stare.

At the Sainsburys lights A329 southbound the t
t in the Porsche off road C4 ACU tries to pass me and the van behind in the outside lane to cut in behind me, Vanman says no leaving Porky in the right turn lane into Sainsburys. But these lights to Sainsburys turn red, and i roll to a halt in L1 only to see mr prick zoom through at least 3 secs into the red. I think he lives in Landen Close just down from the lights. Perhaps he had a bowel problem.....or a promise!

roundabout near home, i am going round from 12 to go out at 9 indicating left after passing 6 exit. A VERY large transit LWB? with an equally large covered trailer that transports you PAJ. Just comes straight out of 6 ( Its a DC) luckily i wasnt going mental due to traffic that was going down to 6 ( again DC with both lanes exiting) and i achored up with about 5ft to spare before making contact with thr trailer, which could well have flipped over. Not in the bus just the Swedish brick. Driver very kindly waves an apology.
Still if you must have your firms name on the side expect a chat without tea and biscuits tomorrow.
Despite you advertising a racing team, The A3095 is not a track

The plonker in a Merc cabriolet with the roof fine who blatantly stopped in a crossroads to stare at a car crash that had occurred. Not only did you leave me stuck behind you when you stopped, but I also had to sit there while you got a bking from the coppers. Unless you're involved or a medical professional offering help just fking drive on and leave the police to handle it!

Watching this knobhead tailgating, passing vehicles on the nearside and weaving from lane to lane in busy traffic passed a few minutes of my journey on the A12 Brentwood By-pass last Wednesday morning.
It managed to get seven vehicles ahead of me before we all passed it as it slowed in an exit queue a few minutes later.

YG13 KBF, a 335d on trade plates and the knob driving was texting with his smart-phone in his left hand, trying to hide it from other road-users but as a lorryist I can see all the things you car-drivers get up to.
Obviously a 335d doesn't seem to have cruise control either as after overtaking me and pulling into L1, he slowed down and started to weave all over the road. I caught up and started to overtake and gave a blast o' the air-horns, which seemed to do the trick as he thought 'oh, a lorryist is overtaking me, I'd better speed up.'
WG64 KLD, an Audi A4. Another knob texting with his smart-phone in his left hand and this time, as it was a really big smart-phone and his thumb wasn't long enough, he was using his right index finger to select the letters......and he was using his knees to steer!!
I think that A4 did have cruise control though, as he kept a constant speed.
BG54 FUF, a white Ford van. On the motorway and heading into roadworks, where 3 lanes go into 1. In his desperation to get past me, this knob thought that the 800-yard, 600-,400-,200-yard countdown markers didn't apply to him, he simply ran out of road and ploughed into the cones.
I hope you enjoy your broken mirror and headlight, dented bonnet and grille. Knob!
So, just another average day as a lorryist, no doubt tomorrow will bring out more examples of fkwittery on the nations road network.

The balding, middle-aged c*ck who was obviously in a hurry to buy his copy of the guardian before they ran out this morning, almost side-swiping me and the transit behind when entering the local Tesco car park far too fast.
You are not Colin Mcrae, you do not have super-human driving ability, and you drive a Volkswagen up so calm down and try entering corners a little bit slower in future and you won't look like such a monumental ball sack.

As for the last one, it sounds like you left the van out to dry. Irrespective of his stupidity, you could simply have braked to let him across but preferred to see him crash and potentially harm other road users or workmen, too. I think that is pretty knobish.

The absolute cock womble riding a 50cc Moped last night. I thought you were a cock for a couple of reasons.
1. You decided that it was a good idea to drive between traffic at the lights at 30mph, almost brushing door mirrors.
2. Then as the lights were changing to green and cars were pulling away you decided to try to bully your way through them too; which failed spectacularly.
3. You sat staring at another MX bike which was also illegal on the roads whilst the lights went green, and after a toot from me you finally set off.
4. But the crowning glory; is when the lorry pulled out with plenty of space to spare; you decided to race up, with your pathetic little horn/mouse in a bottle on. Then when going round him, nearly fell off, and then nearly hit a car head on.

Posters posting individual car regs are getting as bad as the cycle vigilantes and their cameras. There are websites for this sort of thing, why do we need it on PH. It's not clever and anybody can make up a story and post a reg if they so feel like it 
PH should be better than this.

kwittery on the nations road network'Ord' seems to have missed the "roadworks" and "three lanes into one" bits of the 'mp3manager' post. 800 yards is getting on for half a mile, FFS! If you are too dim, or arrogant, to sort out a safe gap for yourself in lane 1 despite having half a mile in which to do it, you ought not to be driving. Two obvious solutions ~ speed up and safely swap to lane 1 ahead of the lorry (it's unlikely to accelerate to close a gap
) or ease off the accelerator and safely swap to lane 1 somewhere behind the lorry.This is far from a 'car v car' situation where a dual carriageway ends and 'speed matching' occurs to prevent an overtake. Three lanes of traffic into one almost always causes a slowing down of average traffic speed, and is mostly matched to a reduction in the distance between vehicles, so any sudden and unexpected braking by the lorry could cause a ripple of braking behind it, potentially leading to a collision between multiple vehicles, and inconvenience to hundreds, maybe thousands of following drivers while things are cleared away. So no, I'd not expect a lorry driver to slow to accommodate a lousy white van man who's ability was massively exceeded by his ambition. In this case, being the start of a roadworks section, danger to road workers would be unlikely too. They rarely work on the part of the site close to the merge point for this very reason - f
kwits who refuse to drive properly and play nice with the other kids, and consequently get bitten on the arse by their own bad attitude and lack of talent behind the wheel... 
if you knowingly create or permit a situation where another driver has an accident, where you could have done something to avoid the accident (without causing other other accidents) regardless of how the other driver got into that situation, and you do not do so, you are equally culpable in the eyes of the law and your insurance company.
In this situation you cannot say in a conceited fashion "lorry drivers see everything" and then hurl all responsibility (NOT talking blame) at the van driver. The van driver may potentially be ignorant of the law, but his insurer won't be. Lorry driver might expect to see a letter in the post sometime soon.
This indignant, self-impressed and yet ill-informed attitude is not what i'd expect to see on PH. That's what the rest of the world is for!!
