In some professions it's the done thing to show you are qualified in that area, or at a certain level. In others, or with more general qualifications it's not so much. I have 4 sets of post nominals I could use but I choose not to.
Most of the letters after your name are SOOOO easy to get (apart from an accredited MBA).It's the titles before the name that are worth displaying.
Cheers,
Lord VBRJ.
When you're on the motorway in lane 2, pull over into lane 1 for a 15-30 second 'gap' before needing to pull back into lane 2 again. You pull over 1. because you should and 2. because someone is behind you waiting to pass (sometimes the type who are scared of lane 3 and never go there, sometimes just because lane 3 is busy too). This car then cruises up and slows down right next to you/takes so long to pass that you have to let off the throttle and slow down before pulling out behind them. FFS! please pay attention and give other drivers a chance!?!?!?

Seriously? I think you are qualifying yourself for this thread with these posts.
Two for the price of one then, innit?
Although I do seriously believe that people obscuring their rearward vision with dangly stuff, covering their number plates and having dangerous protrusions at the rear of their vehicles ARE knobs and worthy of inclusion in this thread.
So there!
Tonight I nominate me. Driving a Chrysler something or other out of Oakland Airport's rental car facility, trying to find my hotel on an unexpectedly wet night; seems the Chrysler has rubbish headlights, I'm on the wrong side of the road, it's late, etc. so I made a number of small blunders which were clearly knobbish. Hopefully daylight will bring better driving...

M418 CAP
Why a Knob?
- Number plate obscured
- Dangerously protruding carrier
The driver of the B7 RS4 in Sprint Blue (with'appliance' white wheels) who thought it appropriate, earlier this afternoon, to drive through Lancing Village/town centre at warp factor 9..... The cock looked like a member of the village people too which gave him 'double knob' status.

head who threw a full McDonalds drink at me today when stuck in traffic in my biz partners Lambo in Albufeira.
Thankfully no damage, and the cops seen him do it so when I left the scene he was sitting in the back of a police car
No surprise that it was a fking Brit too. The number of bad reactions to his car or my own out here I could count on one hand... and every single time its been a Brit. God knows what it is with Brits and jealousy... the portuguese all seem to love decent cars and just want to talk to you about them or get a pic taken in it!

Nissan juke owners, especially the ones who feel it appropriate to drive with all six forward facing lights on the moment the sun sets.
I work in the area of the Nissan factory and i actually think its a condition of employment that all workers must have all lights illuminated on their discounted lease Jukes at all times day or night, foggy or clear.I actaully stop quite a few of them when i get time.
Driving home from work the other day at rush hour
Queue of traffic in opposite lane behind a learner driver waiting to turn right. There's just enough traffic ahead of me to prevent safe crossing so even though I'm turning down the same road as the learner, I prepare to slow and then let them turn as there's a lot of traffic behind me too.
About 4 cars back from the learner there's movement and a tt in a L200 pickup pulls out from the queue and decides to overtake the waiting traffic.
Car in front of me stops obviously to prevent a head on, at which point the learner takes it the opportunity to turn right....fortunately the tt in the L200 manages to stop before t-boning the learner.
The L200 then floors it (still on wrong side of the road) narrowly missing the car stopped in front of me and gets back in the left lane and blasts off down the road.
I'm annoyed that I couldn't get the reg number to report

Possibly me this morning.
Foggy conditions, dual carriageway, I'm in L1 approaching a lorry so check my mirror, check my blind spot, indicate and start to move, check blind spot again only for a black Tigra to be there with no lights on. So pull back in and get given the finger and horn as Tigra passes. Guess its my fault as I should have seen the car, but foggy conditions with no lights in a black car, didn't help situations.

With the roof down on a spyder that could cause a right sticky mess, did you manage to speak to the fool and ask him why? head who threw a full McDonalds drink at me today when stuck in traffic in my biz partners Lambo in Albufeira.

Very strange driving from a young guy in a black fiesta zetec a few days ago in bexleyheath. He had some kind of performance stickers on the side and you'd assume he'd be the type to drive quickly, but instead he drove like a 90 year old.
He started off by straddling two lanes at the traffic lights, then almost pulled into the side of me as I went past. I decided to hang back, and when the lights went green he drove into the wrong lane, so I slowed down to let him out. After flashing about 5 times and shouting he eventually got the message that I was letting him in, then proceeded to drive incredibly slowly and brake so hard for the roundabout that I thought he was brake testing me. Judging by his bewildered look at I passed him, I think he genuinely thought he needed to brake that hard for the roundabout.
Guessing his name was joe, as he had the plate MX04 JOE on his car. It looked very clean and well cared for so he's clearly into his cars, but doesn't have a clue how to drive.

I got stuck behind someone similar...back road late at night so pretty dark...he almost came to a stop every time a car passed in the opposite direction. Braked if the wind blew the bushes and then almost failed to negotiate a turn onto a main road. He was definitely under the influence of something but it was making him an overly cautious driver as a pose to dangerous!
