Why is L2/L3 the default position for these w
kers?
I was at flank speed on a DC yesterday, spotted someone waiting to leave a petrol station to join so I gave him a flash and moved into Lane 2. What does the cock knocker do? Pull straight into Lane 2. I had to do some fairly decent braking to a avoid him whilst he just sat there, oblivious, slowly accelerating to 30mph....kers?Me.
This morning, waiting to pull out of a junction, looked left, looked right, went to pull out. fk, car there. Luckily no collision and rightfully so, she looked at me with a genuine wtf look. I apologised profusely, and we went on our way, with me calling myself a lot worse than just a knob, and I suspect the woman in the other car was saying similar!

This is where a bonnet mounted anti tank gun would be put to good use.It may have been mentioned in the preceding 300 pages but Kn*bs that ding your car when they open their door or let their little darlings do it.
My wife was in a car park last week and a guy was parking next to her, she stayed in her car as courtesy to let him maneuver. When he got out his car "crack" straight into her car followed by:
"you just dinged my car"
"no I didn't"
"I was sat right here and not only heard it but felt it"
He then popped in his car and drove off again.
only then did a fellow motorist pop over and say he say him do it. Grrr

Technically that's "leaving the scene of a collision" and you should report it. 
It's all about escalation with these situations.
Let them get away with a car park door ding and before you know it they've reversed into someone's car and driven off, knocked a cyclist off and driven off or worse.
People are basically animals and if allowed behavioral flaws will only get worse unless they are addressed. I've been doing a positive enforcement experiment on my cycle commute with some remarkable results.
Okay in the case of a car park door ding the Police will most likely do very little or nothing about it; but with a crime reference number your insurers can pursue the operator of the vehicle to cover any repairs (and their expenses). So a simple apology at the time or taking a moment to respect someone else's property in the first place could cost them hundreds if their "no claims bonus" is invalidated.

The cock in his "sporty" Hyundia hatch back who came flying off the J10 North bound M6 slip road, in the rush hour, with traffic flow control on and proceeded to push everyone out of their lane so he could get to the outside lane 
As he closed in on my passenger door the horn and lights got his attention.
So out came the coffee beans, tailgating and attempted under takes
Soon looked and even bigger cock when the traffic cleared and my M135i disappeared in to the distance

I pucker up and blow a kiss. Nope, he's still shouting, so I blow him another kiss and wink invitingly. Nothing, not even a smile. Maybe I'm just not his type?
Some responses are timeless classics, it's not incendiary like shouting back "What?! I don't speak Polish", it's not inviting escalation like just straight laughing at them.Blowing kisses is definitely one of the better responses and always will be.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "knob" but: those "Baby on Board" stickers and their numerous variations.
A: Why do I care?
B: Do you think that, if you did not have that sticker, other drivers would be flinging themselves into you with suicidal abandon upon the merest sniff of a rugrat being present in your vehicle?
Why do people feel the need to advertise the fact that they have a child in their car?
So that if they crash the emergency services know to look for a child/baby?A: Why do I care?

Nice new Mondeo NM16 reg, who at Junc 17 M4 this morning decided to leave the motorway from the third lane at approx 100mph whilst crossing all lanes and the hatching, forcing a car in the middle lane and lorry in the inside lane to brake heavily, with the obvious escalation backwards.
Can I nominate everyone in this thread who talks about regularly partaking of the "traffic light GP".

It seems that there's some kind of correlation with the amount of sh*t that people talk about cars' performance and the amount they claim to partake...

Ding-not-sorry is one of the things that winds me up no end. I once verbally blasted someone when i watched them ding my door whilst the car was parked at a bodyshop as i was getting a quote to repair door dings... It's all about escalation with these situations.

however... your 'escalation' logic above if extrapolated says we should lock up people for say future rape just because they cast a quick glance at a nice pair of jugs on the train....

I've never seen any stats so I have no idea what they would say or even how they would collect them as most of them go unseen/unpunished.
And I rarely see anyone run actual red lights. Sometimes I'll see someone running an amber light a bit close, but never just driving on through on a red.
So running an amber light is ok?And I rarely see anyone run actual red lights. Sometimes I'll see someone running an amber light a bit close, but never just driving on through on a red.
Where did I say I condone running amber lights?
What I actually said is that I almost never see people running red lights, but sometimes see people running amber lights. Where did I say that I condone running amber lights or that I'd do it myself?
Bloody mouth breathers abound on this site.
PHs really has some thick people kicking around, but just reading it is entertaining.
It's the tangential questions to a valid post that tickle me most.

Aaaanyway...
Brake checking - people who do this are unutterables.
Specifically this morning on one of the B roads on my way into work: VW Polo one car or so in front of me, overtook a slower car in front on a blind bend and then proceeded to brake check it multiple times, to the point where both cars were stationary on the apex of another corner.
I ended up behind said fk-nugget later on and was presented by a car festooned with warnings to tailgaters and notifications regarding "In car recording Equipment", which was evidenced on his windscreen. To be honest he looked like the sort of arrogant, smug prick who probably wouldn't piss on his mum if she was fire.
If I could remember the whole of his reg number I'd shop him.
