One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 3
Discussion
The Darwin Award nominee on the BMW sports bike who was filtering as if his life depended on it on this evening's A1M.
He tried to bully hi way past me, even though I was trying to move over to let him through.c Gave me a Wtf? gesture as well. He then tried the same on a Corsa in front of me and blasted through a tiny gap, nearly clipping the nearside wing mirror. He then did one of the most t
ttish things I've ever seen; at 70 mph, he swerved in front of the Corsa and executed a brake check!!!!!!
Utter, utter knob!

At 70mph I'd suggest that that isn't "filtering" but "overtaking" and if he's not properly changing lanes to do it, but instead "lane splitting" between cars in adjacent lanes, then he's committing the offence of "dangerous driving" as well. Especially with the 'cherry-on-the-top' brake check at the end...He tried to bully hi way past me, even though I was trying to move over to let him through.c Gave me a Wtf? gesture as well.

Were you doing 65, or were they? If it was them, 65 in a 70 is not slow. If it was you FLB.f
king lazy bds.Driving behind a 1 series on a dual carriage way, it was a bit swervy, as I went past I had a look in, their head kept bobbing down toward the centre of the dash, pretty sure they were having a chat on Bluetooth but think they thought their vent was where they should talk in to, like a massive microphone
Joining the M4 west bound J19 all the way to the M5 junction 16 southbound an utter knob was the brushing his hair. Rear view mirror leaning style....
Doesn't sound too bad if he is driving sensibly. Why so irate - he was inches from a van in front. Continually braking to keep his minimal distance in busy traffic and weaving all over the lane.
Thats nearly 10 miles of pissing around with his hair! Sigh.... why.

Five in the morning on the A10 from King's Lynn to the A134 roundabout. Mostly fellow commuters who should have worked harder at school and sugarbeet trucks this time of year. It's a 40 zone through the villages of West Winch and Setchey.
Knob 1/ TDI VW Passat with blacked painted rear window and tail lights with the ubiquitous after market HiD's and DRL. The HiD's looked like they were on full beam because of the condensation on the lenses. The occupant of this vehicle decided to try to out drag me from the Hardwick roundabout to the turn off for the A10 but wheel span so much I could have walked away quicker. Still needed to do an emergency stop behind me to avoid running into the back of my car as I was doing 40. Then sat a few inches from the back of my car for a couple of hundred feet revving the engine loud enough for me to hear it above mine. This 5:06am in a populated area you feckless little twunt! Then decided to overtake in a could of EGR bypassed smoke and was gone. No longer my problem.
Knob 2/ Fully liveried up works van caught up to me still doing 40 in a 40 zone. Sat a few feet from my back bumper for a long straight with no traffic. Then decided to overtake on a bend as a car was pulling out of a junction further ahead. I had to brake so the van could cut across before hitting the car head on.
Both the Passat and the van were at the A134 roundabout when I got there stuck behind a tractor.
Both went along the A10 towards Downham and I took the A134 to Thetford.

The locals up your way are certifiable nutters. The fastest I have even been as a passenger in a car in the U.K. was near you...thankfully he was a skilled driver, but I was glad to get out at the station.Knob 1/ TDI VW Passat with blacked painted rear window and tail lights with the ubiquitous after market HiD's and DRL.

What that rider did, and sadly what I see more and more, is a completely selfish, reckless and entitled behavior that will probably end in tears for all concerned.
Watching a yellow Ibiza drive from Queensferry to Menai Bridge driver was on his mobile all the way, don't think he was talking but playing a game using Facebook, also had a headlight out, that and drifting between lanes.
Why is there never a Police car around, 40 miles or so on the phone.

Trying to get a day policy so I can take a car oop North and bring another car darn sarf.
One minute online quote but twenty minutes filling in the same forms six times because their computers can't read only to end up unable to process my card because it can't read that either!
Sky Insurance need to come down to Earth and fix your useless servers.

useless servers.Just general stuff this morning, roads are busy but not rammed, everything is moving, but because there is no lane discipline a huge line of cars are stuck behind a van thats doing 40-45 in a 50 in the outside lane.
And then later on same again but 60-70 on the M11. Just move over and everyone can make progress.

Some window licker crawling at approximately 9mph in a 30, coming to pretty much a standstill over a speed bump. Looking through his wing mirror it was clear he was looking in every direction bar directly in front.
Once we entered the NSL section I over took him only to find him waving and shouting at me. As I swiftly approached 60mph I checked my rear view only to find his brown Honda Civis glued to my rear bumper, while his stupid little face made all manner of shapes along with the ever-waving arm still hanging out of his window.

After 3 pages it was only ever going to degenerate to this:...I thought people this stupid only existed in folklore.
"There really are some assholes on the pistonheads forums. Read the post again and then go somewhere else to be a prick.
Never mind track days, I have raced bikes, MX, karts, cars, rallys, sprints, hillclimbs and even autotests and a lot of number 1 plates and trophies along the way over the last 30 years.
Stick a post up about a run in with an M3 and experts comment on my ability and intelligence, take it for what it is, a post on an internet forum and don't try to make enemies of people you don't know."

I gave him a flash or two of high beam to remind him that it might be an idea to switch the headlights on. The response was a flash of his high beam - only the offside one worked.
I wonder if he's any relation to the chap in a Punto the other day who's nearside tail and brake lamps were not functioning. No central brake light, and no number plate lamps either.
I'm convinced that RVLR infringements aren't the only offences these numpties will be committing, so why, oh why, don't the police have a massive nationwide crackdown on roadworthiness offences? We'd see far fewer failed lights for a start,and goodness only knows how many MOT, VED and insurance offences they would detect at the same time. Have a couple of crackdowns a few months apart and idiots would soon get the idea that you very much DO need to take a proactive approach to keeping your car fit for the road. Leaving such things to MOT time just isn't on.
