Last night on the way home from dropping my mate off after the BMC classic mini run appears a chavved up corsa with foglights and booming bass...I was doing around 40 on a 30 so quite comfortable and then he decides to get about 2ft away from my bumper. I slow right down, drop it into 2nd and we do 10mph for a good half mile with him no doubt fuming then I dropped to first, went even slower, flipped him the birdie and shoot off at a speed he can only dream of. I was a knob too but he was the main knob.
The moral of the story is chavs are knobs.

People who jump level crossing wig-wags on red.
I've just moved near one and when I'm out on my bike and get held up by it, the sheer number of people who still jump them is amazing.
I have more sympathy with people who see the amber light come on and don't fancy a 10 minute delay for a train, but the one near me is crazy, I've seen people jumping it a good 30 seconds after the red lights come on, and even as the barriers are descending (it's a manned level crossing, not an AHB jobbie).
Knobs.

With the recent warm weather men who have to drive with the window down holding onto the roof of their car with their right hand. Tossers. Usually on the motorway too.

People who press the button of a crossing when I am the only car on the road.
People who won't drink water, and have to have juice or that teeth rotting rat piss poison that is cola.

The Don of Croy said: Actually (and I'm no cyclist activist) the current fixation with cars passing cyclists 'at all times and especially on corners / blind crests' is starting to really alarm me...
Barely a car journey goes by without witnessing another car blithely wandering into the opposite lane - without signals - in order to pass the pedalist, but usually on a bend when I'm coming the other way.
That's a KNOB. Indeed it is. Cyclists can also be right knobs too though. My route home from work includes a well used cycle lane in the first stretch, with a two traffic light controlled junction with left hand turns. Most days when I finish work at 5, cyclists will try and go straight ahead when the car in front is indicating to the left. Cyclist usually slams brakes on as car pulls out, doing what it has been singalling and intending to do for the past two minutes. Usually ends up with the knob cyclist hammering the front brake and doing a stoppy before shouting and waving a fist. I usually think 'should have looked in the mirror' when the car pulls away, but cyclists often use the cycle lane to filter past standing traffic and then cut out at the last minute trying to go straight ahead, thinking they're going fast enough (it's downhill) to beat the car turning out the junction. Mugs.

Holidaymakers who pack their MPV's with so much crap that they can't see out of half the rear windows and barrel along at stupid speeds with their kids on board.

You know it costs them money when you do that? If it's not their express content which you're using it's... bandwidth at the least. Now, if you hotlink to images hosted by the Daily Mail, that's all well and dandy, but hotlinking to a site that is on a scale where they can get away with lemonparty is the height of impropriety.

Cock Womble 7 said: The idiot in the Fiat Somethingorother on the M1 northbound this morning, through the 50mph SPEC'd roadworks between Luton and MK.
Oblivious to a polite flash of the headlights in an "Excuse me old bean, would you mind pulling over into lane 1 so I can be on my merry way?" kind of way.
Totally immune to a longer, more insistent flash in a "Seriously, my good fellow, I really would like to get past and you are rather holding things up somewhat" kind of way.
And when, subsequently, four lorries decided that they'd had enough and passed him on the inside, he still believed that doing 45mph in the middle lane was the right and proper thing to do.
Knob. Two things spring to mind here. Firstly have you considered the possibility that an "indicated 50mph" in his vehicle and your vehicle are likely different real speeds and that if his was reading low and yours reading high then this is entirely excusable in that godforsaken stretch of permanent roadworks and secondly is not the aforementioned godforsaken stretch of roadworks signposted as to forbid the changing of lanes in the "average speed" zone?

The girl who jogged across the road in front of me, made eye contact with me as she approached the middle of the road, realised I was quite close, then slowed down to a gentle stroll to finish her crossing.
That angered me for the sheer stupidity and insolence of the gesture, but that was quickly replaced by me being glad I had to jam the anchors on as she had a very nice bottom I could look at for a few more seconds.
Oh, and the same stretch of road a few days earlier, when Mr & Mrs Chav crossed the road in front of me having got their kebabs from the kebab van, and also jogged across the road, made eye contact with me, realised I was quite close, then slowed down at the middle of the road.
Its as if these morons enjoy it, knowing that I'll slow down for them.

The drivers are too busy avoiding his dog to notice him and if there's a collision he has injury shysters 4U on speed dial.

Mugs. From the way you've described that situation it's the car drivers that are knobs for turning across the cycle lane without checking. The cyclists are doing nothing wrong.

Cyclists who think speed limits don't apply to them. (especially prevalent in Richmond Park where they'll also overtake at any cost and on either side)

I am fully aware that an indicated 50mph on the Fiat may translate to an actual 45mph and that an indicated 50mph on my lorry will translate to an actual 50mph. This does not excuse stubbornly sitting in the middle lane when it is clear there are other vehicles who wish to get past. HairbearTE said: secondly is not the aforementioned godforsaken stretch of roadworks signposted as to forbid the changing of lanes in the "average speed" zone? No, it's not. There are no "stay in lane" signs; normal rules apply.
