2. Those people who sit in slow traffic queues and leave big gaps in front of them so that by the time they get to the front of the queue they are about 20 cars further back than they would have been if they'd kept a more reasonable gap instead of tempting everyone in the other lanes to fill in the gap in front of them. (This is annoying if you are behind one of these people).
I do this in traffic as it prevents a load of stop-start traffic thus everyone keeps (some) momentum. I guess I must be a 'knob'. Let a slight gap build (within reason) then use that gap as a buffer so you can keep rolling along
Two from yesterday: Knob no.1 pulled out in front of me in Trowbridge, then didn't indicate at ANY roundabouts. After a couple of times, I may have tapped the horn at him for being such a dick. He was also guilty of driving a Citroen Xzara Picasso...
Knob no.2 A303, Exeter bound. Knob in a white C-class decides to overtake a line of traffic, whilst going no more than 60 mph. He (eventually) pulled back in. Later on, he suddenly came bearing into view from behind, I was doing about 75 so he must have doing a touch faster than that. He went to overtake me, and sat just off my flank for ages. I knocked it down to 70 to give him a chance to get by. He eventually did. Then pulled back in, and slowed back down to about 60! Jesus, some people...

Mildly amused at the bloke in the nissan qashqai this morning who helpfully flashed the bus out in traffic. I assume he wasn't familiar with the area because every time the bus stopped due to heavy traffic he then proceeded to whack on his indicators and try and overtake it, getting halfway down the bus before realising it was stopped for traffic not a bus stop. He did this 3 times in the space of a mile.
Had to wonder why he let the thing out in the first place if he was so desperate to get past it!

The knob in the red Audi A4 who deliberately took the wrong lane at the roundabout, in order to jump a couple of cars.
What did they achieve? Absolutely nothing except saving themselves 5 seconds at best, and ending up back where they were before (immediately in front of me). They then turned off approximately 1 mile later. Knob.

approaching M4 from M32 yesterday, three lanes, left goes west, right goes east and one in the middle lane for either.. so the black 1 series is infront of me in the middle lane, isnt indicating left so i assume he is going right and head east.... but hes not sure so starts to slow down.....then slows down further..... then at 15 miles per hour eventually decides that west is a better option.... i can hear brakes locking behind me but darent look i just hope now he hs decided which way to go he proceeds with the required level of enthusiasm.
I didn't know whether to put this in the Bad parking thread or 'knob'.
After careful consideration I decided it lives here.
This knob came zooming around Tesco carpark, nearly wiping out my daughter and I.
Then he parks here, he jumps out of the car with his son and does an almighty flob (spit). Then strolls into Tesco in his muscle man t-shirt.
Utter, utter knob.
I held the stare after he nearly ran us down, but when he got out of the car he was huge. So I dropped the stare. I don't want to be beaten up in front of my daughter.

Why do cyclists feel the need to impossibly weave to the front of a queue and then all line up in front of the first car at every traffic light in london?
I pull away faster than 80% of them (not that I'm going fast, just that the majority are out of shape, middle aged, 'professionals'), so the inconvenience is annoying on its own. But then that they are all there lined up like bowling pins in front of me, just begging me to knock them down, makes the whole thing even more frustrating as i have to force myself resist.

Disabled parking spot in New Malden Tesco. Driver ran into the store.
A lazy knob with piss poor taste in cars.
I read somewhere that sometimes someone may need to park close to the store and have something that does not hinder mobility but is classed as a diability, such as needing to run to the toilet.A lazy knob with piss poor taste in cars.
Never considered it too much to work out if that is bilge or not.
