One single thing that makes you think "knob"

[anonymous-user]

Merging in turn in a traffic queue where a dual carriageway goes down to one lane. Traffic is crawling at a couple of miles an hour, everyone is being nice and polite, no-one's doing the "preventing people jumping the queue" thing, really it's all quite surprising for the rush hour.

I'm in the outside lane with a BMW behind me. After I've merged BMW berk decides he's WAAAAY too important to lose a car length from his journey and he's going to push in front of me. Really not quite sure how he thought that was going to end given there wasn't enough room and he only managed to get alongside me before running out of road. Knob.

Karma's a bh though, he met white van man at the next merge point who practically barged BMW boy off the road to get in front of him.

I chuckled.

Pedestrians who cross the road yet deliberately slow their pace to cause you to brake. Teenage girl did it on Kingstons one way system and the knock-on effect nearly caused an accident.

I drop a couple of gears if I'm in the 911 and give em a scare

Accelerate towards them, they soon pick their pace up again and drop the 'double hard' routine.

Yep.

Works even when slowing, because they think engine noise = speed

Teenagers do this as if to prove they're somehow 'in control'. A pair of very loud airhorns soon proves otherwise, they don't half jump.

Those f*ckwits in India, or where-ever, who have nothing better to do than set up a new e-mail address everyday and send junkmail to millions of people inviting us all to grow bigger manhoods.

It's 2012 FFS. 15 years ago it was sort of funny. If you really must send spam, then at least market something different.

BIG KNOBS the lot of 'em.

So it works then?

The lane discipline on motorways. Rav4 and Mini trundling along in lanes 3 and 4 doing the same speed as me when there's nothing in front of them.

You forgot the bloke taking pictures whilst trundling down the motorway.

I have one on my bicycle... adjustable up to 115db
That surprises the knuckle-dragging salad-dodging benefit-scrounging fuk-wits

Also wakes up the odd office worker who crosses the road before waking-up to look.

The absolute tt at the weekend who almost forced me off the A10 near Downham Market, as he pulled out to overtake a caravan as I was already alongside him! There's a nice stretch about a mile long, dead straight. I gave the guy plenty of time to go for the overtake, nothing happens. So I pull out to pass him and the caravan, get almost completely alongside and THEN he decides to go for it. wker!

You do get some muppets on that road...I'm assuming it is the stretch between Littleport and Downham?

The Lynn Road junction's a pain in the cheeks as well. The number of times I've been sat in the traffic island waiting to turn right off the A10 and see a pillock try to overtake someone as the come round that slight bend (from the main roundabout headed towards King's Lynn). They can see ahead (up the road behind me) and assume it's clear but because of the angle of the bend the traffic island and subsequently anyone waiting is obscured. Especially if it's an HGV, van, caravan or MPV/SUV with paedo' tints they're trying to get past.

Saw a few minutes today and it appears that he gets paid for abusing stupid people in front of an audience.

The Merc R-class I was driving behind yesterday.

The rear lights were on... sort of. The right rear light was on, the left rear fog light was on. When the driver braked, the left rear fog light went off. Interesting electrics, I wish I'd bought one.

The knob in the Ford Galaxy who pulled out of a side road in front of me. I anticipated what they were going to do and immediately overtook the Galaxy as the road ahead was clear. Galaxy driver caught me up and decided they wanted to sit a quarter of an inch off my rear bumper. They then turned off half a mile from the side road they'd pulled out from. I hope you catch an aggressive form of terminal cock rot, you knob.
