One single thing that makes you think "knob"
Discussion
People in tiny old s
t boxes that insist on charging at you between passing places on single track lanes. In this case a kmobess in an L reg 'fade red' micra - her whole nearside was in a hedge and she couldn't squeeze past me telling me to go into the hedge also. I told her to get fked and to reverse as I value the paint more than her time!
This time was in my car but it's hilarious when driving a coach through lanes and about 10 cars play follow the leader and have to go back! :-)

The white van man this morning, left hooked a cyclist so badly the cyclist hit the van and actually got moved into the junction the van was turning into. The cyclist looked very shook up, he was one of those nice ones who respect car drivers and stop at red lights too. Was the worst driving I have seen in a while.

On an equal level of cocksocketry, those people that come to a near halt from 30/40mph to let someone out of a side junction thus causing a concertina effect for everyone following and bringing everything to a standstill. Doubly annoying when you're the person immediately behind them and there is nothing behind you for miles so they could've easily pulled out after you've gone past. If you are someone that does this then you a KNOB of the highest order. iPlod999 said:

I promise you. I would touch her with any of your barge poles. Disclaimer - you're on your own if you get arrested for this
I've just been a bit sick in my mouth.
She is constantly bemaoning her single status, while basing her entire social life round her church.
On my trip to work, there's a T junction with traffic lights. There's a five yard box junction directly in front of the traffic lights and an induction loop in the ground before the box junction.
I nominate the two wkers sitting in front of me at the traffic lights this morning. Knob number one decided to park in the box junction. You're not going to trigger the induction loop sitting there, are you?
Knob number two left a car's length between the front of her car and the box junction. Again, you're not going to trigger the fking induction loop there.
Four minutes sitting slipping her clutch later, knob 2 moves onto the induction loop, and we're off.
Four minutes. At one set of traffic lights. Yes, no doubt some of you would have got out and told her to move her fking car, I know from bitter experience it isn't worth it.

Funnily enough, the woman at work who is majorly in to these books is also utterly plain.

Conversely my friend's extremely hot wife keeps posting pictures and comments on facebook relating to how she wants a 'mr grey'.....my mate is presumably too stupid to gag and hog tie her (I'm just guessing that's what goes on in these books from the zeitgeist as I've no inclination to read them).She is constantly bemaoning her single status, while basing her entire social life round her church.
I was driving Dads car earlier at the speed limit and following the Road Traffic Act to the best of my abilities when I was caught up by a ropy looking Citroen Xara (VTR or VTS) with aftermarket headlights. After a couple of failed overtake attempts (I'm still doing 30 in a 30 zone) the driver sits about a foot from my dads back bumper for a good few miles. I needed to take the next right so I checked the pillock was still there, signaled and noticed a tractor and beet harvester was waiting to turn out. I flashed the headlights to let the agricultural convoy out ahead of me. Ideal timing for the Xara to be stuck behind for the next sequence of bends ahead. After I turned right the MPV behind me flashed their lights waved and put both thumbs up, barely able to drive in a straight line as they were laughing so much.
I'll nominate myself today. Was sitting on the inside lane of the M25. Lorry ahead on my right. Rapidly approaching a slow moving Mercedes MPV in my lane. The speed differential was silly, to the point that I was going to blow my horn at the Mercedes, before I thought what is the point? Instead I maintained speed, jusged that there would be enough space between the lorry and the MPV, and slipped into lane 2 to overtake. The lorry driver flashed me as I did this, obviously upset, but I pre-judged it and made good calculations, and I was not sitting at 45mph until my exit (about 600 yards up the road).

Given that the lorry was in front of you and on your o/s, then yes, knob x4. Knob #1 for driving so slow that lorries overtake you, knob #2 for undertaking a truck, knob #3 for getting in his n/s blind spot and then knob #4 for pulling out in front of him with no sufficient gap/space to do so. Was I a knob?

Something like this, then

You can -2 of those knobs. The lorry was not overtaking me, he was overtaking the MPV (except he wasnt closing the gap)! And I was not in his blind spot, I judged this from quite a ways back and then decided what action to take. I would never sit in a lorry blind spot. Also, I felt i left sufficient space to pull out.And I wasnt undertaking the truck, I was overtaking the MPV! It would have been far more dangerous to go out into lane three to go round the truck and MPV IMO.
Anyway, i'm now arguing with myself, as I nominated myself for this...

Biggest knob I ever encountered was a 'chap' in a Metro that pulled out of the local garage and then crawled along at 40 and when we got to the dual carrageway proceeded to drive on the right hand side to stop me overtaking (as I refuse to undertake) then varied his speed from 30 to 50 knowing I had no chance of overtake.
Must have given his ego some great boost or he was trying to impress the 6yr old boy on board.

The guy in the v5 golf going up the a9 today, so much shopping piled up there was no rearward visibility. I sat behind him for ages at 75, yes speeding, then realised the cars in the inside lane were going quicker.
He wasn't catching anyone. He was going slower.
I joined in with the inside lane posse.
Knob.
