Cocktards trying to race others on the public road.
Like the utter f
king cocktard who's life is obviously so unfulfilling and ste that he/she/it feels the need to race a french shopping trolley on a wet public road, blindly following during a couple of overtakes and I hope they felt fking proud during the last overtake, somehow managing to nearly collide with said french shopping trolley, the car the shopping trolley was overtaking and oncoming traffic (despite said trolley leaving room for the latter two). Still, better tailgate the car in front afterwards cos you can't drive for stE! fk OFF! KNOB! 
In hindsight, a good argument to pull over and let such cocktards past but jeez, that was special even by middle east standards!

Tit in the Audi up my bumper & flashing lights as I overtook a slower car & was leaving room for cars to filter from the on ramp. All because I was keeping to the 50 limit. Too slow for him obviously but I knew plod had been around that bit of road,so no way was I going faster!
The limit is for everybody,not "everybody apart from tits with 4 circles on their front!"

Two knobs this week. And both were wannabe gangsters, innit bruv?
Gangster No 1: Angel Edmonton Road heading east from Tottenham. The route was jam packed as it was a Friday. Lights at one of the junctions were not phasing correctly, hence even more congestion and confusion. Despite this, most people were being sensible and patient. But then Fifty Cent and his "homies"arrived on the scene in a chavved up black Astra, complete with paedo tints and the largest subwoofers in the known universe
Cue much tooting of horn, light flashing and engine revving as he attempted to bully his way through the congestion. As the traffic thinned out closer to the North Circular he got so close to my rear bumper I could almost see what brand of sunglasses he was wearing. He then undertook me, nearly colliding with a bike courier, before swerving back in at the last minute, nearly taking off my offside wing. And for all that effort, rage and stress, he gained about 50 feet.
Gangster No 2: Coming off the M1 and joining the A 421 to Bedford. as seen here. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.0257712,-0.60373... The left hand lane is for Milton Keynes, the other lanes are for Bedford. Everything was going swimmingly, until I see a Range Rover Overfinch - massive bling rims,, illegal tints even more massive stereo - come flying up around the roundabout (he's in the far right lane). Then, as the lights change, he decides he REEEEALY needs to go to Milton Keynes, so cuts across two lanes of traffic attempting to turn right, somehow avoiding a huge accident. At this point the traffic to Milton Keynes is backed up, but rather than wait his turn, he decides to drive on the wrong side of the road for about 10 car lengths and bully his way in. You sir, are a stupid, selfish tt.

t.White van man on the phone who didn't even slow down for a roundabout, in fact sped up, pulled right in front of me and covered me in a cloud of diesel smoke as he accelerated harder.
A couple of roundabouts later, woman in a Zafira pulled out in front even though there was queuing traffic meaning she blocked it, making me and the cars behind me stop, which blocked the exit behind, I couldn't see any further behind but I imagine the rest of the quite big roundabout was at a standstill all because of one idiot.
I hate Friday rush hour traffic
One today, on a dual carriageway overtaking some slow traffic who were going at about 60, a middle aged man in a Corsa then pulls into the outside lane, at 60, slows down a bit, stays in the outside lane for a couple of minutes going about 55 and pulls back into the inside lane.
I don't know if he was trying to slow people going at the speed limit down on purpose or if he was just a crap driver, possibly both.

I suspect he is a serious Road Captain who dislikes all you flashy gits queue-jumping in lane 2...I don't know if he was trying to slow people going at the speed limit down on purpose or if he was just a crap driver, possibly both.
Driving along this afternoon, cars parked on both side of a road. I see a car coming towards me and as there is spaces to pass just in front I stop and flash him through. The car just stops about 50yds ahead and looks at me; I flash again with a 'come forward' gesture. Nothing; he still just looks at me. One last time I try but again no reaction.
Thinking there must be space next to him I drive up thinking I can go round, as I pull up to his car there is no space to go around and he starts raising his hands mouthing 'what are you doing'.
As it happened the prk was a private taxi driver picking someone up. Not so much bad driving but bad manners. Would this knob have been so put out by putting and indicator on or his hazards just to let others know he was stopping!
What a bellend.

Dufus in a Ford Focus yesterday driving up Loxley Road (30 limit) at 20 MPH. Finally came to a clear enough stretch of road to overtake and got a constant blare of his horn for daring to do do. My car has a horn too as you discovered!
Either learn to drive, get your car fixed or accept, if you are going to go slow that people will want to get past you and chill out

Prize for knob of the day yesterday goes to the boy driving an orange Clio 172/182 at what must have been way over the 40 posted limit on a quite twisty country road, through the road works, on my side of the road having skipped the lights! (I was the only car, and just pulled away from the light and turned a right hand bend to be confronted by him!).
Knob!
Knob!

Admit it, it was you wasn't it? 
Seriously though, like it or not certain Audi drivers don't do themselves many favors sometimes - in fact in my previous post, the first shocking bit of driving I saw since returning from the middle east, the car trying to race me was an Audi!
But really, assuming you're a normal, courteous driver I can't see why you'd be bothered about it?

Agree but why VAT dodging? was it a advertising his trade on the side?
Why not? As far as I can tell, most of the 'tradesmen' who buy these monstrosities don't actually need one, but are simply avoiding VAT on what is effectively their car. Or has that loophole been closed?Anyway. It was just another (clean/non sweary/stereotype bashing) insult to throw in to colour the rant. In reality, I have no way of telling what his tax status is
All I know is that, if he'd stayed out of the roundabout until traffic moved forward in the queue, then he wouldn't have blocked the roundabout, he wouldn't have cost himself, and everyone else, around five minutes in a mini gridlock, and my son wouldn't have missed his direct train. As it was my lad ended up having to travel to Woking (the opposite direction) to get onto a train for Portsmouth.
Ultimately, his idiotic attempt at pushing forward wouldn't have got him through the lights any quicker, even if he'd cleared the roundabout. So why bother? All he did was cause himself to be delayed. I imagine that's the very last thing an impatient driver is trying to achieve, no?

Agree, but I was asking a Genuine question. I thought they closed the VAT loop hole on these big cab pickups or am I mis-remembering?Anyway. It was just another (clean/non sweary/stereotype bashing) insult to throw in to colour the rant. In reality, I have no way of telling what his tax status is

I've no idea, to be honest. Like I said, he pissed me off, along with thirty or more other carloads of people. I just needed a rant when I got home, is all. yellowjack said:

I'll nominate myself, guy in a Focus and non-existent road markings. Busy carpark Saturday and I'm trying to find a space, I reach a junction and see a space to my right, so indicate and turn right only for an oncoming Focus to swerve into the middle of the road. He then gestures at me to reverse, but obviously didn't see cars behind me. We both sit there for a while and eventually he pulls back over and drives to the side of me, winds down the window and is raging at me, "Its a one way you f**king moron, move out the f**cking way". I carry on driving and then see the one way arrow further up the road. So, I was wrong but there were no one way signs anywhere at the junction and the road is plenty wide enough, so easy mistake. No need to swear like that though when I had my wife and 2 kids in car. Clearly I wasn't the only person to make this mistake, judging by the amount of cars going both way round the carpark.
