Not sure whether this is the correct thread or not but saw a woman driving up the A1 yesterday with no plates on front or rear and nothing displaying in the windscreen either, did think that there's never a policeman around when you need one.
Maybe a camera will get her.

Wow, bit of Audi bashing on PH, that's original 
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?
It doesn't bother me in the slightest to be honest - I just find it amusing that since Top Gear announced that the 'cocks' had switched from BMW to Audi, that concept becomes PH gospel

Blue badge holders who dont apply common sense before parking, yes I know you have the right to park on double yellows but the double yellow lines are there for a reason...
Perhaps Blue Badges are issued for reasons other than physical disability nowadays?The incident I saw was a car parked at a t-junction which meant anyone approaching the parked car from behind wanting to turn left and join the main road had to take a position alongside the parked car, facing oncoming traffic, which would then block traffic in every direction...
One dim-witted Blue Badge holder parked one's car here, as shown by the area marked in black.
If the driver of the coach (positioned where the Mercedes is in the picture) had actually stopped to give way to me driving my beloved double-decker bus up the hill (Bridge Street, Northampton) we could have brought the whole of the town centre (on a busy Saturday) to a grinding halt within a few minutes.
The car was not there on my next trip (on a Heritage Weekend free bus service); perhaps my report to the traffic warden who watched me struggle past another dim-witted Blue Badge holder's car elsewhere a few minutes later may have had an effect.

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!"
Wow, bit of Audi bashing on PH, that's original The limit is for everybody,not "everybody apart from tits with 4 circles on their front!"
If he was in a BMW I would have said "The limit is for everybody,not "everybody apart from tits with blue & white roundels on their front" Personally,I have nothing against Audis if they arent driven by tits,same as any other marque 
...
ETA another one.
Coming back from a nice run out/lunch today,on the A1 with about 5 HGVs in a slow convoy on a single carriageway with lots of cars stuck behind, what happens when we get to the d/c? Of course!lorry No 2 in the queue pulls out right away & begins the inevitable elephant race, so no bugger can get past
By the time the lorries have sorted themselves out and I finally get to make some progress(behind a very nice sounding Vantage
) some fool in a foreign registered VW van pulls out in front of the Aston & slows us right down againEdited by kowalski655 on Tuesday 29th April 17:40
Anyone seen the new Kit Kat advert - Where a BMW is being chased by a police car, and then they all stop to have a 'break' before resuming the chase??
Well, during my daily business i have the absolute displeasure of dealing with a weapons grade Knob...
Utterly arrogant, rude, completely oblivious and inconsiderate to rules that apply to others and very nasty and violent.....
Anyway, i thought the guy was a decorator (he is) but a colleague pointed out to me that he is 'The passenger in the silver BMW' (the guy without the beard) in the aforementioned advert - and its true....
I'm wondering if such minor, mediocre bit part acting can result in an ego inflation to large that its responsible for him being a prize F@#ktard - or if he was just born that way?

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?
There was a time when people were having such vehicles as a company car as the BIK on a commercial was very low - iirc, a 20% tax payer would only pay £600 per year in BIK.
Other than that, I agree with your sentiments
The knob who thought the best place to overtake several cars would be uphill, on a blind bend that proceed a blind crest 
He missed a head on collision with a Sprinter van by the skin of his teeth, and the swerving and panic breaking that ensued meant he nearly took out the car at the front of the queue 
Easily the most dangerous and careless piece of driving I've witnessed for along time.

Sat waiting to enter a roundabout, he decided that the best course of action at that particular moment was to look me right in the eye, floor it, and roar onto the roundabout in front of me, causing me to emergency brake. Then he drove off, laughing.
Stupid f
king knob-head, stupid gelled hair, stupid short sleeved shirt, and stupid reinforcement of the negative BMW driver stereotype. As it was, he'd no need to do any such thing. The road behind me was COMPLETELY FKING EMPTY and he could/should have easily seen that. Fortunately, both for his physical safety, and my clean criminal record, I had my wife in the car and I was headed in a different direction at the next roundabout. Never have I wanted to wring some fkers neck more than his. More for the finding it funny, than for the pulling out ahead of me, to be honest.

Normally i would put it out of my mind but as it was local Plod from Thames Valley ( Bracknell) driving OU62 HLP, NOT indicating at three sucessive roundabouts, when there was plenty of traffic around who would have benefitted from a signal, must take my Knob of the Day award
For those of you who dont know Wokingham.
There is a Level Crossing and a road runs parallel to the railway to form a T junction at thecrossing, this in turn is a mini roundabout. I am on the 'parallel road and have right of way to turn right over those who have to cross over the crossing.
Ever vigilant on approaching to mini rbt i notice that the wigwags have started, so whilst the traffic to MY right stops to keep the rndbt clear, it is worth knowing that when the wigwags are on, you can just get around and do a right turn without worrying abou the brain dead who do not realise what GIVE WAY TO THE RIGHT actually means, many times i have had some cretin just steam over and nearly take my front off whilst i am on the rndbt. however, the wigwags are on, but barriers still up, just as i get onto the roundabout some tt,who has aleady jumped the lights, decideds h has right of way.
An Audi Driver !!!!!!!! well who would have thought?

I've driven that way three times recently. On every occasion, the barriers have been down and traffic stopped, so I've avoided the problem you describe. I'll bear it in mind for next time though, and be more cautious at that roundabout.
