One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 2
Discussion
Saw a very bad piece of driving last night at the south end of the A329.it is a 50 limit at the Coppid beech slip road and the next roundabout has a 'slip filter road ' for those carrying on the A329. Anyway I join and check mirrors to get in the th to use the about,I am doing 50ish and make sure I have no traffic close behind on the A329. Suddenly this Zafira appears doing well over 70 and swings over to cut the guy in the inside lane to pass neon the inside,cuts right in front of me and then neatly takes out a chaps front on the onside lane as he about slip road,Stoll found well over the limit
the other brain dead one I got,this time on the A329M was the one who saw me coming up the on slip, I am waiting for him to pass,and I am not indicating, the starts to slow to match my speed, I slow to let him go,he slows again, this happened twice more ,and he nearly ground to a halt despite me waving him on. The cars behind him see not pleads. In the end I just booted it and went in front of him.

Sorry but I don't understand half of that.the other brain dead one I got,this time on the A329M was the one who saw me coming up the on slip, I am waiting for him to pass,and I am not indicating, the starts to slow to match my speed, I slow to let him go,he slows again, this happened twice more ,and he nearly ground to a halt despite me waving him on.

"The car behind him see not pleads" ??
The brain dead b
h that pulled up on a single lane NSL A road,yet not 5 feet from a layby,why? To adjust her sodding sat nav! Way to cause a real hazard there dear! I hope your sat nave gets you lost and drives you into a river!
Thewindow cleaner who parked their 4x4 half on the pavement,half on DYLs on another main road through a small village,blocking it. They may have heard me say "What idiot left that POS there?" as I drove past
The convoy of antique tractors going through a busy village at 3(yes,THREE!!!!) miles per hour!

It would be better if some of our BBC licence money could be put into 'public information adverts'.
The theme could be 'don't be a tt' and they could cover the obvious things like
Don't pull out on people when there isn't really room to do it.
How to use a roundabout.
Indicators - the forgotten way of the zen driver.
Why you were a road victim, after being a tt and giving coffee beans instead of saying sorry.
A mirror is for lifelong driving, not just for parking badly in supermarkets.
What do those white lines actually mean?
Yes, the rules apply to anyone, even you when you are in a hurry.
Much better use of public money than some of the other st the MPs come up with.

You probably could of worked that out yourself though...

The tt in front of me, in a black Corolla, who pulled out straight in front of a cyclist on a roundabout in Newbury this morning. The cyclist looked irate, quite rightly, but was never going to catch up to have a word. So I waved at the bloke in the car whilst alongside at the lights to tell him (I was in the 7) and he refused to listen but compounded the matter by mouthing 'I didn't see him' through the closed window before finally cutting right across my lane as the lights went green. Driving test resit needed.

Does this appendage actually fulfil some useful function or is it the epitome of knobbishness?
Does seem to coordinate with the crappy number plate, though!
Saw that on the A27 Chi to Havant today but going the other way. I thought it was some sort of Poseidon inspired toy, did not realise it was an attachment.Does seem to coordinate with the crappy number plate, though!
The tatty Fiesta driver who drove himself and his family in to the middle of the youngdriver session on top of West Quay today.
He must have moved several cones and tapes to gain access,he could have caused a very nasty incident.
You sir are a complete and utter fkwit of the highest order, seriously what the titty fking christ did you think it was all coned off for ?? fking moronic .

Try as the residents might to keep the kids out of the road , it doesn't work as that's where they like to play.
I'm considering grabbing the next speedy one and breaking their face.

Guy in the brand new Transit in Rotherham today who nearly pushed me off the road after deciding he wanted to use both lanes going across the roundabout. Not content with nearly causing an accident but after I honked the horn (To let him know I was there, not to vent my anger) he then follows me side by side along the dual carriageway nearly frothing at the mouth and screaming while making every hand gesture possible. I wouldn't mind if it was my fault but I did nothing wrong

Apart, that is, from being alongside another vehicle on a roundabout?
The cretin in Ford MV56 UCW that went to great lengths to ensure I couldn't pull out from Lane 1 to overtake a car and trailer in Lane 1. There was no-one approaching from behind in Lane 3 (I checked the video later to confirm); he was either too thick or too bloody-minded to move over for me. I had been signalling for a while (perhaps that was my mistake) and had pulled towards the right of my lane.
After I had needed to slow considerably, to pass behind him into Lane 3 he did no more than pull out behind me and increased his speed to keep up. For a while!
He then stayed in Lane 3 until after I had eventually taken the left-hand exit (signed above).
Knob!
Black BMW X5 (what else?) that decided to cut across my front on a roundabout this morning...
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.315582,-0.743976...
He was in the left lane, clearly labelled "FRIM" and arrowed to instruct him to leave the roundabout from that lane. I was in the "A325 (s) & FRIM" lane which gave me the option of next exit into Frimley (which I was signalling left for) OR going south toward Farnborough on the A325. Mr X5 wasn't even indicating right. If he had been, I could have planned for his (possibly her - illegal tints on the front windows!) stupidity, and made extra allowances. Luckily I was wide awake, and don't make a habit of getting alongside/overtaking on roundabouts. If he/she had met another version of themselves, there may well have been a road (or lane) closure, on the main route to/from the M3 motorway for emergency ambulances.
Oh, and I wanted Frimley, so had to brake fairly strongly to prevent a collision as he/she presented his/her ttmobile broadside on across my bow.
FFS, the amount of white paint on that roundabout (because too many idiots have no clue how to use it properly) is ridiculous, but means that there should be absolutely no excuse for getting it wrong. And if it's a genuine mistake because you're not local, and a bit lost? fking suck it up, take the exit required by the lane you are in, then turn round when it's safe and legal so to do. I can assure you that unless you have neon stripes and disco lights on your car, you are NOT important enough to inflict your idiocy onto other road users.

I can assure you that unless you have neon stripes and disco lights on your car, you are NOT important enough to inflict your idiocy onto other road users. The stupid bint in the black BMW 1 series! Where you pull out of my estate it just turns from a 60 to a 30 round a blind corner about 100m from my junction,so safe to say I always treat it as a stop sign instead of a give way.
Taking wee man to park the other day and pull out safely,as soon as I've straightened I notice a car flying up behind me so I quickly get to 30 and she sits up my backside. She follows me all the way to the park (tailgating in the process) and then drives off when I get out! Only reason I can think of is she must of thought I was a woman and was going to have a go at me! Didn't do anything wrong,she shouldn't have been flying into a 30 at 50+!
Safe to say I took her reg and phoned 101. Doubt anything will happen but can only hope, what if that had been my wife? would the bawbag have gotten out and confronted her with my child in the back? Scary stuff!

Apart, that is, from being alongside another vehicle on a roundabout?the man in a black bmw 3 series with an m badge on the back, who parked in the only parent bay, outside the co-op in Riddlesden, Kly at about 2.30 sun pm.
yes you had yr sprog in the car: but you also had yr minging wife who was the only person getting out of the car to buy something.
the car park was virtually empty, but clearly its impossible for yr wife to walk an extra 5 yards from any of the other bays.
the idea of these bays is to help parents struggling with their children in/out of rear baby seats.
you nooooobbbb.
