The chimp in the Fuller's Brewery delivery lorry today on Gloucester Road who felt the need to beep to attract my attention and then give me a 'small dick' sign with his hand for, well, nothing. I had parked up and was just getting out of the car. Presumably for being a 'flash git' and having my roof down on a nice sunny day.

I've been a bit down this week, and it was nice to get out and enjoy the car. You completely ruined this.

Still, as a consolation i suppose I was the one in a nice car off work on a Friday whilst you were holed up in a lorry with your chimp passenger.

Never mind, Mr cc. Better a small one that wriggles than a large one that snoozes! (French proverb).

To the artic driver who at least twice seemed to actively attempt to injure / kill me - you failed, but only just.
I was the blue car who had to follow you at 35mph off the M60 onto the Lancs with one of your fellow knobends hanging on my rear bumper in his 106.

1. Maybe you can explain why once we'd joined the Lancs, you felt the need to sharply veer completely over into lane two as my back end had drawn level with yours? There was definitely nobody in lane 1 to overtake. Possible oversight on your part.

I'm glad my brakes work so well that a full emergency stop left me at least 6 inches between your trailer one side and the kerb on the other. 106 knob just managed not to land in my boot, but it was all a bit too close so I pulled over to lane 1 to remove myself from this squeeze.

2. Why did you anchor on aggressively while I was moving left causing another close shave?

As you were busy anchoring on, I ended up with my front end alongside again so yes, maybe it was wrong, but I decided to go past.

3. Once I was just picking up speed, why the f... did you swerve violently left again you f...ing c...???

4. Wagging your finger at me in your mirror as I finally overtake in lane 2 does not make me the bad guy.

You'll be glad to know that I was so shocked that I didn't get your number or even the name on your truck but pm me - we'll meet up so you can explain.

Crossing the Frimley roundabout on the A325 I had to toot the horn to wake up a middle aged 'sleeper' who appeared not to notice that he'd strayed out of his (clearly marked) lane and was about to straight-line the roundabout, but through the side of my car.

Once off the roundabout, with him behind me, I got the tailgating and flashing high beams treatment.

At this point I acted like a bit of a knob, by slowing gradually. When he realised I might actually be coming to a halt to have some words (I wasn't, the lights for the pedestrian crossing looked likely to change) he dropped back. RIGHT BACK!

Seriously, chap? You need to get a proper grip of that steering wheel, and follow the lane markings around the roundabout. Then you ought to get a grip of yourself, and not get aggressive then back off at the first sign of conflict. Conflict YOU were entirely responsible for causing. Or maybe you backed off because the wife/sister/friend in the passenger seat told you to stop being a complete dick, and to play nice?

Frimley's busy isn't it? Seems like roundabout day today as well, twerp in a Citroen C1 on the A689 entered the roundabout (this one - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.6302676,-1.3191309,188m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en in the left most lane which is left turn only into a business park and, despite the size of the roundabout (it ain't narrow) managed to miss the left lane, straight across the inside lane and exit in the left lane. Small mercy it was empty as this little bit of the A689 can get really rather busy in the rush hour (first time this week the right lane's been empty).

Isn't it funny how all the YouTube footage you see is missing the preceding events.

Victim said:

I don't know why I am a road rage victim? It was totally unprovoked!!

All I did was something really bad to them and then called the other guy names and gave him a coffee bean shake, etc etc.before doing something even worse on purpose, because he beeped me - instead of just saying sorry and admitting my mistake

It's a total mystery.

And I seem to have lost the other footage of me being the tt.

Probably said it before, but when you are in the overtaking lane coming up to a slip lane, doing the speed limit and plenty time to pull in, but the driver on the insides life is so meaningless unless he decides to speed up on purpose and effectively undercut you

I'm heartily sick of nub ends insisting that they absolutely must overtake me, and then immediately cut across right in front of me to exit the M-way, despite the fact that there's about half a mile of empty lane 1 behind me, into which they could have slipped, safely and effortlessly.

The countdown to the junction starts a fking mile away, then reminds you twice, at half a mile and a quarter of a mile, before finally virtually slapping you about the head with closely spaced '///' '//' '/' marker boards, yet some of the tossers out there won't even consider moving across to lane 1 until they are past the dotted line demarking the start of the slip road.

I'm quietly hoping that one of them will, one day, get stuck in lane 2 alongside me, and have to go on to the next junction to turn around. Fking loser halfwit twunts.

Since according to the Highway code (yes I know, what's that?) you are supposed to indicate to pull off at the first leaning slash marker board (the on with 3 on), that means you should be in lane 1 before this point. Or am I missing something?

For 'two in a row' I give you the absolute idiot in a scruffy old blue Clio yesterday on the A325 roundabout at Frimley. He came from the left here... https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3153496,-0.74457... ...and failed to give way to the Range Rover in lane 1, and the BMW 5 Series in lane 2 who were both going straight ahead up toward Frimley Park Hospital. Oh, and me, in lane 3, heading right, toward Frimley itself. We all gave the clod a blast of the horn, which was duly ignored.

After straight lining the roundabout, he exited in lane 1 here... https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3152704,-0.74395... ...and narrowly avoided driving (at speed) into the small queue waiting behind the bus at the stop just beyond the pedestrian crossing. As I passed him in the right hand lane, I spotted the cause of this idiocy. The baseball capped oik was unwrapping a fking Ginsters pasty while trying to negotiate a busy road, two roundabouts and a pedestrian crossing. I don't particularly like the term, but I've not seen a better example of a total retard on the roads recently. No consideration for safety, and using the throttle like an on/off switch. Terrible driving

Then, almost immediately, I reached the roundabout outside the Fitness shop, and had a middle aged woman in a Mercedes Benz hold her hand up, palm out, to tell me to stop as I drove around that roundabout! Seriously, Doris? YOU get to fking-well stop at the white line. That's what it's there for. I frankly couldn't give a stuff that you've "let enough cars go already"* There is no possible way fro me to tell how long you've waited, therefore you WILL wait behind that line because there was nothing coming from MY right to which I needed to cede priority.

*how do I know that "I've let enough cars go already" was her reason for trying to drive out in front of me? Because she challenged me over my "shocking attitude" when she pulled up next to me in Waitrose car park. Talk about an overdeveloped sense of entitlement!!!

Hope you put her straight?

All 5... Yes, 5 people dawdling along that I overtook last night between Farnham and Reading who decided to either full beam or speed up as I overtook. I have all 5 of you on my dash cams.

I really don't understand this at all. Every single overtake was perfectly safe, I gave them all plenty of room, indicated out and back in again. Textbook stuff. Are people's lives really this sad that they cannot even be overtaken on the road? One of them moved over the centre line too.

I also don't have a clue what goes through someones mind when they're doing 40MPH on a perfectly straight and sighted piece of road, which they're perfectly happy to do so long as they're holding someone else up. But when you overtake they're quick on the gas to try and stop you. If you're happy driving that speed (oh and you notice your hair isn't on fire, your wheels are still attached, your cock didn't fall off) then drive that fking speed.

ARGH!

Speeding up while being overtaken is difficult to judge on dashcam footage.

However, pulling out to block an overtake is not. Could you post it (e.g. via (unlisted?) YouTube) for us to enjoy?

Have you considered reporting this dangerous driving to the Police?

It's quite common on my daily commute. Travelling on the M60 anti-clockwise between J19 and J18. L1 and L2 become the sliproad onto the M62, L3 and L4 become the M66 heading north. You will see countless people in L3 swerving into the L2 queue as late as possible. On quite a few occasions I have seen people stopping in L3 because there is no space in L2, which then effectively brings L3 and L4 to a complete stop as well.

The guy in the silver van who was in such a hurry to join the queue for McDonalds in Cumbernauld that he stopped across a mini roundabout blocking the access to Asda and had the audacity to think he was in the right. KNOB.
