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!
So irritating. If you don't want people overtaking, drive briskly. If you don't want to drive briskly, accept that people will overtake. Blocking an overtake just so you can ultimately slow down to an inconsiderately slow pace again is beyond ish. Makes me want to kill again.

Cheers, Jim

...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"* rolleyes 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?
Believe me, I tried. Pointing out that the 'basic rules' of the roundabout apply to all? - "But I can't wait there all bloody day!"
Explaining that I can't just randomly stop ON the roundabout after entering, as the driver behind me probably won't expect me to stop to 'let her out'? - That's my problem not hers, apparently.
Pointing out that if she was to cause a collision in such circumstances then she'd likely be found to be 100% 'at fault' and lose her NCD? - Utter tosh, apparently. "You can't just go about driving into the side of cars, you ignorant man".

After informing her that I felt her driving, and attitude, were rather sub-standard, I declined to discuss things further. By this point it was a choice of either (i) punch her repeatedly, until my frustration subsided, or (ii) just extract myself from the situation, and go in and do my shopping. As a rational human being with no desire to get arrested, I chose to walk away, although all that achieved was her mumbling something about me being wrong and unable to admit it. Seems it's true what many folk say... if you argue with idiots, they just drag you down to their level, and beat you with their experience. She was so stereotypically 'posh' that it was like trying to debate with a roomful of Hyacinth Buckets.

These type of people are incredibly frustrating and unfortunately the best thing to do is walk away immediately without saying anything. I've found from experience some of these people will walk up and grab you by the arm as you walk away, at which point option 1 becomes viable as self defence. I had a similar incident with a duffer in his 50s did the same as you described, but after grabbing my arm and me telling him to let go he said "I'll let go when I'm ready". A single very sharp jab to his nose later and he was ready to let go and I was on the phone to the police. He wanted me charged with aggravated assault but the coppers said it was self defence and he shouldn't have tried yo restrain me. Also when they found out what it was all about he got a lesson on junction priority as well.

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.

ARGH!
Reading is a nightmare for giffers and Doris's on the roads. Do you also get the people who are heading towards you but are 300+ metres away turning their main beams on as you overtake? I don't get the logic, why would you dazzle someone who's oncoming in your lane, it's only going to make them getting out of your way harder!

Option iii: reverse her car back and forth over her head until she admits she was wrong? laugh


Anyway:

driving down a 30 mph road, busy but also has houses, notice a car suddenly up my arse which wasnt there 10 seconds ago, slow down coming to a junction which just turned green but gave the cars at the line time to pull away.

Mr knob, in a Volvo with custom LED lights whacks to my right into the turn lane, guns it and sweeps back across my nose causing me to brake hard.

All to overtake...me?!

He then sat up the arse of the car in front while I may have given him some friendly hand signals, toodled along behind that car all the way down the road before peeling off into a more residential street with squealing tires.

I just couldnt fathom that one.


And then on the A406 (where else?!) a Honda doing a good 65mph or so in a 50mph in lane one and swing out to lane 3.


All of this was around 10pm on a Sat night, so I should have better expected the knobby drivers to be in force.

You can't complain about a Van Man getting a Maccy D's .....they need to get as many down them as they can in Cumbernauld ....if the yes vote wins MacDonalds will surely pull out .

Two lanes of traffic queued at some lights.

A people carrier came up behind me, switched onto the wrong side of the road, then overtook all the queueing traffic. When it got to the lights it did a little jink to the left and managed to squeeze itself diagonally right in front of all the other traffic. The lead vehicle must have been a bit short of the line leaving room for Mr A. Knob. Then the lights changed and he was off in a cloud of smoke...

These wkers must have been related, first of all some old fking coffin dodger pulls out from side road and proceeds to go at a pace, best described as bk cruching fking slow, luckily around here you do get to expect it, however his son must have been getting a ginsters at the shell garage 100yds up the road and when i was about 40ft from him he just pulled out to go right, again judicious use of brake coupled with the digit and no change of expression on my face from 'Oh another fking idiot' He was grinning like a real head case
Oh well i expect he really enjoyed that, perhaps he hasnt got a prick to play with

I realise that you're cross old chap, but any chance you could find some of those punctuation keys the next time you post?

I've never known a dog be unduly bothered by travelling in the boot of a car.
Women on the other hand can be right whiny bhes.

At times I'd love to pit the wife in the boot, I honestly don't think I'd win the fist fight when I let her out again.scratchchin
