But alas, Mr Picasso coming down the hill (obstruction on his side) decides he's not waiting, so he drives PAST a pull in spot and comes to a halt next to Mrs Mondeo - cars are now very close to each other - he starts ranting and franticly testiculating to her, and as he starts to pull away he jerks his steering wheel to the right dragging his car along the side of hers, ripping the door trim off his car (ha) and scratching her whole side.
Didn't see it the first time.

I had this situation in a Tesco car park recently. Car cutting across the empty bays to get to the exit lane.
Luckily I anticipated what would happen if we had met at the 'junction', so I slowed down.
Both driver and passenger were on the phone.
Was unaware of any burping.
Yeah I see it most days, I sit at the corner of the services car park for lunch (sounds sad but it's better than listening to belches while trying to eat). Most of the culprits are either blokes in marked up vans on their phones, or the business-type juggling a triple soy mocha latte between their hands and the steering wheel Luckily I anticipated what would happen if we had met at the 'junction', so I slowed down.

S3 knob using a layby to overtake a van. Cuts him up with about a second to spare!

Driving like that I would have been looking behind me for the Blue lights he was running from.MinuteMan said:

Bloody hell - that was way less than a second to spare!https://youtu.be/Z2SOG8dfMtI
Extra knob points for the blue Vauxhall SUV-lite right at the end as well.

Here's hoping this guy kills or paralyses himself soon.https://youtu.be/Z2SOG8dfMtI
Walking home this morning I heard a loud scraping noise coming towards me on the road. Moments later a Peugeot estate of some kind comes driving past, with the front number plate hanging on with only one screw, so the plate had bent under the front of the car and was scraping along.
Not the biggest misdemeanor but how the driver and his passenger did not realise what was causing the racket I'll never know...

Listening to bangin' choonz? Although a Pug estate is an unlikely mode of transport for such types.Not the biggest misdemeanor but how the driver and his passenger did not realise what was causing the racket I'll never know...
Right. I need to vent.
Some might think this is in slightly bad taste, because a chap DIED on the road a little way ahead of me today, but here goes anyway...
We're on the M26/M20 southbound from the M25. Heading for Jct4 of the M20 to spin down to Sissinghurst. Everything is fine and dandy, traffic flowing nicely up to now, I'm driving mostly in lane 1, at an 'easy cruise', only nipping into lane 2 to pass trucks and motorhomes.
Everything is fine up to the M26. Then the problems start. Donkey No1? The stupid fat twunt driving his 40 footer half in lane 1, half in the hard shoulder. After watching several of his excursions I decide a 'fast pass' is best for (my) safety, and after I settle back into lane 1 I'm treated to the sight of him drifting onto the hard shoulder twice more. The ignorant fat useless twunt was too busy leaning across his centre console to concentrate on his F
king JOB!!! of driving. Subsequent (sobering) events mean I can't remember the company name to pass on my displeasure.
Next up is another useless, selfish, ignorant truck driver. He decides that "elephant racing" is the order of the day. Well, hey, why not? He's in charge, in his big truck, and if he wants to play the 'nearly past, so ease off the gas' game, that's up to him, isn't it? Well I hope he enjoyed playing the stupid game, because right about that moment, a driver was dying at Jct 4. How do I know this? Because, two cars back, a fully lit up marked BMW 5 Series is trying to get through to attend the incident. Only he can't, because three cars are stuck alongside two trucks, while truck No 3 plays the "deliberately hold the cars up" game, presumably to teach the Xsara Picasso ahead of me a lesson for tailgating the truck and frantically flashing his high beams. Look in your mirrors a bit harder, fknuts, and you might have realised that we were ALL flashing our headlights at you because all three of us stuck behind you were trying to get out of the way of the Police car.
When he finally gets over to lane 1, the Picasso, me, and the SEAT Leon behind me all scuttle across and the Police fly on by. This is where I'm introduced to knob No 3. He turns out to be the SEAT driver. Closely followed by the Picasso driver. Reasons? Picasso continues at <60mph, where I was kind of expecting him to return to his previous speed. I'm in no rush, but I want some space in which to drive, so I accelerate to overtake. But now he's matching my speed, and actually grinning at me as he does so. This is compounded by the SEAT driver now tailgating me, so I cannot drop back in behind the Picasso, even if I wanted to. So I increase speed to get past, and despite my indicating left, to clear lane 2 for Leon, he darts (dangerously close to the front of the Picasso) into lane 1, blasts past, then out in front of me, giving my the 'coffee beans'. No, my friend, YOU are the wker, I think you will find. So in the space of a few miles, I've witnessed four halfwits driving like complete bell ends, and within a couple of miles we're all going to be sat stationary for >45 minutes, get to watch the Air Ambulance approach, but not land (it was turned around before it landed, as the poor chap who'd piled into the Armco was pronounced dead at the scene), and around a dozen emergency vehicles blast down the hard shoulder.
Here's where we meet the next pair of knobheads. Surprise, surprise! It's two more truckers, determined to prove that they are the least professional, most selfish, least empathetic, most arrogant bunch of tts you wouldn't ever wish to meet. Having no doubt seen the succession of ambulances, fire engines, incident commander's cars, and so many marked and unmarked traffic cars that I lost count, all heading down the hard shoulder with lights and sirens blazing, this pair of retards decide that they have something to offer in dealing with the crash, and drive down the hard shoulder themselves, hazard lights ablaze. Jeeze, guys! Really? We all know we're within sight of the exit slip, but the issue is that the accident is before the exit, so we can't go anywhere until things are dealt with. I really, really hope you got written up by one of the officers at the scene, you selfish, ignorant retards.
Add in sundry idiots taking a stroll, some across the hard shoulder (remember, now, that EVs are periodically rushing down it) to piss on the verge, and one particular bawbag taking a little white Btchin' Frissee (?sp?) handbag dog for a fking WALK!!!! in the carriageway. The only trucker who redeemed himself was the Bulgarian fella in the truck alongside me (in lane 2) who turned off his engine immediately it became clear we were stopped for a while, when he realised his exhaust outlet was right beside my door.
Now, I've no idea how this chap came to pile into the barriers, so I won't speculate on it. But judging by the evidence markers he'd come from lane 2 or lane 3, before skidding of. And he was dead. Dead enough that the Air Ambulance didn't land. And yet the bunch of selfish, stupid knobs detailed above found it entirely acceptable to behave like utter halfwits and risk either causing more of the same further up the road, or making the situation more difficult to deal with.
Condolences to the family of the chap who died. And a vote of thanks to the emergency crews who acted with the utmost professionalism in dealing with the aftermath. It's tough when there's nothing you can do to save a life, and it's tough to move on from it. I hope you're all OK, and have any and all the support you may need.
Finally, I hope all those idiots have been 'sobered up' a little by what they witnessed, and maybe will think twice about being a little more civilised in their behaviour in future. Although I seriously doubt that they'll connect the dots and realise that it's only by grace and good luck that it wasn't them involved in a similar incident. Sorry to reiterate, but I think it is the height of idiocy to be dicking about with the safety of other road users when you've just been overtaken by a Police car which turns out to have been responding (urgently) to a crash that ended up being a fatal one.
Drive safe, all...

This morning there was a chap in a 4x4 waiting at the end of his driveway. I could see ahead and knew there was nothing behind me so I pulled over to the right so he could see behind me.
We ended up at the same place and he questioned my overreaction to him sat on the end of his drive. He thought I had swerved to avoid him. It was only after I explained it was so he could see there was nothing behind me so he'd have a few more seconds to plan his exit he realised he was being a twit.

Yesterday Evening - The lorry driver on the Horton Road. I was travelling up towards the M25, he was coming off the roundabout and moved into the box to turn into the HCH building. Rather than wait for me to pass, he decided to wait until I was about 50 yards away (probably less) and then turn. Forcing me to anchor and swerve to ensure I didn't plough straight into the side of him. Thank god it wasn't an artic otherwise I would have surely hit him.
Location - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.469663,-0.512551... I was pretty much on that exact spot, perhaps a yard or two further on.
Moving on to this morning - To the 4 or 5 tossers who undertook a lorry wanting to move into the left lane of the slip road this morning (M25 Heathrow junction forgot the number). You're all knobs and fking idiots, not only for not having the patience, but for undertaking a several tonne artic with heavy machinery on the back.
