Just overheard a colleague telling another that they got a parking fine yesterday and they're fuming. Cut a long story short, they'd parked in a disabled spot as they'd only be 10 minutes nipping to a shop. Came back and a fine on the windscreen for unauthorised use of a disabled bay. Bit they're fuming about is they were literally 10 minutes and had caused no trouble to anyone. They've now appealed the fine as they have a clean license and was only 10 minutes...
I had to bite my tongue so as not to offend.
well the fine is prob £60 now, but it will be double later. I'd have bit my tongue for that reason alone.I had to bite my tongue so as not to offend.
1. It should be socially unacceptable to be a lazy selfish asshole who parks in disabled spaces.
2. It should NOT be ne socially unacceptable to tell people about 1.
But as he used the word ONLY, he should just be completely let off and sent an apology by the parking company.
That's why I was fuming when I got arrested after ONLY having six pints of lager, and then ONLY going just over the speed limit and anyway, I was ONLY going half a mile up the road.
I'm joking btw, just hate people who use ONLY as some kind of mitigation.

That's shocking Liquid Knight! There's a junction on my commute that I get this a lot at. People squeezing past to either turn across me or to get past to where it narrows even more for some lights. I get so many near misses on a daily basis, but there isn't another route to work. Hope you get the scumbags reg plate tonight.
It's the same road as my Penis Experiment clip. That was an average day this was below average. Yesterday evening I waited in the layby from 18:03 to 18:22 and there was no sign of the 307 but at ten minutes past six a Police van went by, turned around at the end of the road and came back.
It could and probably is nothing, the 307 driver left work early or late maybe had to stop somewhere and our paths didn't cross or he knew someone would be looking out for him and he took a different route. Who knows?
Anyway, I'm just back from giving my statement and the officer will be reviewing the towns CCTV to see if the 307 can be identified. From there the driver will be pursued with a view of Careless Driving and Leaving the Scene. Hopefully they'll get a result before anything else happens.
As I'm banned from my Anti-knob Good Deeds thread, I'd like to thank the woman in the Q5 for stopping and offering to help and the Cambridgeshire Police for all their efforts result or not.

I was knocked off my bike last night on Lynn Road, Wisbech's 50mph zone I was hit in the arm by the mirror from a dark blue, 53-reg, Peugeot 307SW with blacked out windows.
My arm feels like I've done too many bicep curls but I twisted my back on the way down and am stiff as a board.
It was a hit and run and I'm more annoyed I didn't get the whole number plate than anything else.
The thing that got me was I was overtaken safely by an Astra, a Corsa and then hit. So the driver must have seen the other cars move out of the way, the driver must have seen me in my neon orange and yellow outfit. I have a couple of theories.
1/ He deliberately hit me. There was no hesitation, braking or change of course at all as he ran.
2/ He's one of an increasing number of w
kers on the road who overtake cyclists as close as possible as if it's a sport.
Either way it's Careless/Dangerous Driving and Leaving the scene of a collision.
Anyway I've started this thread...
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
...to help others be aware of trouble spots and troublesome drivers.
I have another theory...

...the first time I wore my neon orange t'shirt that near miss and poor attempt of intimidation happened. The second time I was hit. I think I need to stop wearing that t'shirt on my bike as it was raining this morning I wore my yellow jacket over it and nothing happened at all.
As I'll have to drive to work tonight. I'll leave early and wait in the lay by near yesterdays collision to get the whole number plate for my interview with the Police tomorrow. I've seen the car several times I'm sure it's a commuter on his way home.

Some brain dead pedestrian couple, crossed as I was turning into a road and made me stop, I wasn't really very bothered so no horn, head shaking or hand gestures, just stopped my car so I didn't hit them, didn't have to stop sharply, just a gently stop. The man seems to take great offense to this and shouts "fk off" at me, so I say "why did you tell me to fk off?", to this he said nothing. Should have just hit him.
And this YouTube knob, he has been put on here before, but new video. Namely at 1:18 where he sped up to make a scene, 1:53 does the same and 3:02 where absolutely nothing happens but he starts shouting and swearing. Seems to struggle with roudndabouts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2KVIebfzHg Has disabled his comments, probably because they told him he's a fking .

The vast majority of the "incidents" are exacerbated by him, e.g., speeding up to make things look worse, or just blatantly making a mountain out of a mole hill. Like when he rants that the 3 Series is halfway across the road, when in reality it's barely over the white line. He also has a weird obsession with Zyclon B
I wonder if he's a member on here?
I love Angry Dascamman. It's sometimes hard to work out what the incident is supposed to be. He flips out at the most minor impoliteness or bad decision-making. As has already been noted, he also deliberately accelerates into trouble to creat conflict and is himself a really poor driver. I like the clip where he is pointlessly in L2 and then gets angry about someone 'undertaking' him so accelerates to block them in L1.
He's a weapons grade bellend and should probably not be allowed to drive.

One from the other morning. A van driver made a big effort to over take an artic at the top of Garrowby Hill on the A166 (a very steep hill), despite having had plenty of chances going up the hill. 1/2 a mile down the road van driver wants to turn right, but can't because of on-coming traffic. So everybody, including the artic he has just made a meal of getting past has to come to a full stop.
Cue artic driver letting the van driver know exacly what he thought of him.

The bellend in the 1 series on New Street, Basingstoke, who just hooted me because presumably, in his eyes, he thought I hadn't seen him. I had, in fact, seen him, had looked behind him, realised I'd got plenty of time to cross, and started walking out into the lane he wasn't in, planning to pass well behind him by the time I got to his lane and he had passed. I probably did this bbefore he'd clocked me so he panicked, but even so, it would have taken speed Usain Bolt would have been proud of for me to have been in any danger of being in front of him.
I've also had the daft drivers who stamp on the brakes in this kind of situation thinking you haven't seen them, when you've planned your cross to pass behind them. All this does is create a situation where both people are sat there looking at one another. In London, if you don't plan your crossing like this, you'll be on the pavement waiting until 3am.

you didn't say whether it was an angry telling-off honk or a i'm here watch out honk. If it was the latter you could argue this situation is exactly what horns are for. I have that many people walk out on me when i am in the manchester city centre part of my commute that i tend to do this quite a lot. It quite often gets met with angry defensiveness though as they interpret it as aggression.

the stupid bint who, at 9:30 at night came home to find someone in her parking space and decided the best thing to do was repeatedly beep her horn.
By the time I'd got down there someone had shouted down to her, which she assumed was me. It wasn't.
- Why are you swearing at me
- I didn't
- So you didn't shout "shut the fk up"?
- No, but (with a sense of mischief) why is it ok for you to swear at me
- I didn't
- You did, you said, "so you didn't shout shut the fk up"
- But I didn't swear...
- Anyway, please don't beep your horn like that, you've now woken my son and annoyed everyone in the building
Eventually someone came out and was getting into his car without saying anything, so I asked him to apologise because he'd annoyed this woman who'd then annoyed everyone in a 100 yard radius
God knows why the woman didn't just go and park on the road and leave a note on the car, it's not like it's a highly secure car park or anything.
My own view from NOT being the sort of person who thinks the world revolved around them - I think I would have been happier with the outcome if you had directed a lot more of your anger at the guy who parked in her space.By the time I'd got down there someone had shouted down to her, which she assumed was me. It wasn't.

If not for that selfish act, the whole situation would NEVER have occurred.
As it now stands, he is probably having a good laugh at both your expense.
