Knob in the E Class ragtop flying along in lane 4 of the southbound M1 this morning: 60 limit/heavy rain & spray. He suddenly lurches across all four lanes with only the briefest of indications and only just makes the exit for the A5 by virtue of cutting up a car transporter and a camper van then stops on the hatchings to take a phone call
The Phil Mitchell lookalike on the same stretch who was aggressively tailgating people in lane 4. This managed to work for several miles until he tried it with a very clean Navy blue S80.......which suddenly lit up like Blackpool illuminations

t decided that throwing our neighbour's recycling bin around the street was a good idea. I know it wasn't a passing vehicle because my driver's side was against the kerb.
May your colon turn green and fall out.

Nissan Qashqui driver who may have actually been drunk (10:30 friday night), was going about 15mph in a 30, slammed on the brakes to turn a corner, did it again to pass a parked taxi(nothing coming other way, had entire oncoming lane to go in), then got the wrong lane and cut me up, 10 seconds later got wrong lane again cutting me up again, then went <10mph, probably because I flashed my lights when he cut me up the second time. Either drunk or a crap driver, a Qashqai so probably the latter.
Juke driver M25 this morning,anti clockwise approaching M3.
I'm in L3,L1 to continue on M25,Juke goes past in 4 ,cuts into 5.
Traffic slows,as per usual for that bit,I next spot him in L1, for M3
London bound.
Next cuts into L2,then L3 back onto M25 cuts up the Polo in front of me,Polo hoots and gets a minor brake test for his troubles.
Juke is across to L5 next and gone.
And we wonder how accidents occur !

First post on here - though have 'visited' many times....
Just so I can get it off my chest - car bonnet mascots
Can't object to those originally fitted, but blood pressure raised slightly by this:
Finally, apoplexy induced by this prime knobhead style:
Ahhh - feel better now
You live in or near the Saffron Walden/Newmarket areas then?Just so I can get it off my chest - car bonnet mascots

There was a lot of that 'bonnet adornment' going on amongst the local huntin'n'shootin'n'fishin' set when I lived round that way. Mostly chrome/silver horses and dogs and almost always at the windscreen end of the bonnet. Mostly Jaguars and Range Rovers falling victim to it as well. I find it irritating out of all proportion with the actual harm it does, and it looks pretty crappy IMHO.
It does make it easier for animal rights protesters to decide what cars to throw paint stripper over though.
I am in no way condoning such criminal damage but if you are thick enough to adorn your vehicle with tasteless tat you may as well have a neon sign hanging from your interior mirror saying "I only kill defenseless creatures".

Two lanes into one on a RBT exit? Using the RH lane is called pushing in. Nobody likes it. (APIS)
It is called 'overtaking'. Nobody likes it! Two lanes into one on a RBT exit? Using the RH lane is called pushing in. Nobody likes it. (APIS)
(What does 'APIS' mean, please? Nothing rude, I hope!)
For what it's worth I certainly do not have a problem with overtaking, or merging in turn.
Not only is it completely within the Highway Code, but you will also find a merge two lanes into one sign as ou approach the roundabout.
It isn't pushing in, it is maximising the capacity on a busy roundabout and reduces the queues backing up.
The merge point should be done at slow speed and with consideration for other road users, especially those who think they know better.

Next time vote APIS.
I'd forgotten how much fun driving in London is. Use indicators anywhere especially on roundabouts and you get funny looks. Do something as normal as letting someone out of a junction instead of advancing four feet and it's like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
I shouldn't get a congestion charge though as I had a Vicks inhaler with me.

Read the Highway Code, respect your fellow road users.
It isn't difficult.
Why do you think you know better?
It's not a case of knowing better, but many incidents of, typically, two lanes into one and a selfish driver suddenly on your right as the lanes merge, getting closer and closer, just making it into the LHL as the lanes merge.How can you respect a driver like that?It isn't difficult.
Why do you think you know better?
It's not a case of not letting a fellow motorist merge, they just appear from nowhere almost taking a wing mirror or two on the way,forcing you to give way.
It is, plain and simple, pushing in.
I find this occurs at almost all two lanes into one, whatever the configuration.
Vote APIS.
I went to fill my motorcycle up at a leading, non PH approved, unmanned, low rent supermarket filling station today and discovered that one of the litter bins between the pumps had been on fire. So I would like to nominate which ever throbber put, I assume, a fag end in a litter bin at a filling station as Knob Of The week

t like you that doesn't want to zip merge, I let you go in front - life is too short to worry about the angry brigade.Just don't come running to PH when you take on some Kenneth Noye-alike.
