One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 3
Discussion
The muppet in the old Mercedes in front of me earlier. Sitting at a green light behind another car that wasn't moving. I beeped them both after a good long count to 15 to get the first guy going and I get a dirty look from Mercedes man in the mirror. Wasn't beeping at you mate, was beeping at the muppet in front of you who wasn't paying attention.
Anyway, we get moving. First muppet is off into the distance and the Mercedes muppet slows to 30 and hangs back off a in the left lane, we're in the right lane. Too scared to pass I guess, there's space on his left so I flash him and gesture left (nicely) as I want to get moving and want to pass the lorry, he waves at me and then slows even further to 25, sitting at 25 in the outside lane of the dual carriageway elephant racing a lorry... Luckily the wife was on hand to diffuse my anger or I'd have been a bit of a hot mess OR I'd have been one of those muppets who overtook on the opposite side of the road.. I was so close....
I don't get why you'd be happy to sit behind someone at a green light not moving, unless you're not paying attention too, but slowing down on purpose to wind someone up, I just do not have the patience for people like that today.

60mph in lane 3 of the M25 when lane 1 & 2 are clear for miles, fk off....
Anti-clockwise this morning between the A3 and the M23? You spotted that cocksocket in the 3-Series BMW too? An Audi A3 was playing similar games too, as well as a big Jag with a roofbox on it.k off.60mph in lane 3 of the M25 when lane 1 & 2 are clear for miles, f
k off....I'll just add the absolute clunge in a white Mazda 6 that tried to exit the motorway into the new services THROUGH me
Then he had the cheek to blame me for him having to stay on the M-way after I had to blast the horn to wake the fecker up!! The worst part? He'd been behind me in lane 1 right up until the countdown boards, whereupon he decided that a last minute overtake to get into the services about 2 seconds quicker was 'just the ticket'. Moron.
Someone who tries to run you off the road and then denies all knowledge.

At this junction the lights alternate so that there's no conflicting traffic from the opposite direction. So left lane is left and straight, right lane is right and straight on. I usually keep a close eye on everyone as you don't know where people are going to go.
Last week I was heading up here in the left lane (in my wife's car - no camera), to my right was a black transit. As we pulled away he was a bit slow off the mark so was not level with me as we entered the junction. In fact he was some way back but I noticed he was accelerating. By the time we crossed the junction where two lanes become one:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.6072863,-0.30117...
He had caught up and was next to me. There was absolutely no reason for this, other than being a c**t.
So he kept going, forcing me into the kerb. I pipped and then slowed.
At a junction up the road I ended up next to him, and shouted over "what was that about, didn't you see me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Back there, you were behind me then....."
"I wasn't behind you I was next to you..." (In a way he was right, if you want to be obtuse he was in the lane next to me, but I was ahead of him crossing the junction"
"You nearly ran me off the road!"
"I'm allowed to go straight on"
Funnily enough, I witnessed an accident the other day where a woman kept saying she was allowed to go straight on in the lane she was in. She was, it was pulling in front of the lorry without indicating or actually noticing THE F**KING BIG LORRY RIGHT NEXT TO HER that caused the problem.
So, to sum up, the owner of Garrick Service and Sales Lts (garrickservice@aol.com) is either the mosty myopic driver out there and therefore not to be trusted with building work, or he's an absolute psychopath and, therefore not to be trusted with building work.

Stupid old bint who I had the misfortune of encountering on a 50 MPH Dual Carriageway yesterday morning.
She was sat doing no more than 25 MPH in the left hand lane, luckily the rest of the traffic was a good few car lengths behind me as I'd entered from a junction ahead of them, so I was able to move into the right hand lane and throw the hazard warnings on for a while before making the overtake - to warn those behind who no doubt would have obliterated the old deer (yes, it's 50 MPH limit but this is rarely followed and most people do 70-odd).
Checked the rear view after making the overtake and sure enough she'd nearly caused a pile up and had a significant tail back going. People honking horns, lights flashing, trying to get around her - she's merrily tootling along like something off Driving Miss Daisy, oblivious to the inconvenience she's causing.
Sorry to be an arse, but in all honesty - these people should NOT be allowed to drive. It's the same as the plebs out on country roads, 60 MPH limits and they're sat there tootling along at 20 MPH cos they're too scared to go any faster. Sorry but, if you're not comfortable driving on these sorts of roads then bugger off and find a different route or don't drive at all!

I can see where you're coming from.

king petrified of driving.If you can'd do within say... 10% of the limit (blind corners excepted) you should probably have a bus pass instead :/

Twice I was repeatedly flashed by old women in Hondas after passing them in the second lane of the M25 and returning to the left-hand lane (a good two car lenghts ahead of them, mind). k off.I have absolutely no idea why but it's not the first time I've experienced it.
The people who pull out of side roads on to a wide NSL and then accelerate at snails pace to a maximum of 35mph forcing me to not only brake heavily to avoid rear ending them but then also sit behind them doing 35mph for the next 5 miles.
I am all for letting people out of junctions but if it is clear a car is approaching at speed why oh why pull out at the last second! This happens almost daily.

Happened to me yesterday, bloke in a van pulls out at a snails pace resulting in me braking heavily. He then continued at a snails pace while waving to people on the side of the road, then accelerated. Seemed completely oblivious to traffic around him and cars he'd caused to slam on behind.I am all for letting people out of junctions but if it is clear a car is approaching at speed why oh why pull out at the last second!

Knob.Probably has no idea that one of the key things people look at when selecting a property these days is broadband speed. If anything he is the one devaluing the property by forcing crap BB speeds onto himself and several others. Shame as well as with the cab being on his doorstep he would likely have the fastest BB connection in the whole street.
"Not in my back yard" mentallity/knobishness of the highest order. Claims the "stress nearly killed him", so stop being a knob and let them upgrade the cab!
Silly old fool... Bet he is popular with the neighbours!
BT offered him 700-odd quid to do the upgrade as well!
1. Stop being a knob and accept the cash
2. Book week long holiday whilst the upgrade is carried out to avoid it and treat the wife
3. Win.

On the way home just now, the knuckle dragging cretin in the black Audi A6 who nearly literally drove me off the road.
Coming along the Orpington bypass (2-lane, single carriageway). Traffic is flowing, but heavy. Suddenly he decides to overtake the car in front by simply pulling out into the oncoming traffic flow. I had to swerve to avoid him, if I hadn't it would have been a head on collision.
No sign that it was just poor judgement, he quite deliberately pulled out and forced me and the cars behind to swerve - the road is wide, but not wide enough that overtaking is an option in heavy traffic.
Absolute c***.

Happens almost daily to me also - now, if there's nothing coming, I just flick the indicator on and pass them without easing off, then watch the inevitable apoplexy erupt in my mirror I am all for letting people out of junctions but if it is clear a car is approaching at speed why oh why pull out at the last second!

I saw a good one the other day, old lady driver in a Panda with the drivers' rear door open. Not half closed, fully open at times. She didn't have a clue as it opened and closed as she went around corners. We tooted and waved, but she thought we were being aggressive and started ahead over the steering wheel.TankRizzo said:
