One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 3
Discussion
Dozy woman in a lease White Megane going wrong way up a 1 way street earlier.
2 clues love. First was the 2 F
g great round red signs with horizontal white lines on them that you drove past as you turned into the street & the other was every car parked was facing towards you.
Also gesticulating wildly at me, when you are in the wrong, is not going to make me or the 20 odd tonne lorry behind me & the bus behind that reverse for you!

Large woman in a C3 who in a 50 zone for roadworks (which were actually being worked on) flew away from me when I had cruise on at 50, then tailgated the car in front who was going 50, despite lane 2 being clear and didn't bother overtaking, then slammed on the brakes for the average speed camera, plenty of signs saying average speed cameras but not for her, hope she gets a ticket. We all overtook her when it got back to 70 as she dawdled about still doing about 60. I admit I did flash her when she stayed at about 70 when we were going past workmen.

There's loads of room for 2 cars to pass there. There's so much room that they wouldn't even need to sign that it was narrow lane running. Complete non-issue.
Now, about taking a photo whilst driving, and some really quite poor road positioning...
Unless LHD, I'm guessing that's from a fixed camera in the vehicle, or picture taken by a passenger. As for road positioning? No frame of reference to establish how much space was available to be further over to the nearside on approach, plus the fact that the light is at 'green' so it is a "Complete non-issue"... Now, about taking a photo whilst driving, and some really quite poor road positioning...

Had this temporary traffic light been red, this is the position at which traffic is instructed to stop, as they await a flow of on-coming traffic, according to this ludicrously-placed '3-Way Control' sign!
Some Mothers Do Have 'em!
Darwinists out this morning. 
Dark grey skies, grey roads, battle ship grey or darker vehicles, no lights and no idea.
Some even wearing sunglasses.
I know the EU tried to make it mandatory for people to use their headlights 24 hours a day back in 2008 but common sense would dictate that you need to be seen to be safe.
Windscreen wipers on - Headlights on
One chap in a grey Focus while trying to overtake me this morning nearly hit a Peugeot 307 head on because both drivers were in grey cars and neither had any lights on. Arrow straight road with very good visibility. If it wasn't for the chrome trim and number plate you wouldn't have known the 307 was there.
Automatic headlights were okay for a while until people turned them to manual and some people with DRL's (who I refer to as "Durls" as it sounds about right) feel they don't need anything else on unless it's pitch black. Just another case of drivers aids making drivers crap.
I'll have my 3000 Lumen lights on my bike tomorrow as more rain is forecast.

that reminds me - when i'm waiting in the queue for the drinks machine and the guy or girl in front has one of those stupid plastic things with the multiple cup holes and is busy getting 8 little cups of tea that take 30 seconds each to take over to the group of people on their desk 20 feet away. Perish the thought that i might suggest breaking the 'round' that you've been in since 1998 but it would be a bit fairer to everyone else. People getting 8 coffees in coffee shops pretty similar issue but at least it doesn't block the queue!!
THIS.This knobisness really winds me up, especially if I go to get a coffee during my (already short) break and end up spending 98% of it waiting for some knob to fill up 8 odd cups.
Don't be so f
king lazy, get your own sodding coffee veccy208 said:

The worst bit is that I only want a cup of water. There are no water fountains or any other ways to dispense drinking water. However the coffee from those machines is just foul and the tea isn't much better. I really judge the people that drink it! The coffee bar downstairs at least serves fresh coffee and I'd only go there. Another annoyance is when someone pushes the cappuccino button and then retrieved the cup like a mong, spreading frothed milk powder all over the nozzle. I then go to get a water and there's minging pretend coffee froth on the cup rim or swimming in my drink.
Our one in work is supposed to have hot chocolate, coffee and tea. Every one just ends up tasting of coffee.king machine i bet!!2 in the local Tesco car park today.
Both did exactly the same thing.
Teaching my wife to drive, and today took her to practice parking in bays.
The local Tesco car park is 90% empty, so we go there, and go as far away from the store as possible, so no cars around for her to worry about.
Not 5 minutes later, a car parks in the very next bay that she is practicing in, so we move 10 bays down, 10 minutes later exactly the same thing happens.
Both drivers could see her L plates, and would have seen me stood beside the car, giving her direction through the open window.
Why, just why?

A12 around Colchester on Saturday night. GPS indicated 70 the whole time, move out to overtake a black Fiesta and as I'm overtaking the blonde behind the wheel thinks it's a good idea to speed up, so I pull back in - still doing 70... there's a slight incline further ahead and I am gaining on her at a fair rate so I overtake and pull in whilst still doing 70. 1 min later some comes flying past pulls in and then does about 68 in front of me so I am gaining on her ever so slightly, again I end up pulling to overtake her and she pulls off at a junction as I'm passing. I don't think she really had much awareness of what she was doing as she never looked over, I just think she was totally incapable of driving at the same speed for more than 2 seconds. Bloody annoying.
Same goes with any bloody incline on a motorway or fast A road, nobody works out that you need to squeeze the go pedal a little harder to maintain speed.

Bellend chav in his shed of an A3 with RS badges glued on who sat like a prize plank in L2 of the DC this morning at about 10 mph below the 50 limit and refused to move over despite the several people sat up his bottom and people undertaking in the left hand lane.
Later on we approached a set of traffic lights onto an NSL stretch, Audi knob was first at the lights still in L2. I can only assume when the lights turned green he floored it in an attempt to show off his shed.
Unfortunately for him something went tits up and his shed spat out a plume of black smoke before stalling.
Knob, MOVE OVER!

Exellent maxim. Thanks to my dad, when he was teaching me to drive, I have always done this.WJNB said:

I do this. Where else is it meant to go? My non existent ashtray? The car manufacturers stopped fitting them and this is the consequence.Many are slightly rough looking women looking very unhappy with their lot.
