stupid BMW driver who pulls out on me on the road then stops still waiting for me to crash into them, instead of just speeding up..
I get the hazard light flash thou, like that solves everything.
He has probably concentrating on looking for the hazard light switch rather than on looking where he was going and accelerating.I get the hazard light flash thou, like that solves everything.
The best 'thankyou' anybody could give when pulling out of a junction ahead of me (especially if I have flashed them out) is to accelerate swiftly so that I dont have to lift off or brake. I'll happily forgo a wave or flash of hazards in thanks.

Good journey into work this morning, Angrybiker?
Actually it was really good today, roads were really clear. I thought Friday was shirk from home day, clearly it's full and expanding into ThursdaysTwo clowns turning right at the exit to Farnham Station last night.
Clown 1 wants to turn right out of the station car park. Clown 2 wants to turn right into the car park, heading up the hill.
I'm heading downhill toward the A31, and I've spent the last ten minutes waiting in a queue trying to turn right on the other side of the level crossing, but because the lady behind me was kind enough to wave me out of the junction for my right turn, I'm thinking I'll be nice and let both of these cars turn ahead of me, as the traffic light ahead is red anyway.
But no. Mexican stand-off time. There's room for both to manoeuvre, and normally I'd expect the one exiting to go first, followed by the one entering, then everybody else in both directions can go about their business. I wait. But the light ahead is about to go green, and I can't justify hanging about any longer as I'll hold up traffic behind me. So I roll past them, and as I turn right onto the A31 I can see in my mirrors that they're both still sat there, the stand-off continuing.
And I'll add the educationally sub normal BMW 1 Series driver who overtook me heading Petworth way from Farnham on the A283. The reason, you cretin, that I'm travelling at 'only' 50mph, is because that's the speed that all these weird little 'lollipop' signs are reminding us to travel at. Furthermore, I'm unfamiliar with the road, so I won't be risking falling foul of a fixed speed camera or mobile trap that I can't forecast. So that is why I'll be easing back to 30mph whenever the road signs require it. Having tailgated me aggressively for several miles with an abundance of far safer overtaking opportunities, you then decide to go 'head-to-head' with oncoming traffic while on the wrong side of a solid white line. Two things... 1. Only my braking, and that of the oncoming car, allowed you to safely regain the correct side of the carriageway. And 2. I hit the horn because I was justifiably concerned that the oncoming driver might not have seen what was going on, and I felt that it was entirely justified to issue a warning in the circumstances. Certain questions arise too. Namely "Why did you then slow to brake-check me, and make idiotic hand gestures at me, if you were in such a damned hurry?" and "Was it really your car that I saw in the car park at Petworth House when I pulled in there myself?" Surely it can't be worth the risk of a collision, or points and a fine, just to get to the head of the queue for a National Trust sausage roll about a minute sooner? If it was you, I hope you enjoyed the Turner exhibition and that sausage roll, and that all the stress was worth it...

This is a recurring theme in thirty zones. Pull out of a junction with plenty of time, get to thirty briskly only then for vehicle behind to catch up, sit on your bumper, blast their horn, flash their lights, make various hand gestures and nine times out of ten point to a camera that's mounted in their direct field of view (and not behind the mirror out of the way).
The gap was more than big enough and the only reason you "caught up" was because you were either breaking the speed limit or broke the speed limit to bridge the gap. So whatever point you are trying to make isn't and you are the Twunt for speeding, tailgating and failing to maintain control of your vehicle within a standard expected of a competent driver.
The next one that does this will get a video of their prostate to post on YouTube.

The 3 young looking lads in the brand new Mercedes CLA 45 AMG thingy. Everything about it just looked off. Especially these guys jumping out of a near £50k motor.
They just looked like low end drug dealers in their tracksuits and woolie hats, looking like they're skulking around. Sunroof left open even though it's freezing.
What made them knobs was parking in a disabled bay.
