The idiot roadworkers that thought it was a good idea to leave not one but TWO sets of temporary traffic lights,within a mile of each other, stuck on red in both directions

On my way to work last night, get some sort of battered estate behind me with a single sidelight on (was dark by this point) - no dipped beam at all. As we progress to stretches of road with no streetlights he turns on the dipped beam. Once we enter stretches with streetlights he turns dipped beam off again. On and off, on and off. It was like Blackpool illuminations. WHY?

Oh I see... so despite the fact that you're the one that decided to write a huge diatribe pulling apart every aspect of my post and hypothesising incorrectly over what it really meant I am the one that needs to chill out?

What a ****!

The guy who stopped and flashed me out on to a busy main road this morning, but got annoyed when I didn't immediately pull out. The reason for my hesitation was the fact that he was at that moment being overtaken by a motorbike.

I pulled out behind him, and spotted a 'THINK BIKE' sticker in his rear window. Oh the ironing.

The fat woman in the mini people carrier, Vauxhall something or other who thought that even though the car turning left out of this not particularly wide side street
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.0072621,-0.50523...

had taken a central position in the lane she would make another right turn lane. Forcing me to come to a stop on the main road while she continued out, pausing only to stick her tongue out of her fat fking head at me.

Then, further down the same side street, here
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.0092835,-0.50140...

The woman who, rather than wait as I passed the line of parked cars on the left (following another car) she'd continue on, driving quite alarmingly straight at me until she took to the pavement at the last second.

The 66 plate McLaren, 570GT I think, that parked with a single occupant in the mother and child space at a local supermarket today. Nicely speced, flat grey, gloss black accents and wheels, orange seat belts. Lovely I thought, until I saw where he parked.
Don't blame him to be honest.
Sounds like you'd be happy to "blame" owners of 'lesser' cars though?

Money and a nice motor isn't carte blanche to act like a tt your entire life.

If I'm expected to "suck it up -that's just how life is" when I suffer the inevitable door-dings in my 'ordinary' motor, then someone who can clear afford to have a monthly direct debit to their favoured paintless dent removal specialist should also be expected to "suck it up". I'm fairly certain that my car means AT LEAST as much to me as the McLaren owner's car does to him. So why shouldn't I be allowed special "park like a self entitled throbber" privileges too?

Hmmm?

Riddle me that, indeed!

Had a strange one today. Newish beige 5 Series Estate pulls in front of me forcing me to come to a complete stop to avoid a collision, I didn't beep or anything. 5 Series then turns around, follows me until I go into a car park, waits while I reverse into the space, then driver sits looking at me for 5 seconds or so and turns around and leaves the car park again.

I don't know if he was road raging, but this seems odd, he followed me at a safe distance, and wasn't doing anything untoward, plus the cut up, he was in the wrong and I didn't react to him.

Maybe he was lost, followed me to the car park, decided he didn't want that car park and buggered off again, but that doesn't explain the looking at me.

Any ideas? It has me stumped.
He's a hitman. Your car matched the intended victim's car. He stared at you in the car park to make sure you weren't his target. Safe to breathe again now...

You seem to be confusing my joke about not having sex with not having children

It was that initial post you made (where you got angry about P&C spaces) that implied not having sex, rather than not having children. Can you see now?

Your other posts came across as angry, frustrated even which people often equate with not having sex.

Again, chill out. Re-read your post. Hopefully you see why I made a joke about you not having sex.
Not actually a joke about you not having kids, or me having or not having kids.

So, lets move on. Apologies for diverting the thread.

The X reg Golf convertible owner who decided to do a full on emergency stop in the middle lane of the M56 this morning for absolutely no apparent reason. He was MLM'ing too. No one was tailgating him. Strange

I drive one of these, well 2 actually http://www.agriaffaires.co.uk/used/farm-tractor/78... this week on the back is the old version of one of these http://www.tulipindustries.com/tulip/portfolio-ite... with the hopper extensions and I had a 600 litre ballast tank on the front of the tractor.

On Wednesday I was proceeding along the Queens highway in an easterly direction with the intention of turning right into a field, imagine that, a tractor turning into a field. Unheard of.

Both beacons were on and I started to signal right and at the same time positioned the vehicle right over the white line. Not a little bit over, the centre marker on the bonnet was going on top of the white line, so there would be no doubt that I was turning right. Right? Wrong.

As I approached the field entrance, one last mirror and life saver check revealed a Fiesta van between my front and rear off side wheels. Quite what he hoped to achieve in barging past an 11 tonne machine that was turning right remains to be seen, but he lost and ended up further back in the queue than if he had waited.

The bloke behind me laughed at him.

I did my usual trip down from nottingham to east london last night,
I was on the dual part of the a1 i overtook 3 cars with a white focus as the middle car i noticed he had been sat in lane 2 earlier for a fair distance.
He pulled out to overtake a few miles later, i had been on cruise all the time. Focus man came up behind me going a lot faster than before.
When he got level with me he sat right next to me making no attempt to overtake.
I was approaching another car i ended up having to brake to slot in behind him.
He then pulled in i did not see him any more until the 4 lane section of the a1 when he came charging past in lane 3 of a empty motorway.
He then slowed down again i last saw him sat in lane 2 on the a14 with nothing in lane 1 on the a14 with at least 20 cars sat behind him.
The other knob was a 4x4 volvo thing also sat in lane 2 of the 2 lane sections then straight into lane 3 on the a1.
He tried to block me in on the a14 as i went past him in lane 1 on the a14 as he was stuck in lane 2 with nothing close in front and not making any attempt to overtake.
He tried to block me in later by putting his foot down not realising that we were approaching the roadworks and 40 limit with traffic bunching.
When the traffic cleared he was off like a scolded cat when the traffic cleared he must have been 100 plus.

This morning I overtook 3 cars here
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.0436537,-0.5251,...

It's a 60 limit, before the overtake we were doing just over 40.
As I passed the third (front) car, the one dictating the speed, I heard a long horn blast.

Knob.

If I hadn't have had to wait an age for him to catch at the next junction I would've asked why he pipped me.
Nothing was coming the other way, visibility is good, the road is dead straight. Didn't cut anyone up.

Knob.

People who smoke with their kids in the car, then try to use to excuse "I opened the window."

Don't know if it's been mentioned before. I have nothing against smoking.
