This taxi company, can't name them but in York there are a lot of Toyota Auris Estates with their logo all over them, are the most ignorant, crap drivers. They just block everyone to pick up fares(fair enough if they're picking someone up but sometimes they block a road for 5 minutes+ and nothing can get past), one on a terraced street blocked so I couldn't get past next to a spot his car would fit in with room to spare. there's a modified black Vauxhall minibus with an illegally spaced numberplate who tailgated so close I had to pull in to let him past, sped off to god knows how fast in the 40. and they just kind of pull out regardless, there's a few taxi companies in York but this lot seem to just employ simpletons. Obviously not all bad and a small minority of this company's drivers but the bad taxi drivers here do seem to be that one company.
All that would really do is inconvenience his paying passengers.
Got sick of him one day when I was a passenger with a mate & drove the taxi around the corner & redumped it with the engine running & door wide open. I've never seen such a fat useless f
ker of a taxi operator (driver assumes too much skill) try as hard to run as he did

...what's a PH'der, something else confusing me today.
It's like a PHer, only with massive bosoms 
Audi drivers, mostly A4 2.0tdi drivers. Used to be Volvo drivers, chavs in hot hatches (where are they all?), BMWs, now the mantle has passed on to Audis for my 'Knob' recommendation, usually 2.0 tdi A4. With the xenons you can't see as they are so close to your arse, because hey that will make you pull over so he can do it to the next car, and the next, and the next in the interminable queue of traffic. Diving in at the last minute, not queuing like you lot, indicators were an option, it's ok for me to be on the phone because 'I drive an Audi. S Line. Tell Charles I'm on my way.'
I'm sure there are polite, considerate drivers in Audis out there somewhere but since they became the reps favourite they've turned me off the brand, and that after having owned an audi which I loved.

I saw him today. He was a white 64 plate 2.0 tdi A4 Avant.I'm sure there are polite, considerate drivers in Audis out there somewhere but since they became the reps favourite they've turned me off the brand, and that after having owned an audi which I loved.
I noticed him for two reasons:
a, He didn't let anyone out of side junction in traffic, when the rest of us were doing it 'in turn' (zipper style).
b, I was in White Audi S4 and it occurred to me at the time, that it was knobs like him that give the rest of us Audi drivers a bad name, through stereotyping (like cyclists - apparently
).5 mins up the road, when the traffic speeds up, he is soon overtaking cars to make up two places, - places that he then loses 10 seconds later at a roundabout, when most everybody else goes left.
The chap in the black Mercedes who was gesticulating at me because I had the temerity not to enter a box junction when my exit was not clear on Homerton High Road. There are 3 box junctions in a very short space: one at the Fire Station, one just after the Fire Station - to allow ambulances on to Homerton High St - and one on a busy junction just before a set of traffic lights. It has been reported in local news that the council had made a shed-load of money [7 figures] in fines (based upon a FOI request) from drivers who stop on these box junctions.
I simply shook my head at his increasing gesticulating - arm out of the window, hand in the air - and only moved forward once my exit was clear. When I passed the 3rd box junction and had passed the lights, I checked my mirrors to find that the chap had tried to cut someone up at the 3rd box junction, had to abandon his manoeuvre, immediately thrust his arm out of the window to gesticulate (with the other driver reciprocating), and then immediately had to place both hands on the steering wheel to move his vehicle, blocking a a bus trying to turn right.
Meanwhile, I had carried on my journey in relative serenity, air-con on, and Absolute Classic 80s on the radio.

Knobber 1 in the White A4 2.0 tdi. Surprise, surprise!
Using the M1 as his own personal GTA simulator, by weaving in and out of traffic at silly speeds, before diving from lane 4 to the A5 off-slip in one go
Knobber 2 in the White A1 tdi, who was so close to my back bumper that I couldn't actually see his bonnet at times.
Knobber 3 in the A7 Fastback who decided to suddenly pull out from a side junction that lead onto the busy Watford ring road, meaning I had to perform an emergency stop.He then decided to brake test me twice, and give me the finger, presumably because I flashed my lights and gave a toot of my horn
Knobber 4 in the Q7 S line, who obviously felt that queuing in a traffic jam was a little below him, so decided to use the hard shoulder as his own personal express lane (while on the phone FFS!) then tried to bully his way back in when he got caught behind a broken down Transit. t
t!
Woman in a crappy old 206 behind me, texting, then I noticed she had a child in the back, then I noticed the child kept standing up as had no seatbelt on, as you'd expect she had her own belt on. I grumbled loudly about how appalling it was that she's texting with her unstrapped child in the back and that she must be a crap parent, we both had our windows down, don't think she heard as she kept texting.
The warm weather is bringing them out in Bracknell
Yesterday there was the L plated wasp sounding apology for a motorcycle who decided that keep left signs dont apply to him and overtook me whilst i was negotiating the 'wine bottle' claming devices that plague this place
Second was today at the 'Harvester' roundabout I was exiting from Broad Lane to go across and go down Rectory Road. In the LH lane in order to get inro the marked LH lane on the Rbout to go down Rectory Rd
tt in VW golf is in the lane to my right and when the rbout was i moved off only to see find hin cutting across my front to get into the Rectory road exit Lane. Still my brakes work ,but i was tempted .........
Just bad drivers

t!Today there was a biker with "POLITE THINK BIKE" on his high visibility jacket, I noticed it very well as he overtook as I was going 30 on a tightish 30 road with an oncoming car making us both brake hard. Think bike? Think bloody bike? Think am I risking my life doing a ridiculous overtake? It's ok the damn cagers will think of me and just have to slow down as I break the speed limit where it's not nearly appropriate.
For a moment though I thought I honked at a police bike, I wondered if he was going to say anything when we reached the lights some 10 seconds later but it actually said polite.

They've been around a while, both bikes and Horsey riders.For a moment though I thought I honked at a police bike, I wondered if he was going to say anything when we reached the lights some 10 seconds later but it actually said polite.
The chap in the C class saloon who decided to cross the road on the wrong side, against the flow of rush hour traffic so he could be 3m meters closer to his favourite bakery.
To be fair to him he had some nice AMG badges on the side of this car AMG 3.2! Must be a limited run on the W204.

The idiot in the white i30 who drifted over into the oncoming lane of a single carriageway while I was overtaking and was in that lane right alongside. I only just made it through with dust kicked up from the opposing verge. The road was clear, arrow straight and they were driving at 40 in a NSL. Not sure if they had a problem with being overtaken or whether my old SAAB is just too mesmerising!
