k up about it now.I'd like to nominate the absolute fkwit middle-aged woman driving a 14-reg Tiguan at the railway station earlier, who very nearly drove into the side of my stationary car when pulling away from the drop-off zone without indicating or looking.
Then five seconds later, did exactly the same to a Transit van.
Surely nearly having one accident would compel you to be aware enough of your surroundings to not have another in exactly the same circumstances within quite literally a few seconds? Apparently not.

To the kind of person who has that accident (I'll bet my fortune he was on the phone) its never their fault, the other car shouldn't have been there so there is no need for them to even contemplate assessing their own behaviour.kwit middle-aged woman driving a 14-reg Tiguan at the railway station earlier, who very nearly drove into the side of my stationary car when pulling away from the drop-off zone without indicating or looking.

Mr roundabout hesitation. After 3 attempts of not moving, I beeped him once. Only for him to throw his dummies out the pram and sit there. I went past him, a millennial, he had opened his window mouthing whatever rubbish. If he gets so upset by a beep I dread to think how he lives. I liked the fact as I went around him he speed off so I guess he was just being a tt for fk all sake.

I don’t know whether this is best is this or the person I want to punch thread!
My wife is diabetic.... type 1. Yesterday she went to my daughters school for a early year seven parents even to see how the kids are getting on.
About half way through a chat with one of the teachers, she went into a rather dramatic hypo. Lucozade and glucose tunes did nothing so the teacher quite rightly called 999, and then called me.... I was at work!
I shot straight to the school to see Lynn in quite a bad way. She had been put in a wheelchair and was out side in the car park as they waited for the paramedics. Lynn was conscious but non responsive. I have seen this before and hence was concerned but not overly worried IYKWIM!
Ambulance turns up, parks in one of the lanes to the car park. Paramedics treat Lynn there and then initially, but soon put her in the ambulance as her temp dropped quite significantly.
Eventually the paramedics wanted to take her to hospital, so we’re making preparations to do so!
It’s then I realise there are a couple of cars waiting to get by.
So with the help of one of the teachers, we move a couple of those slot in bollards and make room for these to drive over the pavement.
Imagine my surprise when a woman in one of these cars stops as she drives by, and with a lot of arm waving rants at me about why this was taking so long and that she had to get Caden home (I kid you not) for his dinner.
When i apologised and explained my wife had collapsed and was being treated, she said (and I quote) it doesn’t take that fking long!
I am embrassed to say I responded by saying I hope she gets syphillis!

This.How would you feel if you got an NIP for exceeding the limit, simply because you did so to allow the gross speeder/tailgater to get by you? the gross speeder /tailgater clearly couldn't give a monkeys whether or not he got done for speeding/tailgating, but getting a speeding fine yourself, for helping him to do so is clearly even dumber.

k herself, ignorant witch!!!The world class dildo on the McDonalds roundabout on the A505 near Royston this morning, who decided to stop in the inside lane just on the exit of the roundabout. I couldn't see whether they had stopped to used their mobile or because they were lost. One thing were most certainly were was colossally stupid - one of the approaches to the roundabout is also dual carriageway, but offset from the exit where this drooling inadequate was parked. Accordingly, there is no clear view of the exit, yet you do get people entering the roundabout at a fair lick, who got a nasty shock as they came round to exit.

Thanks! She is just battered but she was allowed home late last night! Portsmouth hospital far slicker and efficient than Cornwall.... I was very impressed! I suppose they need to be considering how busy these city hospitals get!Hope the wife is ok?
My apology was quite sarcastic! But ranting and swearing and whatnot is just not on in the school grounds!
Plus I did not want my stressed daughter (who saw the Mrs go over) here me rant like that!
I am not saying I did not want to rant at her. I was very controlled!!!!

I fully expect to be on a dashcam video some time soon.
Driving through a 30 zone today, no issues, get to a 50 zone, so start to accelerate, not fast, just normal acceleration. As I do so, the car behind decides now is the time to overtake, except he struggles to get level with me, let alone overtake me.
Nice straight road, as I settle at 50, he comes alongside, what I presume to be his wife in the passenger seat is bouncing up up and down angrily, pointing to a dashcam, and shouting CAMURRRAH CAMURRRAH. He then gets in front as I'm sat at 50, and he finally has enough power to overtake me.
Not quite sure why the anger, he must have anticipated that I would speed up.

What a coincidence that this thread has popped up again!
Knobs = drivers who see it fit to drive at 50mph on two lane motorways like, for example. the M54. I'm looking at you in the 1995 Corolla on my way in to work, and you in the '54 plate Zafira on the way back.
Koonts, the pair of you
