It's so frustrating. There's been plenty of times where I might be partially covering an entrance or drive due to bad planning or thinking 'oh, nobody is gonna want to use this entrance in the 50 seconds I'm sat here' and then someone comes along and if I CAN move it to allow more space I certainly will. Especially if the car wanting to turn is holding up traffic.
If it was me in the position of the mini, I'd have let me turn onto my drive and then carried on like normal. DRIVES ME INSANE.
People block the road leading to my work car park all the time while queuing for the nearby traffic lights. It has "KEEP CLEAR" painted in three foot high letters on the road, yet still they stop there. Unmarked entrances, you have no chance.If it was me in the position of the mini, I'd have let me turn onto my drive and then carried on like normal. DRIVES ME INSANE.

This - especially whatever the hell Nissan have fitted to their latest Qashqai models; more often than not I have to do a double take when I check my mirrors with one of these behind me as not only does it "flash" if it's completely pitch black (say country road or road without street lights) they seem to have have a very odd blue-ish tint which makes it seem like a police/ambulance/fire engine is behind you and trying to get past.
Whilst we're on the discussion of lights - what on earth is this latest "trend" of driving around at night with a combination of sidelights and fog-lights? (no dipped beam)? I can only imagine that the visibility (long distance) is terrible - and again as I do a fair bit of country road driving encountering these weapons grade knobs is even more annoying as the glare is very off putting, plus due to the location of fogs and indicators, it often means if they're on-coming and indicating - you don't see the indicator.
If I encounter one of these halfwits on well lit roads, I just think to myself "knob" and move on - but if I see them on-coming on poorly lit country roads I don't hesitate to repeatedly flash my own fog lights at them to get my point accross - purely because their own visibility must be s
te and the glare they cause to on-coming traffic is usually enough to cause accidents (as I said, you're unable to see indicators etc...).
I'm of the firm opinion that switching on the fog-lights should enable an accompanying warning buzzer (like a seatbelt warning), doesn't have to be as annoying, could only come on once every say 10 mins, but enough to make a numpty driving around with fogs on think twice.

It boils my piss too so you are not alone.
I imagine they think it somehow makes them look 'cool', but it doesn't, it makes them look s
t and I take some pleasure in giving them a 'your lights are not on mate' flash as I pass them.Europa1 said:

It's night. Me and another car are both down a tight side road. I decide to stop, reverse back into a space and let the guy through. He drives past me, no thanks, with his hood up and his head glued to a phone.
What a tt.
Had some tosser pull out of a side-on junction yesterday on the A1. He was on his phone and didn't even look. It's not like the A1' is a busy fast moving dual carriageway or anything. What a t
t.
Thank f
k my brakes were working and I was paying attention.Neighbours that come knocking (banging) on your front door demanding (rudely including swear words) that you move a car that's parked on the road and is evidently making it difficult for them to drive in & reverse out of their drive.
Why are they a knob? Because said moron came knocking on my door when the car has nothing to do with me and is actually a visitor for a neighbour 2 doors down from me They assumed that because the car was parked just to the right of my drive then it must belong to someone at my house and that banging on my door & swearing at me when the door was opened was the best way to resolve the situation
I did instruct them which house they should go to, but I guess after embarrassing themselves on my doorstep they decided that they didn't fancy knocking on the correct neighbours door and repeating thir actions - possibly because I was ready to grab the phone and film them
Oh and they didn't apologise for their behaviour towards me either

We bought my girlfriend her first car a couple of months ago. Nothing special, just a 1.2 punto, but it was perfect. Not a mark, serviced on the dot, one owner and 100,000 miles. £600 seemed a reasonable deal too.
She's waiting to pull out of a junction (one lane one way only) after just visiting the local retail park, and some absolute ahole goes around her, when there's clearly not enough room and not two lanes.. he obviously thinks she's taking too long, and in doing so, scrapes the entire side of his car along the front of hers taking the front wing, light, bumper and ruining the wheel/suspension in the process. I know it can be frustrating waiting for someone with P plates on, but the lad in question was a new driver himself it seems, and as a junction ive used hundreds of times even I wait patiently as its quite difficult to see cars coming and its a very busy road.
What an absolute impatient. And if that's not bad enough, gets out and shouts at her, until his very strict and angry Asian parents turn up give him a bking. Its lucky i wasn't there in a way, because I very much doubt I could manage to put up with that... Gladly he's ruined every single panel down the side of his car. Let's see if the idiot accepts liability shall we!
Knob!!!!

People who are so staggeringly unimaginative, or perhaps think that people might actually care, add their car's names or models to their personal plates i.e
SLK 1A
BMW 123B
Why does that wind you up...? If people can afford to do so then why not?SLK 1A
BMW 123B
Mis-spaced or altered plates however...
A state of mind perhaps, but not in a good way.
Vanity is conceit, whilst combing hair and ironing are everyday tasks that we all do without thinking.
Choosing a 'chav plate' takes much more thought and consideration and involves insecurity and esteem.
Something to get you noticed, where nobody noticed before.

After nearly collecting one (the first time) when he broke heavily as I followed him/her/it, this morning.
Id like to nominate all those people who do not know what the word 'Indicate' means in the English language.
Because using your indicators AFTER heavily braking and also AFTER you have already started turning down a side road isn't exactly letting people know in advance.
I'm fairly sure the traffic behind me probably thought I was some sort of loon, for decelerating and leaving lots of extra braking room in front, every time we came to a side turning - just in case.

s who only indicate left at roundabouts.Approaching from opposite sides of the roundabout, knob in the opposite direction doesn't indicate right to say he's taking the third exit and I'll have to give way, yet indicates left just as he's leaving the roundabout to no one at all.
A significant number of people don't indicate at all nowadays OR they'll indicate halfway through a maneouvre
