One single thing that makes you think "knob"

You assume that the other driver intends to stick at the same speed on the motorway and that rigidly sticking to a single speed on the motorway is a good thing in and of itself.
I'm saying that maybe the other driver is intentionally varying their speed between say 80mph downhill and 65mph uphill in order to save petrol.
Not everyone who drives in a different manner to you is an idiot. Some people will drive at 55mph on the motorway, others 140mph. They all have their reasons which may not have been disclosed to you.
Well, we all have our opinions. If you do continuously change your speed, I'll still think you're a knob. Plus, I think there's quite a difference between slowing down and speeding up on hills, and yoyo-ing your speed on a completely flat, straight, featureless motorway.I'm saying that maybe the other driver is intentionally varying their speed between say 80mph downhill and 65mph uphill in order to save petrol.

heads going past you then slowing down, or sitting in your blind spot endlessly until you need to change lanes and can't that I end up just doing a nice 85 - 90 ish so you get to sail past them all. Almost every time I try to stick to 70 I feel like I've put myself into the dozey dhead driver zone.Dave
The BMW driver (520d, reg MD60 ***) who decided to undertake a line of traffic and then drift across into my lane heading south on the Tyne Bridge tonight at approximately 16:15 during rush hour without indicating. Luckily for me, the person behind managed to stop in time before slamming into the back of me when I had to brake harshly.
And for reference, Mr BMW driver, when I sounded my horn that was not a request for you to stick your hand out the window and acknowledge the lane change as if I had just let you in. Had you spent more time using your mirrors, and indicators, than talking to your passenger you might have noticed that it was to point out that you were in fact about to hit me.
And the irony? Had he indicated, I would have let him in anyway.
fking idiot. And wash you car, it was a disgrace.

As a powertrain cooling engineer, this makes me rage.It's a pity that engines derate these days rather than just overheating and dying. Idiots.

Exactly my feelings too Dave, and I also drive 85-90 to keep out of the way.heads going past you then slowing down, or sitting in your blind spot endlessly until you need to change lanes and can't that I end up just doing a nice 85 - 90 ish so you get to sail past them all.

The nob rot that just stopped in his ing white van and just whacked his hazards on and fked off to the shops in Stansted high street this morning during rush hour/school run blocking traffic in one direction.
Thanks to the MILF in her people carrier who eventually let the cars waiting behind the tosser around the van where as all the wkers in there German rep mobiles all happily did the awkward tosser stare in any direction but to those waiting behind the fking van knowing they could quite easily stopped on their way to their dead end jobs for 30 seconds to let some cars past.

Wait until the road is clear you fking pleb. Do not block an entire side of the road and cause a huge tailback because you can't be arsed waiting.

I was in the lane he was trying to get into but we were nose to tail (not literally, no one was driving like a ) but there was no space for a smart car let alone a truck. Yet the tosser pulls out and blocks the other way which was a 50 mph road with the T junction over a crest, so realising the danger we all stopped to let the tosser out.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
