Completely absent Police force.
Hence why people won't even intervene when they see something plainly wrong happening right in front of them.

Probably just dumped it there whilst they headed off to William Hill to place a few bets.

Happened the week before Christmas when i picked my mum up from an appointment. Ended up getting stuck in the parking / turning area in front of the shops as Mr Meathead todger in his blinged up RR dumped himself blocking the entrance / exit point whilst he shot into the bookies. His "faaaaark orrrrf, arl ownly be a cuppla minits" comment shouted at another driver was actually circa 10 minutes by the time he returned, laughed and pulled onto the road without looking, narrowly missing a guy on his motorbike rolleyes
I know this sounds all "oohhhh aren't I a hard man" but a response like that could quite possibly drive me to violence. I truly don't understand how the hell they see that reaction as acceptable, it's beyond selfish ignorance.

Wasn't me, I wasn't in London a couple of days ago, ya can't pin it on me coppa!!!! nono
I was trying to highlight what can happen when 'revenge driving' occurs. A serious incident reduced to ridicule.

I understood completely what you were getting at, but my original response remains, these cretins continue to do exactly as they fking well please safe in the knowledge that very few people will confront them about their ignorant, self important behaviour, because as pointed out many times there is an insufficient police presence and very little in the way of comeback when they do turn around and become confrontational, I nearly always back down when I have my wife with me as I would never want her to become involved, when I'm on my own I will generally say something, however, and here's the important bit, the defining bit, I will weigh up the situation and descalate the situation if I feel it's not going to go my way.

As the resident expert on all things road rage, can you share how many times that you yourself were stabbed to death last year.

Because, there is a definite trend in your posts insisting that any altercation with another road user will result in death.

It would be nice if you could share with everyone how you came to be the foremost expert on the experience, if not through your own repeated personal experience??

Local Sainsburys:



Just down the road from me.



The Vauxhall had been there at least 2 hours, and I suspect related to the van it was parked next to. I'd driven past it on the way to work, and it was still there when I got back when I went home ill. The space in front of it was taken when I'd left.

I am an expert on many things. The Hong Kong mass transit system / Corn Flakes of the world / The films of Quentin Tarantula among others.

But drivingrage , sadly not. I was merely commenting on a fellow posters admission that he could easily be drawn into said rage. I replied with rapier speed to tell of an alleged road rage murder.

That is all.coffee

Indeed.

That probably explains the fixation.
