The driver of X22 HAD, a white Audi A7 with black wheels that accelerates like its a grand prix start whenever he drives around the corner where my BMW M4 is parked, seems to be a big bore corsa/saxo thing but he does it in his big boring diesel, doesn't do it when my other cars are parked there though, the street is only about 20 meters long.
although, I do tend to think "bell end" rather than knob
The same meaning, surely? (minus a few inches.)although, I do tend to think "bell end" rather than knob
Twunt in the burgundy Jag sat up my chuff this morning down the A1 and roads into town.
Also, the muppet having a house party last night and the silly cow standing in said muppet's garden screaming and shouting to all hours of the morning way beyond 1 AM. I hate to be a kill joy but for god sake have some respect. I was close to going round and throttling the stupid cow at one point.

Biker, on a blind bend, practicing his IOM moves and was leaning over at 40 degrees, actually had his head and shoulders over the white line and into my lane.
I'm lost for
This could go either way. You missed the most important info. Knee down is a given, but did he have his elbow down?I'm lost for
40 degrees wouldn't be enough to give the hero blobs on his foot pegs a shave so I'm leaning towards the biker was indeed a knob.
It'll have been some crap on the outside of the corner. Popping his head over the line isn't to be commended but it's not exactly knob status either. You see worse cutting of corners from regular traffic daily.

To be fair it is a 3.0 BiTDI so it will be quite quickalthough, I do tend to think "bell end" rather than knob
Pedaled over to the cash machine, from then on I was heading to the shops. Followed a prius driver who came out of a parking spot for half a mile at this time of night with none of his headlights on. Passed 4!! police cars (2 of which were driving) and none of them gave a crap, even as I pointed towards the driver.

Was the Prius driving in an area (e.g. outwith a 30mph zone ) where headlight use is compulsory at night?- fkthepolice.

Motorcyclist on my commute this morning. Stuck in a ~5mph crawl on a wide, 40mph single carriageway I moved to the RHS of my lane to allow a cyclist to filter on my left. Sometime after I was already established at this position, motorcyclist comes into view in my mirror, too late to adjust to the left without baulking cyclist so I hold position. Motorcyclist gets on his horn, furious throttle blipping in neutral, and a close pass 8" off my front wing presumably to indicate his displeasure that I didn't facilitate his overtake? Maybe he should have used some of the legendary motorcyclist situational awareness to realise that being undertaken and overtaken simultaneously limits the ability to manouvre? Knob.
Similar to above.
Passing a line of parked cars along a short urban dual carriageway (so only one lane usable) when a motorbike starts undertaking me on my nearside between me and the parked cars.
As if that wasn't knobbish enough, he does it just as the line of parked cars ends and the nearside lane becomes "available" again so right at the point where cars are going to be changing back to the left lane, but he manages to position himself right in my blind spot!
Some people reeeeally don't help themselves, do they?

A 12 plate Fiat 500 with no working brake lights, nearly caught me out when the indicated and braked at the last second. What is particularly knobbish is that I would put money on a 12 plate 500 having a brake light failure warning on the dashboard, and all three of them don't go at the same time, I think she's ignored the warning and eventually they've all gone.

Either that or more likely the switch behind the brake pedal has stopped working meaning that no warning on the dash comes up and the brake lights won't come on - but probably best to think the worse of people...Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
