One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 3
Discussion
Many moons ago my local town got a KFC, was quite exciting for 17 year old me. I found it quite funny, that if you removed said KFC from the face of the earth, you could still tell exactly where it had been because there were chicken boxes discarded all over town. You could piece them back together like an explosion crime scene, with the "restaurant" being at the Epicentre of this greasy WMD.
Just driving home from Chepstow to Coleford on the B4228 and was followed the whole time by a real nasty piece of work - a British Gas driver that spent the 20 minute drive so close that at times I couldn't even see his headlights in my rear view mirror. Pitch black, country roads covered in wet leaves and drizzling. I tried to give him opportuntiy to pass me but he was obviously enjoying trying to bully me to much.
Ah well, complained to British Gas anyway, even though I'm sure they'll ignore me. Never actually done that before, but sometimes a good moan serves a purpose.

No idea how much further back in the thread the full unedited post was. Apologies for misinterpretation of the material available.
The number of doors issues if you're trying to load a little person the last thing you want to do is have to walk into the street and put them in the other side so frustration understood.
But lamp posts tend to be round and picking the bike up, rotating it round so you can access your vehicle would have been a more logical step.
Little chap was indeed my issue, the base for his seat is a permanent fixture & leaning over from other side impossible. Bike could only be rotated a few degrees toward front of car & did not afford room for access as I could not open rear door enough.The number of doors issues if you're trying to load a little person the last thing you want to do is have to walk into the street and put them in the other side so frustration understood.

Has your car only one door? Mine has several. Might be a pain for you to use another door, if it has another door to use, but it's much more of an inconvenience to get back to your bike to discover someone has stolen it.
I have only 1 door that is adjacent to the baby seat base that I needed to use & trying to lean across & having other door open is hardly the answer or safe.Why would using the cycle racks on the other side of street make it any easier to steal the bike?
Cyclist was a knob..... End of.
Driving up and down the same bit of urban dual carriageway for no apparent reason (no massive groups of fans at the roadside, no special event on) like the guy in the black Lambo Aventador Roadster in Aberdeen just now, doing laps between the roundabouts on Anderson Drive...
Yes mate, I get it, you've got a nice car, it goes well with the other supercars in Aberdeen (Enzo, Veyron, various Maccas and Lambos) - so why not take it for a proper drive somewhere? I've seen a couple of small groups of drivers today who obviously have been already (3 x mx-5 together, 2 x E46 M3 and 911 Turbo), unless you're too scared to get it dirty?
FFS you could've saved £xxx,000 if all you wanted to do was drive at 40-50mph...

Nice little encounter this morning on my way home. I was about to turn left from the old A47 onto Church road Terrington St John. Looked behind me and see a pair of HiD's, put my left arm out straight to signal, pull a little bit to the right to avoid the drain cover just inside the junction. As normal.
Mr SUV decided to overtake and turn left into the same junction I was already a quarter of the way round myself.
"You stupid
TWUNT!"
Mr SUV pulls over a little bit ahead and gets out to confront me.
"What's the problem?"
"Apart from you just trying to run me over as I turned into this road nothing".
"I thought you wanted to stop".
"What?"
"Why did you have your arm out then?"
Then I noticed something very important.
"It's called a hand signal". Put my bike on the ground.
"It's the same as the indicators you are too to use because you are so thick you actually went out and bought a Nissan QASH QAI!"
He took a few steps backward, fell on his arse, got up as quickly as he could, ran back to his vehicle and drove off like he had landed on a wasp.
A car pulled up behind and the driver asked if everything was alright.
"Yeah, fine. Good morning. Thanks for stopping".

why would it have mattered if he'd used indicators, if it panned out the way you've described it? Surely he cut across you, so not sure why indicating would have helped?Mr SUV decided to overtake and turn left into the same junction I was already a quarter of the way round myself.

Watched a lorry driver actively try and block traffic on a slip-road this morning in slow moving traffic. Someone in an older Clio was desperate to merge as far along the slip as possible so went around him, lorry driver actually swerved across, looked like he was trying to ram him off the road. Utter berk.

Have we had chucking rubbish out of car windows in car parks?
Waiting for my daughter at Gillingham ice rink (which seems to attract chavs for some reason) the other night and a crappy Golf pulls in with a couple of geezers on board.
Within a couple of minutes fish and chip boxes, drinks cans and an empty poverty pack of 10 cigarettes box came flying out the window.
The thing that made me wonder about the future of the human race was that after having a slash in a bush, they drove about 20 meters to park outside the door in a disabled bay away from their pile of rubbish and went inside to I'm assume go ice skating.
Why would you make the place you live or places you visit etc look like a complete toilet when there's a bin a few meters away.
Luckily for them I'd had a hard day dominating a staircase and being a powerfully built company director so left them to it.

I was at McDonalds the other day and managed to witness no less than 4 people, of various ages, races and income levels (judging by what they were driving) dump all of their st out of the window, despite several bins in close proximity.By the third time I'd had enough and challenged a bloke in his late 30's in a new Merc about it and was told to f
k off.I really despair sometimes
Now you know why the central hall never show a nativity play at Christmas.

Hidden within the rant and Section five offenses. He didn't indicate right to overtake, he didn't indicate left when he tried to knock me off and he didn't indicate left when he pulled over to have a go. To be honest I'm surprised it took me as long as it did to realise it was a CrashQai owner. 
People who think it's OK to dangerously tailgate in the rain. 
Particularly when coming up to traffic lights that are about to change and said fktards are still accelerating and have to (a) slam on their brakes, narrowly avoiding writing off my car( yes, I'm talking about you, Mr BMW 320d this morning, not sure why you felt the need to blare your horn and give me the coffee beans as stopping at a red signal is a legal requirement BTW (b) desperately swerve around you and partially mount a pavement (Yes, I'm talking about you,Mr Mercedes A180 on Monday evening) as they are just assuming that I'll jump the red light and not obey traffic laws.
BTW, these are just to examples of people doing this in the last week alone, and it's probably only a matter of time before one of these tts runs out of luck and piles into the back of me.

Knobby type this morning who raced up behind people, chopped and changed lanes at speed to end up two cars ahead.
Once we hit the daily tailback at the lights he or she was left way behind. I eventually saw them pull into my lane about 7 cars back.
So well done. Your aggression and bad driving LOST you time. Hopefully the average speed cameras work too and youll get a tidy fine for it.

A couple of plonkers over the past couple of days with zero lights on in the morning in the complete dark (with no excuse about street lights either). An old school Picasso (of the Xsara era) was possibly the worst, I only saw it because it was blocking out the headlights from the car behind otherwise totally invisible.
I did my usual trip upto Nottinghamshire today via the m11, a1.
The standards of driving are always fairly poor but it seemed to be particularly bad today.
One which really stands out was a daft bit in black 64 plate golf.
A couple of the service stations south of Grantham have slip roads onto the main carriageway that are only a few feet long literally 2 or 3 car lengths.
Friday afternoons are busy and this daft bint thinks its a good idea to pull onto the main carriageway from a standing start right in front of me, i was doing 75 and i could not move into lane 2 as i was being overtaken.
I had to ram the brakes on activating the abs the guy next to me braked as well i think in case i collected the golf.
She pulled away slowly with my nearly needing a change of underwear and probably minis a bit of tyre rubber.
When i overtook her i got the 'What's up look'
You stupid bint you nearly got rammed at 70 mph.

Oddly, same thing happened to me today, also on the A1. Daft old bint pulled in front of me onto the slip road I was already on then slammed on the anchors when she realised she actually wanted to be back over onto the motorway as (presumably) she'd taken the wrong exit. She dropped from circa 60 to 20 and I nearly ended up having to be surgically removed from her anus.You stupid bint you nearly got rammed at 70 mph.
I have her a good horn blasting which was met with a confused look - she pulled back onto the motorway at the last possible second and nearly wiped out the traffic already in L1 to make way for her.
Driving like that I give her a couple of weeks before she dies horrifically.
