The queue of several impatient drivers behind me today who, whilst sat at an exceptionally long traffic light cycle, decided that blaring their horns + the guy behind me revving his engine and lurching his car forward, would get me to drive through a red light. Yes, I know you all thought the lights were broken, but as I had gone through two cycles in the queue I knew there was a good 3-4 minutes of waiting before about 10 secs on green lights for us.
Just before the lights cycled to green for us, two foot bobbies came round the corner and saw the guy behind me lurching his car. Right as the lights went green and I moved off and they stepped in front of the car behind and instructed him to pull over. Looked in my rearview at him making a hash of pulling into the pavement, blocking the cars behind him from getting past. So that's another 4 minutes of red lights for you impatient f
kers. Karma's a bh eh?

kers. Karma's a bh eh? leaving the BTCC yesterday was the usual carnage of lots of cars don't fit through the 1 gate cue lots of knobbers usually in Audi's, however most people did a "1 in - I go" type system except for the young lad in the white a-class who tried to block me. Unfortunately he was looking at his phone when the queue moved forwards allowed me in which made him very angry especially as I thanked him as I pulled in.
Further merriment on my behalf when the marshall stepped behind my car to let another line move and after he whined got the reply "boohoo I'm so important I need to be let through, you can wait like everyone else"

Funnily enough there was an Audi tw*t at Goodwood yesterday who seemed to have. Decided that squeezing between parked cars on his way out was better than staying in the queue. Then proceeded to drive like a total muppet until he pulled over to wait for his mate. What is it with car events bringing out some A class bell ends!
People who sit right on your bumper (usually driving some old sh*tbox) revving their engine when you are taking your time going over tall speed humps trying to make you drive over said hump quicker. The next time it happens I think I'll stop the car and ask them if they fancy paying to replace my suspension?
Or I could just slam it in reverse to see what the reaction is......

The prick in the A3 racing a clapped out old Vectra this evening. The Vectra comes bombing over the crest of a crossroad, way too fast for the junction. I pull out behind, as I check my mirrors accelerating away, the Audi appears over the crest at similar speed to the Vauxhall just prior. Unfortunately I'm now stuck as piggy in the middle, unfortunately for the Audi there is no overtaking opportunity for half a mile which happens to be where I'm turning off.
Audi boy comes racing up behind, within a couple of metres and on main beam. Given his proximity, I give an early indication for my turning, however Audi boy doesn't drop back, staying glued to my bumper. As I slow, he starts flashing and fishing for an overtake, despite oncoming traffic. He clearly couldn't see the concealed turning I was slowing for, as I was blocking his view. Eventually he overtakes, blaring the horn as I pull into my turning.
Audi A3? Check.
Tailgating? Check.
Being an aggressive tit? Check.
Weapons grade scumbag? Check.

The baby blue Focus RS I followed on Sunday from Bicester to Long Crendon. He/she decided to overtake twice with oncoming cars, the second time on a blind bend. Must have been worth it to tell everyone down the pub you 'destroyed' an Atom, knob 
I really hope it wasn't someone on here. Why do people put themselves in danger to claim a 'scalp' on the road. It's all very odd.

The woman going clockwise on the M25 last night in a Mitsubishi PHEV (16 plate) from J16 to J19 driving exactly 8 feet from the back of every car she could weave behind, frequently changing lanes in and out to overtake and undertake. She then did the same down the A41...
It made me think the brakes must be unbelievable to pull up in that distance at 60mph, then I thought: KNOBETTE..

The late '50's couple on the Waterloo to Exeter St Davids direction train this morning.
1 - If you're going to eat on a packed train, at least make sure your food isn't going to stink out the entire carriage within 5 minutes of boarding.
2 - Nobody on the carriage wants to hear every single crunch and bite while you're stuffing your face.
3 - Following on from 2, nobody wants to hear you smecking your lips and mouth in an attempt to clear any remaining food detritus from your teeth / gums.
4 - Nobody wants to hear you noisily slurp from your coffee / water bottle every time you have a drink.
Sticking with the same couple referenced above.
When you leave a train it's normally a good idea to step onto the platform and then move away from the carriage so other people can get off, rather than just stopping dead after stepping down onto the platform and then loudly complaining when the people behind bump into you, and nearly knock you over, whilst leaving the carriage.
Also, when leaving a busy Salisbury station it's normally a good idea to ensure you have your ticket ready so that you can put it through the auto barrier. Don't stop dead at the barriers, fanny around in your bags trying to find your ticket(s), and again audibly complain about the people behind / around you trying to get past so they can get off the platform and out of the station without being held up and causing a congested queue.

The rollin' coal BMW E46 on the A47 earlier racing a flatbed truck. The truck overtook me doing about 85 and the BMW was going at least 100mph. I couldn't read the number plate due to the smoke it was chucking out.
If you're going to drive at those kinds of speed don't leave a Hansel and Gretle smoke trail so you can be followed from space.
