Seems fair: You broke spelling protocol for braking in a car.

Facebook have removed my for sale post on a track day page as it...

"Displays images of excessive speed".

...I never knew speeding on a race track was an issue.

When you consider Turkish soldiers being burned alive, decapitations, child pornography, extreme animal cruelty, Nazism, radicalisation hate speech and other vile stuff is within the Facebook community standards it has to make you think knob.

Zuckerberg and his wker hanger ons are basically tts!

Anyhow......people who shout out their car window at pedestrians minding their own business....ie me.

Just STFU ,leave me alone and grow up.....

They soon st it if you walk towards them when they get stuck in traffic. I suggest breaking a window, showering them all in glass

This is ironic.

Years ago I worked with an Iranian/German guy who used to wrote "Break Disks"

AFAIK no one ever made fun of him in a knobbish fashion since we knew what he meant.

Used to "wrote".
Sorry, couldn't resist when discussing grammar Nazism.

Well, if you're gonig to be naughty, best do it really sharpish. Blink and you'll miss it. Never really happened. It was like that when I got here.

Never mind. Have a cup of tea.

Currently very popular round here to pull out from a side road when something's coming, because obviously they've got to stop.
Happened yesterday in Flitwick, residential area so only 30, but I had to slow to 15 when someone pulled out on the car in front of me. I was vexed on their behalf!

Today in my own village same thing happened, although I was further back. Half of me respects the people who don't react for being serene and above all that but half of me thinks they're door mats.

No, there is no point getting wound up, sounding the horn, that makes two people raged up. That state of play could continue for miles.

Me, for not checking my blind spot properly while changing lanes on the motorway this afternoon and nearly going into the side of another car.

Fair play. Riding a motorcycle would have ensured you never do that!

The driver earlier today, who after making an illegal u-turn at Haymaking Station in Edinburgh to pick up their mate outside the station proceeded to drive Westbound down the tram tracks! They then panicked at the approaching Eastbound tram, blocking the Westbound tram's progress.

Hopefully caught on both tram's CCTV.

In truth,

I don't think the 8o's Break dancing craze would've taken off if everybody stood on a bit of cardboard and..

.. stopped still for a few minutes.

Very interesting phone in on R5live this morning. All about road rage. Some horrific examples from callers. A police officer taking part argued very positively that, in these situations, NO gestures, NO following, NO confrontations, you just don't know what the other driver will do, or if they have some kind of weapon. I realise that this advice has been offered before on PH, but after the tragic event on the M25 on Friday, a reminder is well received by us all.

Sensible point. After almost getting run off my bike by a white van man in Glasgow last week, I proceeded to chap on his passenger door at the next set of lights to remonstrate. Luckily he was very apologetic, but I realised later that two young Glaswegians in a white van may not be quite as calm and measured the next time...

There was the absolute pillock a while back who, after tailgating me for obeying the speed limit (GPS as well!), decided to try undertaking me on a roundabout by going into the wrong lane! I didn't respond very maturely, by accelerating the best I could and trying to force him to go down the wrong (well, right, from his lane choice) road. He managed to cut me up. Alas, there is a fine line between being a doormat and being a pillock yourself.

I wonder if somewhere there's a bloike with a Leon FR saying


"There was some cock on the A38 today driving in the outside lane at 70 and wouldn't move over into the empty lane to his left, since apparently He wasn'y going to speed and he was going to be full road captain and stop anyone else from breaking the limit"

[anonymous-user]

the work car where i work is a 8 year old korean small car(not sure what make), looks like a tip, done 222k but drives spot on.
the amount of hatred it gets is unbelievable, i drive at 60-70 as for work in the inside lane, but still get knobheads right up my arse when lane 2 is clear. People pulling in front just before a roundabout, then braking. never seem to get so much agro in other cars.

The bloke sat in lane 4 of the motorway earlier when there was nothing in lanes 1-3. Undertook him in lane 1 and he continued in lane 4 for as far as I could see in my mirrors. What possibly goes through the heads of people that do this?

Nothing. Nothing goes through their heads, thats the problem.

Agree. Sat alongside one guy the other day whilst overtaking on the inside at 70 and he was focused straight ahead, no clue whatsoever that there were 4 or 5 cars behind him waiting for him to move over. Even more frustrating when people 'show them the way' by overtaking and moving over to lane 1 and they continue to sit there oblivious

[Solocle]

Guy like that a week or two ago on the A303. Slow in L2. I sat behind him for a few seconds, giving him chance to move over. He didn't. So, careful undertake it was (not 90 mph!). Hand ready to hit the horn if he didn't check his blind spot.
Surprisingly, he got the message. In my mirrors I saw him move into L1!
