One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 3
Discussion
Pootling along at thirty in a thirty zone when I was caught up but an archetypal woman in an Audi A4 Avante diesel. Full HP spec' black with limo' black rear windows and logo on the number plates.
No issue there, drive as fast as you like it's your license.
Sat on my back bumper for a while.
Again no real issue there either. I know what I'm doing and it'll be your insurance that pays out if I have to stop in a hurry.
No the thing I found disturbing was the fact there was a two-three year old jumping up and down on the front seat, no belt, no booster; no
clue.
Being a bad driver is a life choice, you're putting yourself and other road users at risk. Not strapping your child in safely while you are being a bad driver is being a seriously parent.
I pulled over and let her overtake instead of putting the child at risk if I had to stop in a hurry for anything. I was half way up the thirty road when she reached the end so must have been doing at least sixty, with a child loose up front.

So by pulling over and letting her pass you allowed her to drive at least 60 in a 30 thus making it potentially more dangerous for the kiddie jumping about in the front.No issue there, drive as fast as you like it's your license.

Kind of ironic really
There is weak bridge near me with a width and weight restriction to stop overly heavy vehicles from crossing and weakening it further. Chap in an Italian food delivery truck didn't seem to think that restriction applied to him so he drives up on the kerb to pass through the narrowed restricted channel.

The cock on the a38 devon in the Leon fr undertaking at around 90 to 100mph. What a !!
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"
king road captain, far from it in fact. That driver was completely reckless. I just hope that when he eventually crashes he doesn't take anyone else with him like he nearly did when he pulled the same move on another car a few hundred yards further up the road.Monkeylegend said:

If the kids got forcefully integrated with an Audi air vent/screen after their scum mother drove like a Kind of ironic really
, it wouldn't even graze my conscience. I'd feel not one jot of remorse. The kids would only turn out to be more brainless scum anyway, like the parents.Let 'em get on with it. Like me, I daresay the OP has their own s

Also guy in a 320d who was weaving through traffic on a DC like a maniac, cutting people up all over the place. He did nearly get himself crushed by an artic at a roundabout though as he shot up the inside and had to slam on because it was taking a much wider line than he expected.

As for letting Dawin sort them out I'm sue it's only a matter of time but the blood won't be on my hands.

My take is that Rich is badly explaining that some Leon driver is doing just that.
Driving to Penzance last night, heading west, sun is quite low and very bright, going through a bit that was 20mph because of loose chippings. Car behind me with a couple of young ladies in was right up my exhaust pipe itching to get by. Now I am probably just over the 20mph - road is quite wide and I hang left as far as possible when cars pass going the other way. Apart from them behind, all good so far.
Now we leave the loose chippings bit, and slowly increase speed (there is a car in front of me - we make reasonable progress. Car behind (silver 207 I think) decides to over take. Now I notice it is going to be a bit tight as there are a number of cars coming the other way, and quickly decide I need to slow to allow her to pass. But I lose her in my blind spot - and she is taking ages to come past - cars coming the other way are getting dangerously closer - I glance right and she is sat on my shoulder, obviously on the wrong side of the road.
I immediately hit the brakes - and slow to an almost stop - but so does she! Remember I cannot see her in the mirrors - and when I realise what she is doing I stop braking and accelerate and she tucks back in behind just in time - cars coming the other way all honk in disapproval. She is waving coffee beans at me etc.
Anyway, half mile down the road - we hit a round about - with windows down she pulls alongside and enters a massive rant - apparently I am a fking loony and my mum is a we!

Surely if some other knob is not in the wrong lane then it would be impossible to undertake?!!If someone carefully and safely undertakes I don't care. But MLMs and others who sit out in an overtaking lane while crawling along get on my nerves.
The plonker in the Caravelle this morning who was in his own little world as I tried (and failed) to make him aware of his rear tyre being flat as a fart, behind flash, flash, point down and mouth flat, beside him, window down, beep of the horn, nope, just kept banging away at his steering wheel to whatever he was listening to.
How the hell do you not know your tyre is that flat? I thought the Jag last night was feeling a little spongy on turn in, did the tyres this morning before setting off to work and they're down a pound, if I can feel the difference of a pound or two in pressure how do you blunder on not feeling 30-odd?

Me and the idiot behind me last night.
Nose to tail traffic, but moving along circa 10mph. Mondeo man behind me sets of my parking sensors whilst moving he's that close. He then backs of a bit. Gets close enough to set them off again, then backs off. Last time he does it, the parking alert screen goes red, indicating he's about 6 inches off my arse. I can't even see his lights, only the top half of his bonnet. I see the red mist and hit the brakes once he backs off a little. Cue the fist waving and angry gestures. Recognised his license plate (once I could finally see it) and saw his car in the works car park today.

I hate it when people set off the parking sensors in traffic. Shows they're just way too close. Mine only activate when they're about a metre away.Nose to tail traffic, but moving along circa 10mph.
