it would seem to me that these days i am failing in my daily commute and upsetting people as I am not telepathic. that is i can't read their mind so I have no idea that when you wander into my lane whilst i am coming past you, i should have realised you wanted to cross 3 lanes to turn right at the next roundabout. although why you couldn't wait till i had gone past is beyond me as well? that's you Honda driving lady.

and i also didn't know that if your lane goes in road works, even though I am 1/3 of a cars length in front of you, and you are not giving a signal I should give way to you and let you go in front as a) you are way more important than me, and b)it would make it really awkward for you to get in front without me having to wiggle my car so you don't hit it, c) it would slow everyone down and obviously slowing down the stream of traffic is what we all want isn't it Subaru driver?

i apologise to everyone i have ever pissed off on the road, its due to defective genes and my inability to read minds.

mind me blowing a kiss to the driver of the Subaru probably never helped smile

You can't credit Australia with too much but an advert campaign they had is just what you need.

Raist your hand, draw in all fingers but your pinky and wiggle it from an "erect" to a "limp" position.

Stuns them every time !

I can't read minds either, so I just assume everyone else around me is a moron and it on the verge of doing something daft. That way, when I'm proved right, I'm not surprised or annoyed. Since I adopted this attitude, about 30 yrs ago, my driving experiences have been far less stressful. Going by your post, I suggest you give it a go.
