M1, higher percentage of idiots per mile?
Discussion
Travelled over 300 miles on the M1 in the last 2 days, up to Barnsley/Sheffield and back to Herts and noticed the number of total idiots on that particular road, for example I'm travelling back this afternoon doing a steady 80 in Lane 3 in a long line of traffic with about 5-6 car lengths in front of me.
Penis in a Land Rover in lane 2 decides to pull straight out in front of me doing circa 50 causing me to jump on the anchor peddle and make every other car behind me do the same, in protest I flashed my lights once and shook my head in a diasapproving manner.
He then pulls back in after this pointless manouveur and as I go past he's gesticulating at me out the window, sadly I gave in to this and invited him in for coffee on the way past in reply.
Why did he do it...do these pricks just not use their mirrors???

Maybe because they are travelling too slowly to feel
the need to concentrate on what they are doing.
Radio 4 on, drift away and concentrate on the Archers.
Wake up at their destination. You know the type.
I listen to Radio 4 now and again, but I don't find it necessary to follow the 'maneouvre, signal, mirror?' doctrine. It's not just the M1, although there are countless examples there. On my way into Southampton this time last week, I was behind a Chrylser Idon'tknowhowtouseacondom or something, which decided to straight line a roundabout. Only problem was by that time I was alongside him. Cue horn and lights, then me overtaking on the dual stretch to get away from this tit. I don't take things like this personally - i'd warned him I was there, end of story. But as I steadily creep away down the road, he starts flashing me repeatedly. This kind of thing baits me i'm afraid - you've been highlighted as a bit of a dunce, just deal with it and try better next time rather than picking a fight. So I gestured 'what?' out of the window, at which point he starts steaming towards me, so I wait till he's about to come alongside and jump on the anchors and turn off into a side street. Might have looked like running away, but I prefer to think of it as guile.
Bottom line, idiots are everywhere - be ready. (I mean with appropriate culling tools, not mentally)
