One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 3
Discussion
Total Cock Socket in a Bentley GTC last evening. (50ish, fat, bald & tattooed with hood down)
Approaching a red light CS decides to overtake a bus, using full kick down, that is already moving from the Bus Stop to L2 of the junction to turn right. CS realises, at the last second, the light is red so anchors up & ends up straddling the junction stopping other traffic crossing & leaving bus straddling all lanes too.
Lights change & CS races off at full chat & 14 cars later, yes i did count them, goes into a petrol station!!

Drove to Eastbourne and back yesterday and the drive was terrible. People doing 45 in NSL 60 and 70 roads. Solid white lines meant no overtaking.
An 'Ambulance' Izuzi pickup thing, G reg with Ambulance written on the bonnet in green, tailgating me up the M23 - no blues on, no sirens, doubt it was a real ambulance and I was following traffic at 85 with no opportunity to pull in and it was still sitting on my bumper, accelerating and then letting off and I assume trying to intimidate me. Out of principle I kept that thing behind me for 30 miles and eventually the stupid woman driving it left the motorway, straight from Lane 3 to the slip might I add.
1 person who didn't have the confidence to move from Lane 1 to Lane 2 as Lane 1 was becoming the slip road to the M25, sat there indicating for a good mile or so, then the car in front of that one brakes down to 30 MPH to do the same thing and wait for a suitable gap. Poor poor road planning and dangerous driving. In those instances I would have no problem with driving over hatched areas etc if it meant being safe and out of the way... People were having to pull into the hard shoulder to avoid them.
Then the woman who on a roundabout was creeping into my Lane, She was in Lane 1 and I was in Lane 2 of a 3 lane roundabout so I tooted her to wake her up, just a small quick beep. Then as I got in front she blasted her horn back at me when I was perfectly in my lane... She then chased me and tailgated me down the A road until she turned off.
Today, I have the pleasure of driving from London to Manchester via Daventry today.
I wonder how many more of these incidents I'll see... Tempted to put my GoPro in my car as a dash cam.

Knobs seem to be out in force today, the sunshine must bring 'em out...
Firstly the altercation between the grey Hyundai i40 estate and grey 5 Series on the M42 at J3a about half an hour ago. The idiot in the i40 wanders out into the lane three without first checking any mirrors whatsoever, the BMW who was coming up behind, perhaps at a rate of knots not entirely suitable for the amount of traffic on that particular stretch of motorway at the time but anyway, the Hyundai leaves no option for the BMW but to aim for the gap between the Hyundai and central reservation. Given that there's about three feet of rocky gravel stuff between the tarmac edge and the barrier, the BMW did well to retain control I thought as he had two wheels in the rocks and two wheels on the tarmac, just inches either side between Korean ditherer and metallic wall. I'm sure some vehicles travelling opposite direction would have been hit by some dust and gravel being kicked up. The BMW successfully gets all four wheels back to the tarmac, then proceeds to brake check the Hyundai, before roaring away. I watched all of this in my rear view mirror, shame I don't have a camera or something.
Second idiot, builders type flatbed Transit exiting the M42 J2, lots of traffic queuing on the exit slip in L2 for the services, L1 clear for Redditch and Birmingham. He straddles the middle initially, then goes for L1, enters the roundabout, goes for L2, just as I get cut up by a minibus Transit who isn't interested in indicators, or perhaps altering course when they hear a horn blasting them. The builders transit then moves back to L1, before going back to L2.. Just pick a lane!?
However, most of this was offset prior to seeing a particulary nice, well-looked after Citroen C6 wafting along the M42.

The bald in a 325Ciin Shenfield yesterday. Pulled away slowly from the lights, stops, pulls away again, stops again then hangs out of his door shouting at me for daring to use my horn.
Oh, then just sits there in the middle of the road for about a minute, holding everyone up, so proving how hard/ttish he is.

Saw an interesting one in an Asda car park. Some guy gets into his shiny new BMW whilst yelling at his girlfriend and starts to reverse out of the space he's parked in, he stops briefly to check the road is clear, and a Megane suddenly reverses out of the opposite space far too fast and obviously not looking, or they would have spotted the BMW. The rear of the Megane plows into the back of the BMW with some force causing a fair bit of damage to both cars.
This is the funny bit: The BMW driver gets out, yelling at the other driver, then suddenly has an "oh st" look, gets back in and darts off at the speed of sound while the Megane driver tries to take a photo of his number plate.
Anybody could see it was the Megane's fault, but both drivers seemed to think the opposite.

I've not seen many of those around to be honest....ts wrap of choice this year. Spotted mostly on S/RS and AMG models usually driven in a tttish mannerThe arse in a tatty k11 Micra who decided that to reach the third exit on a roundabout he really needed to beat the queue in the right lane of the entrance by using the left lane and then proceed right around the roundabout to the third exit in the left lane. I nearly collected him as he proceeded on his merry way as he passed the second exit that I needed (all without indicating no surprise really).

Slow away from the lights? I dont think there is a driver in the whole wide world that has not been guilty of this. in a 325Ciin Shenfield yesterday.

That horn is a bit intimidating isn't it? Count to five, or some other time limit, and then a quick flash of the headlights, works every time.

Try reading my entire post. Just slow away from the lights doesn't even register any more.That horn is a bit intimidating isn't it? Count to five, or some other time limit, and then a quick flash of the headlights, works every time.
I now give people the benefit of more than enough time, but some are just ignorant
s. I've no doubt had it not been on a main road in the afternoon, he'd have been out of his car challenging me to fisticuffs.WD39 said:
