Not car related but helps to vent!

Bloke I know (can't really call him a friend as he is a legendary cockwomble) is shagging around behind his Mrs. back.
She is an awesome person & her mum is really ill.

Regardless of the rights and wrongs his timing is atrocious! Every time I see him I want to smack him in the mouth but not my problem at all.

so called mate of mine who has lately become a bit of a corbynite where until that point he was rather apolitical. Not an issue in itself, but he chose an evening when we were out with a group of mates for a beer to start having a go at me personally for earning over a certain amount, that i was the problem and that i should pay more tax to solve all the problems of the country. I managed to stay calm and be measured in my response, which was surprising considering he had not one hour earlier been telling us that he enjoyed being self-employed because he could get pissed in the week and then and sleep in all day instead of working, and that he was planning to fold his limited company in order to avoid paying this year's tax bill...
I'd report to HMRC. Hopefully they'll then investigate when he does it

yea fair enough, but is that not a bit like living near a railway line and getting annoyed at the trains?
If the passengers started parking in your front garden surely you would have a right to be annoyed?

Arrogant tt in the classic Mercedes SL who decided that he was far too important to slow down and wait for a safe pass of two horseriders.

Had to take evasive action as the cock came round the bend half straddling the white line and way too fast, which unsettled the horses.

Utter utter cock!

i can't remember what this is about. Is it middle-lane hogging?

the complete and utter knobber that was hanging off my back bumper all along the avenue where I live and then as I indicated right to pull up outside my house and park up, shouted obscenities at me and my young daughter as he then passed and accelerated because I had the temerity to drive at 25mph along this tight, residential road.
Cars parked either side, it is not wide enough for two cars to pass in most areas.
I don't normally comment on this thread and I try to let this kind of thing go, but that episode really wound me up and I am still cheesed off now.

Every single knob who drives through this roundabout (travelling N to S) without even glancing right up Little End Road to see if there's anyone approaching.

It's got to the stage that when leaving the industrial estate, I treat it like a T Junction rather than a roundabout

Travelling North to South you'd need to look right up Little End Road...

...oh, and preemptively sound your horn on approach. It would be an entirely legitimate use of your "audible warning device", and might actually get those N to S drivers to at least look your way!

Fat balding throbbers in Zafiras.

Every. Single. Time.

Obviously hates his life, wife, kids and the fact he has to drive an absolute abortion of a automobile.

An example couldn't be bothered waiting in traffic today so though it was ok to drive on the opposite side of the road and overtake them all into oncoming traffic.

In a similar vein, can I nominate all the self-absorbed, thick car drivers in Cambridge who seem to think that there is some inalienable right to overtake cyclists as soon as they come up to them, regardless of traffic coming the other way, double white lines, unsighted bends, blind crests on railway bridges...

I write this from the perspective of a driver who generally has a low opinion of Cambridge cyclists.

Me again; sorry.

The van driver who just drove along the pavement and verge because he couldn't wait a couple of minutes for a skip lorry to drop off a skip.

Blokes who drive with their arm hanging down the outside of the driver's door. That'll be handy in an emergency!

It's a bizarre habit, imagine the bloody pulp he be left with if he got T-boned yikes

You also see some drivers apparently trying to hold the roof onto their car.

I thought they tended to drive the old Citroen Picasso, seems it's all the same vehicle anyway and the same drivers.

The absolute censored in a white van today in a side road to me left who decided that having stopped and looking right at me it would be a good idea to pull out and turn left as I turned right... right into my path. Then had the audacity to flick me off! Was causing an accident if I hadn't braked worth about 3 seconds?

Going to have to nominate myself, started braking for traffic lights and I had some sort of brain fart and for some reason I still don't know braked with my left foot (in a manual) resulting in a very hard emergency stop, luckily the car behind was concentrating, I gave a very sheepish apology wave, probably thought I was was doing a crash for cash scam. Hopefully nobody with a dashcam was around, don't want to end up on the next idiot compilation.
