One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 4
Discussion
Pretty sure I witnessed some shoplifters in Evesham today. Saw three of them, the trackies/trainers type with hoodies over their heads, clutching at a bag while rapidly walking across Tesco car park. All three converged on an old Astra, quickly got in and sped off, almost hitting a red Jeep in the process.
Two blokes and a girl, silver Astra reg KG56 VKK. Went into the store asking if they'd been shoplifted but the staff hadn't seen anything. Highly probable they'd been to the M&S or NEXT across the road, wasn't going to spend all day asking around though. Car showed up as no tax and an MOT failure.

Conversely you get people waiting to turn right but position themselves centrally/to the left, blocking people from pulling up alongside and turning left.
However on the other hand, I've often been waiting to turn left when a large SUV or van pulls up on my right, completely blocking my view of oncoming traffic. Especially valid at the entry to multi-lane roundabouts.
A lot of people just don't seem to know how big there car is, I've also noticed people who can't position themselves normally have small cars.However on the other hand, I've often been waiting to turn left when a large SUV or van pulls up on my right, completely blocking my view of oncoming traffic. Especially valid at the entry to multi-lane roundabouts.

People who at a T junction position. Their car so the middle of their car lines up with the centre line. I don’t know if they’re stupid or they do it so people turning in have to let them out.
There was a ten page discussion on this very subject recently. Maybe this thread or it's own title. Anyway, opinion was an uber knob manoevre.Jebend in a Mini today went for the double. First was arriving to turn right from a side road, just checked for a gap right and pulled halfway across the road without even slowing, blocking traffic from the right, despite a queue of cars coming from the left.
Having managed to bully their way out, the road then splits into multiple lanes through traffic lights, so they decided to straddle lanes 1 and 2 so that no one could get past.

Well, it's been a while So here's my 2 
1)
Fat, but clearly short,
40something Knob in Silver '14 plate Audi Q5. With wife and kids and one of those cocktard mesh nets over the rear windows!
First "appeared to me" when he decided to pull out in front of me on a roundabout. It wasn't close, so let it go.
Got to the next junction and he got shuffled by the traffic I entered the junction ahead of him. And to be fair did drift to my right as the lanes opened up
Q5 was obviously incensed at my getting ahead of him. And it did block his full bore launch from the line behind me.
So hit his horn.
I was literally going for the Hazards switch to apologise.
But he just leant on his horn for 30 seconds. Even when we were stopped 50m on by the next lights. Waving his arms around.
I decided I didn't want to apologise anymore
So drove quite steadily around the junction. he was still leaning on his horn. But then decided the better option was to a suicidal overtake heading for a f
king bus! I had to let off and he cut me up.
He will have seen me in his rear view mirror waving and laughing at him for being such a cock.
He then careered into a parking space 100m further up the road (so was it worth all the risk for his fragile ego not letting him be passed
) on the pavement outside the shop he probably owns, as when I came back a few hours later he was inside and he car was no where to be seen.
2)
Jockey in some small hatchback. We're 3 and 4 in a queue. Lights go Green. He doesn't proceed, but stops to allow a van to turn infront of us. This causes all the traffic to stop. To accommodate the van. The lights ahead go Red. He realises he's fked all of us. So boots it through on red !
Must be a midweek lunchtime thing. I'm normally in work avoiding these plums!

Nob of the day was the women on the a9 who had a full blown psychotic episode over nothing.
Joining it is a small dual carriageway that has a merge then leads on to the a9,girl in a punto merges in with plenty of room,cue the women flashing and waving her arms like a maniac, punto girl ignores her and the psycho women pulls up beside her and mouths something.
We are then behind the woman and pull out to lane 3 and begin overtaking, as we get in line with the rear of her car she doesn't even indicate and pulls out, eventually she pulls back in and we overtake again, just as we get neck and neck she throws her arm up and mouths f**king a***holes.
I burst into laughter and she went into even more of a frenzy.

The fat, ugly, peroxide blonde lump driving a Peugeot 206CC yesterday. I came down a slip road onto the M27 into lane 1 no problem, there were two lorries one in lane 1 the other overtaking in lane 2, she was so determined not to let me out of lane 1 in front of her she nearly drove into the back of the lorry in lane2!! I merely slowed a little passed behind her across to the completely empty 3rd lane and accelerated past, at which point she was waving her left hand and screaming at me through the window, the mind truly boggles at what must go on in some peoples heads!?!?!?

Just people that cant drive. Same as when a person needs to pull to the centre or right lane of a road to take a left turn. You don't drive an articulated lorry, you have a fugly Pug 3008 which can make a left hand turn within a single lane, just move your slovenly arms more.
The thing that gets my goat are people who turn into a turning lane half way up it... and aren't fully in it until they've reached the end. Again its just that they don't want to move their arms. Lazy flapping pillocks.
Approaching a "chicane" earlier with the signs giving me priority over oncoming traffic, I spot an Astra coming the other way at a fair speed for a built-up area and think "I bet he isn't going to stop" - I slowed and a second later was proven correct as he shot through the chicane without even slowing. I held my hands up in a "WTF?" kind of gesture, but had my radio on so couldn't hear what he called me out of his open window as he shot past.
Not one minute later a gang of half a dozen morons come barrelling towards me on motocross bikes and decide that they are not going to wait for me to pass before overtaking an oncoming car, forcing me up the kerb to avoid hitting two of them head-on.

The Audi A4 driver on the M3 early this afternoon just before junction 5 southbound weaving between lane 1 & the hard shoulder.
Rear of the car totally overloaded with boxes to the point that the car was so low the rear tyres were rubbing the bodywork and spitting bits of tyre rubber at the cars behind.
He must also have recently rejoined the M3 after leaving the Fleet services as, when I overtook him and glanced over, he was attempting to drive with a takeaway coffee in his right hand, a wrap of some form in his left hand, and attempting to steer / control the car with his knees

The HGV driver that decided to overtake a tractor on the A339 near Baughurst / Kingsclere early this afternoon.
I'm sure most of us in the queue were all a bit annoyed at having to follow him for the last 3 miles at 35mph or less, when the limit is normally 60, before dropping to 50 where the overtake happened, but some of us realise farming traffic is expected on those roads, so you just follow on at the lower speed accordingly and either wait for the farmer to pull over (as some do to let you by) or wait for him to turn off, if a sensible overtake is not possible.
However the HGV driver decided the best place to conduct his moronic overtake was downhill, on a stretch of road with solid white lines dividing each side of the road, approaching a partially blind left hand bend due to trees / foliage in the field next to the road Pure luck that no cars were coming in the opposite direction heading back towards Basingstoke as normally it can be quite busy on that stretch. That would certainly have made for a very nasty head on accident had any traffic met the lorry.

nonseq's believe it or not section.
Oncoming, getting closer and closer, then all was revealed. the driver was BRUSHING HIS TEETH!!
What next? Wet shave on the Westway, flossing on the flyover, moisturising on the motorway, buffing on the by-pass.
