Me this morning misjudging a gap and scraping the n/s front wheel on the kerb. Decent chunk taken out of both alloy and tyre.

The mentality of muppets and motorway lanes today. It was busy, lane three slowed right down, to 10-20 mph, but lane two was clear for hundreds of metres. Not one person decided to move out of lane three. I trundled past in lane two and passed upwards of ten cars. The only lane change I saw was someone getting into lane three behind me at the back of the queue. I don't understand why people feel the need to disadvantage themselves like that.

B.b.but it's the 'fast lane' innit.

The absolute helmet the other day in the 206 who seemed to want to get into my boot for a lift. I could only see windscreen, bearing in mind that I was doing maybe 32ish (30limit)
At a set a of traffic lights, I asked if he wanted a lift as he may as well have got in with how fking close he was. Got the hump with being called out on it, and tried to chase me when I pulled away. I suspect it was to apologise profusely for being such a dildo.

Topping it off though, was when he tried to swerve towards me in an attempt to scare me. He resembled a pomegranates colour when I went past laughing and pointing.

Knob.

Women putting make up on while driving. Saw two today on my way to work. 1st women on a dual carrigeway, sun visor down, looking in the mirror applyling lipstick while doing about 60mph.

2nd women doing the same in a big 4x4 but at least she was going slow in a traffic jam. A couple of minutes later she almost bumped into me swerving out of her lane while brushing her hair!

On the A605 yesterday I had a rather lovely Triumph TR4A behind me. At roundabout I noticed the driver would reach out the window and spray window cleaner over the screen from a bottle.

From then on I used my headlight jets to cover his car. He would wave, I'd slow down and put my anti-tailgater device to good use for a change.
We got to the A45 and I let him overtake as I found it quite annoying that the Triumph was consistently being tailgated. Some people just have no respect for anything these days. So I acted as a running back keeping a respectful distance behind only closing the gap if anyone tried to overtake me.

He pulled off the A45 and we exchanged horn beeps.

Great car, nice chap; shame about everyone else's attitude.

The two oblivious incompetents in Cambridge this morning tootling about with their door mirrors folded in. And the utter helmet who parked on the pavement in front of a branch of Costa: bravo, sir, you did not hold up any motor vehicles whilst purchasing your vital demiskinnycapu with hazelnut shot (or whatever it was). You did, however, park completely over the cycle path and most of the footpath.

[Liquid Knight]

I drove nearly five hundred miles yesterday without incident or issues. Thanks to some cat' thief...



...I didn't get off my driveway today.

That's why I do a little spot of weld on the bolts where the cat' meets the flexipipe.

Notwithstanding the odd honk or headlight flash, I thought the PH consensus was, when confronted with a knob driver, not to gesticulate, shout to or engage in any 'revenge' tactics.
Isn't it take a deep breath, bite your lip and continue on your merry way?

Two morons who couldn't be bothered to go the right way in the Tesco's car park last night!!! First one as I approached the aisle I wanted to enter, indicating to turn into it when a Kia sportage comes speeding up to the entrance going the wrong way, I stop rather than driving into her, she just sails out in front of another car coming down the two way feeder road making rude gestures at me for pointing out she's going the wrong way!!! Then I'm sat waiting for wifey, a young couple get in their car pull out and do exactly what the earlier moron did, exit the car park by driving the wrong way down the lane!! Are these people stupid, blind or just don't care???

Knob on the motorway today, sitting oblivious in the middle lane, I overtake on the right, then pull back into the middle lane, at which point they flashed me. I assumed maybe they thought I was too close, but I then pulled left (to exit the motorway) and they pulled right up behind a lorry so clearly spacing wasn't an issue. Very bizarre.

The latter. With a heavy dose of stupidity.

Ok, not revenge tactics, as that's dumb.

But not beeping the horn to warn someone they are about to crash into you as most of the contributors seem to advocate, is a bit meh.
