One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 4
Discussion
90% of the people on the M25 this evening.
Driving too close, so constant applications of brake lights, leading to lots of slowing down, as low as 35mph once.
Changing lanes left and right, into barely big enough gaps, indicating optional.
Then the arshole in a slip road that became lane 1, who decided that wasn't good enough for him, so just pulled out in front of me.
How there wasn't an accident I don't know.

Was this your first time on the M25?Driving too close, so constant applications of brake lights, leading to lots of slowing down, as low as 35mph once.

The utter melt in the 911 driving through the edge of Bishops Stortford just now, who at every roundabout was signalling right, from the middle or left hand lane, then going straight on. It being rush hour, people were pulling out to turn left on those roundabouts where there is plenty of room to do so if someone is just turning right. Nearly caused two crashes that I saw, and because he did it at every roundabout, I can only assume this is his habit - who knows how many accidents he's actually caused?
Then the arse in the old PIcasso driving at 20 and constantly applying the brakes on the NSL road down to the Hadhams, probably because it's cold, and there were cars coming the other way - despite it being a normal, two lane road. He created a lovely long snake of traffic behind him. I'm guessing he was oblivious though.
I'm glad I don't have to drive at rush hour, it would send me crazy in less than a week.

Indicating right until the split second you turn left from the RAB is a modern motoring menace of epidemic proportions.Then the arse in the old PIcasso driving at 20 and constantly applying the brakes on the NSL road down to the Hadhams, probably because it's cold, and there were cars coming the other way - despite it being a normal, two lane road.

ANYONE* driving whilst wearing a hat needs to be avoided especially old blokes in flat caps.
I used to love taking my Ultima GTR out whilst wearing a flat cap and having an unlit pipe stuck in my mouth, really messes with peoples heads. I could try it with the Caterham however, I'm pretty sure the cap would blow off and I'm not sure that most of the drivers don't smoke pipes anyway.- Emergency services excepted

We don't. Some of the older ones smoke roll-ups, most of us don't bother due to the lack of an ash tray.Okay it was...

Theft requires dishonesty. Collecting some litter left behind after a clean-up and putting it on ebay for charity with full disclosure of origins is not theft."Errrr for charity mate"

Clearly, there's a difference between a lost item such as a handbag or wodge of dosh, next to some plastic pieces left over after a car crash that have no intrinsic value. Or indeed a sign left abandoned after fulfiling its purpose.

I always thought it was 'an intention to deprive the rightful owner'.A dumped car technically belongs to the council if it's in a public area or car park.

Why? The vast majority that actually manage to do so, also indicate left after they have cleared the previous exit.Its called giving someone a clue and is certainly better than your lame idea of keeping everyone guessing on purpose, by not indicating at all.
Its always interesting to see who complains about others pulling out on them at roundabouts and who doesn't.

k would you signal right if you are planning to continue straight on? Who is that signal for, and what reason could there possibly be for doing it? Unhelpful right-signalling on roundabouts is one of my niggles though. It isn't taught, nor is it helpful or a good idea... so just fking stop it. Solocle said:

Still not as bad as the compensation face scum bum passenger that has been too injured to go to work but well enough to appear on daytime television and sell her non-story to every gutter tabloid with a checkbook.
The impatient little wk stain in the white Aygo this morning on the A689 at the Butterwick/Fishburn turn off. I can see a number of cars sitting with their indicators going and the generally accepted rule is, if you're on the A689 and it's clear you pull over into the right hand lane to let them out. I do so but as I approach aforesaid stain doesn't think the car in front of them is getting a fast enough shift on for them so pulls around the car and promptly pulls straight in to the right hand lane in front of me at the grand old speed of thirty-ish if that (I was doing a rather sedate 60, who the hell rushes to get to work?).
Thankfully I saw the dip st perform the overtake so I was already anchoring on when he pulled in front of me, a long blast of the horn to disclose one's presence saw them move back into the left hand lane (and accelerating for all the st heap was worth).

Yes, agreed, the correct formula is to indicate left after clearing the previous exit. But sadly the prize turnips of whom I speak are having none of it.
