One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 4
Discussion
The van that overtook me this morning using the hard shoulder of the M62. In fact where the driver went past me, wasn't even hard shoulder anymore but the hatched bit to the left.
Guessing he came out of Hartshead Moor services and couldnt join the motorway so just hoofed it down the hatched bit until forcing his way in.Still not the best thing to do in a works van adverting your bosses business.
In summary, van driven by a dick.

Children throwing stones in the road.
I was coming down a road earlier and noticed a child pick something up from next to the kerb, just before I went past the little ‘should have been swallowed’ b
d, he threw the stone in the road and it bounced across my front bumper but would have hit my wing if I didn’t slam my brakes on.
Asked him what he thought he was doing as he was about to walk into his house and he turned pale white and apologised, I then asked what he would have done if it hit my car and he said he would have apologised to which I replied how does an apology pay for damage?
Just as I finished stopping myself from throttling the little st, I noticed his front door had opened and his (I assume) mum was watching what was happening but as soon I caught eye contact she slammed the door shut... st stain parents raise st stain kids.

I'm claiming a hat trick of points for the following.
1....car parked over 2 spaces in a public car park.
2....Mis spaced number plate.....L11V MY.
3....the explanation of the plate......said at the bottom...."Millionaire Young"
Thanks ,I'd never have guessed you are amazingly well off ,seeing as all this refers to a Rolls Royce Wraith !
Wish I'd had a camera/phone with me...

..but not being able to get off a slip-road which comes to an end is an emergency where you could enter the hatched area - it's safer than going too close to other vehicles or stopping.Guessing he came out of Hartshead Moor services and couldnt join the motorway so just hoofed it down the hatched bit until forcing his way in.Still not the best thing to do in a works van adverting your bosses business.

First time I've heard of that. I thought you had to give way to traffic on the motorway/dual carriageway and if you can't safely do so stop until you get a gap. I've personally never had a situation where I've had to stop or use the shoulder or hatched area, I forward plan to prevent this.I came here because of the heavy fog this morning, and I'm not going to bash on about the people with no lights on, as we all know to expect that, I want to moan about the people who just put their sidelights on, just completely pointless, especially those whose sidelight is a tiny bulb in the cluster. Today's knob prize goes to an old Micra who was flying along with a single sidelight on, complete idiot.
Gormless f*ckwit on the M4 last night.
Car in lane 1, I am in lane 2 passing said car and approaching the rear of a Golf. Golf is doing 60ish and I am doing 70 so I indicate and move into lane 3. As I do, she indicates and moves out in front of me forcing me to brake.
There was then nothing in lane 1 and nothing in lane 2 yet she cut across me as I went to overtake! Utterly bizarre piece of driving. I waited a few moments and eventually moved back across to lane 2 and ended up passing her as she merrily drove in lane 3!
I literally cannot fathom what the purpose of the manoeuvre was other than the driver literally having no idea of what's around her and less of an idea of how a motorway works.

The person who completely drove past the entrance to Asda and then tried to drive into the exit.
Entrance:
Exit. It's an impossible turn without either approaching from lane 1 or driving over the pavement. This person managed to do both and still get stuck.

It could be better signposted... But still, absolute knob.Whenever someone tries to drive into the exit and comes nose to nose with you they always look at you like its your fault. Just makes them look like bigger knobs as traffic backs up behind me.

Hate these types, had somebody trying to leave a petrol station the wrong way onto a dual carriageway(30mph one), I was entering the petrol station and beeped a couple of times to try and wake him up, he gave me dirty look, looked behind me and I think he realised as he was entering the dual carriageway the correct way. I've no idea how he ended up in that position, he must have used the pumps then turned around, or maybe went to the wrong side of the pump, then turned round to position car right without thinking he was facing the exit. He did look rather thick and was driving a Kia Venga.Whenever someone tries to drive into the exit and comes nose to nose with you they always look at you like its your fault.
