One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 4
Discussion
White C class Mercs with black wheels driven by fuccktard wannabe gansters. often with private plates and debadged to hide their 8 year old c200 that they think is an AMG.
More often than not wearing a fake Rolex and a proud owner of a credit card debt the size of a small African countries economy.

The bell end who sped up when I overtook them today...
I was heading down a NSL road and came up behind a 240 doing just under 50, so I went to overtake and he booted it. Really booted it. In a moment of red mist I sped up and passed him. He then made it his mission to pass me again, this time at pretty naughty speeds only to slow down again.
This car was literally PH bingo; illegally spaced private plate, silly exhaust (it popped and banged like a good ‘un when he floored it), oiks covered in tattoos driving around town with an arm hanging out of the car etc.
With all those negative signs of a poor driver, that is a car which I would avoid and keep my distance. Sit back and be patient. Your description of events tells me that he was waiting for someone to OT him. You were the unlucky one who happened to be passing.I was heading down a NSL road and came up behind a 240 doing just under 50, so I went to overtake and he booted it. Really booted it.

It has been mentioned before, when you are waiting at a junction to turn right a driver flashes you to go when the road behnd them is clear. No use of mirror telling them that there is no need to let someone out as when they go past...etc.
But the knob today was he who flashed me to go when there was a line of moving traffic to my right,

One of the bellends that was visiting a neighbour in my road that decided this afternoon was the time to take their kid for a drive up & down the road we live in and around a couple of local estate roads too.
Not a problem? Well it is if he's doing it with his toddler aged brat sat on his lap doing the steering whilst he controlled the pedals and nearly made contact with 2 neighbours cars
Absolute f
k-nugget who only decided to stop after 1) the kid yanked the steering wheel and daddy narrowly corrected it before hitting a neighbours car & 2) he nearly drove into the back of another neighbour that was driving into he road because he was paying more attention to his brat on his lap than what was going on in the road

Having just returned from a trip to Devon, I'd like to nominate most of the drivers who own a new breed of tradesman vans currently on our roads.
I'm not up on my vans but the ones I saw were VW TD5's and Ford Transits sporting alloy wheels, blacked out windows and the odd graphic.
I thought Mercedes Sprinters were bad enough but this new type of knob-mobile seems to all be owned by complete bellends.
If you must drive like a complete dick head at 100mph on the motorway and A-roads then at least get a performance car that is built for the purpose.

The other day I was on a wide country road with 2 cars in front of me. You could see the road clear up ahead, good driving conditions. The one in front turned right but did so slowly that we had virtually come to a stop. The guy immediately in front of me crawls forward for about 2 seconds and then I see him messing about trying to sort his child out in the passenger seat, leaning over to do something. At this point, approximately 5 seconds after the first car turned right I'd decided I'd had enough of the guy in front not paying attention to the road and so I passed him.
The guy immediately sparked into life as I made the pass, hitting the throttle and his horn as if I'd done something wrong. No mate, I just can't be arsed to wait around for you to sort your kid out in the passenger.
But..... this wasn't the 'knob' part.
At the end of the country lane (T junction) it just so happens that there's a short queue of cars in front (4 or 5 maybe). So we're all waiting at the junction for probably a couple of minutes. The guy does absolutely nothing....until I start turning at the junction, then the inevitable wker sign comes out.
Knob.
Coward.
and another word beginning with C is what I thought.
Nothing to say until we went in different directions.

The woman driving a red VW Up this morning in the car park at Royal Bournemouth Hospital. Staring so intently to her left, (presumably) looking for a parking space, that she failed to see the old couple on the zebra crossing ahead of her. No attempt to slow down or steer around them. Fortunately the old lady had her wits about her, spotted the conflict, and managed to drag the old man forward by his elbow so that a collision was averted. Heaven help them if they'd have been of the less mobile elderly sort though. The woman in the Up? She didn't appear to have noticed, as she carried on through the car park as if nothing had happened.
Oh, and the twonk in a 2007 Civic, wearing a baseball cap. Fully engrossed in Facebook or some other st on his phone, to the point where he missed the traffic ahead of him move away when their light turned green. He was in lane three, so the car behind him moved into lane 2 to go around him. Which seemed to spark him into life, as he roared away, ignoring the now red traffic light and he was lucky that traffic leaving the hospital site was slow off the mark, because they'd already begun to move before he crossed the stop line.

The Tradesman Transit I saw the other day had a front splitter on that would rip off when the try to park on most kerbs .... in Devon aswell.I'm not up on my vans but the ones I saw were VW TD5's and Ford Transits sporting alloy wheels, blacked out windows and the odd graphic.

I've had the pleasure of overtaking a few caravans in the past week. They don't like it either.
No w anker signs but a fair few flashing of lights and shaking of heads.
I usually slow down rapidly when that happens, making sure that I haven't got a wheel falling off etc.
..to prove that they should have used the hand gesture??No w anker signs but a fair few flashing of lights and shaking of heads.

If someone flashes me, I interpret that as a warning that something may be wrong. So I slow down, check my mirrors, make sure there are no nasty noises etc. I know what you’re trying to imply though.
Why not just stop, get out, bang on their side window and ask "what's the problem" loud enough that they can hear you? Edited by 993kimbo on Thursday 12th September 16:25
