Half an hour, that's quite a wait.


I wonder what the longest one of these stand offs has lasted. Anyone on here beat that?

It took that long to unhitch, turn around hitch up again, etc...plus the other people behind me had to back up, too

All sorted now.... Bill was £60 and we went half as we were both in the wrong
Him for being a douch and me for reacting to it

I wonder if he told the story to his dad who agreed that he was being a prick?

I know , I meant the lorry driver was happy to wait that long

There are people out there who actually cannot reverse- not because they have no reverse gear (possible of course!) but just due to incompetence, to which they cannot admit.

My first thought as well. A newish young driver in a fancy car probably didn't trust himself to reverse a few yards.

The guy sounds like a monumental little ****! You rolled forward a bit and made by the sounds of it, a tiny bit of contact. Ok that's not ideal but to be there 15 minutes with traffic piling up behind you and you all had to move because of that arrogant little turd, I'm surprised you lasted 15 minutes.

It's entirely likely he's completely incapable of moving. I don't know what I'd have done in those circumstances but I don't think I'd have kept as cool.

I'd have got out and explained to the group of people behind you there was a pedantic little st refusing to back up.
He presumably passed his test so should have been competent.
He just wanted to be a prick.
Shame you lost your patience and gave him the high ground
I'm sure he would have reversed quickly enough if 5-6 people came towards him.

Keys out, jangle them, place them on the dashboard. Job done.

Good result
The little tosser wasn’t so hard after all!
Expect his mummy made him pay

The next van driver he stops might just pull out a tool and leave him dead at side of the road.

Technically you now need to declare this crap as a incident to your insurance for 5 years

I have a light haulage business, insurance is always about £1000 , this year the renewal was £5 more than last year so I didn't bother shopping around

Only in may I was hit from behind for the 2nd time in 3 years, neither my fault, both settled with no loss of ncb

I tell them about this 2nd incident and computer says £766 increase

What !

They wouldn't budge despite my protest so I went elsewhere for £1000

I had similar when driving down a winding single track road in an artic hgv going to a farm when a woman came the other way in a Nissan Juke demanding I reverse (literally impossible). I explained this and that she only had to reverse a couple 100 yards she still refused so engine off got kettle out made a brew and went and sat on the fence overlooking the fields, she soon reversed.
