People who brake when a car is coming in the other direction, why?
Because they are incompetent dullards that haven't a clue about how wide their vehicle is. I have always maintained that driving through width barriers at a minimum of 60mph should be part of the driving test.
It's a common issue round here. You'll be driving along, your side of the road is clear. You see parked cars on the other side of the road, and a car approaching that will reach the line of cars at the same time as you. So, you assess the road as wide enough for you to give them some room so no-one has to stop, and get closer to the kerb... But they've decided they want to pass the parked cars, yes, however they need six feet between them and the stationary cars.
I totally understand that they might be worried about a door opening into their path, but there's two mitigations available to them... They could slow significantly, giving them a better chance of stopping before hitting any errant door flingers. Or, they could wait for you to get past before they head out to your side of the road.
But no. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

The person last night in the SVR that took the wrong junction at the motorway, and instead of going the wrong way decided they would drive over the hashed markings, put the boot down, and peppered my windscreen with stones and chipped it.
Why can't people just go the way they have chosen rather than at best inconveniencing others, or at worst risking their life and others.

Because we now live in the "me, me, me, and in case I didn't mention it, me!" world. There is a surfeit of people who just live and do everything, "convenient for me, and fk everyone else". It was there before but has increased massively post-covid.Why can't people just go the way they have chosen rather than at best inconveniencing others, or at worst risking their life and others.

Today it was the utter twunt in the clapped out horsebox on the A1(M) that was behind me in the right-hand lane as we approached some roadworks with the right-hand lane closed I indicated to merge in which for some reason upset him as he started blasting on his horn because I must have held him up for all of 2 seconds obviously he then goes all the way to the front & pushes in, 5 minutes later & were through the roadworks & I soon catch up with him as the piece of junk is only doing about 50 uphill as I go past he starts gesticulating out the window, not a clue think the guy needs some anger management therapy!

Merge in turn. Sounds like you are the knob for not doing it properly. Master Bean said:
