Coming back from York today with the missus and our 5 month old asleep in the back. A women pulls out of a side street and I'm that close I have to do an emergency stop. Only the second in sixteen years of driving.

Scares the hell out of the wife and the little 'un is screaming at the top of her lungs.

I flash the stupid b#tch which is pretty restrained considering I want to get out of the car and beat the crap out of her, woman or no.

What do I get ? An apology perhaps ? Sorry for scaring the crap out of your family and potentially putting them in a life threatening situation ?

No of course not.

She turns around, gives us the finger followed by the cofee beans while mouthing #anker.

Only just calmed the little un down.

What is the world coming to ?

I know what you mean, you get it all the time in London. People seem to think that being able to gesticulate excuses you from courteous driving. Makes me wish I had a Land Rover Defender with a dirty great set of bullbars attached.

thats the thing nowadays...people are not prepared to admit if they are in the wrong....i always apologise if i have made a mistake, although that doesn't happen often

Hopefully by not looking at the road ahead and taking her hands off the wheel she will crash, thus in one swoop remove herself from the gene pool and make our roads safer

Sorry for your scare, just think next time she might make the same mistake with an articulated lorry. Wonder then if her hands will be making strange sighns?

Some people like to ease their way in gently rather than jump straight in with both feet

If I had a pound for everytime some idiot bothered to apologise for their stupidity on the roads, I'd be a millionaire! Needless to say, I'm penniless! And as for the blokes who have put me in near death incidents, I think they should get down on their knees and beg for my forgiveness!

Glad you were all okay.

That's weird....

I had an encounter with some twit on the way back from York, too.

It was a Skoda Fabia Estate Elegance. Twerp was looking at his kid in the back seat and suddenly accelerated as I pulled out.

Gave him the finger and shakes, too....I was togged out in my femail wig to confuse the Gatsos....I think he thougt I was a lass.

Funny old world, innit.....?

I had a similar incident the other day.

I was in the outside lane of a dual carriageway, just about to overtake a car on the inside lane. The fella had nothing in front of him, and the roundabout we were approaching was about 500 yards away. Suddenly, he started to pull out without indicating which forced me to brake heavily or have him hit my front bumper. I hooted my horn to warn him I was there, but he just carried on, pulled out in front of me and gave ME the beans while he was doing it!!

I have been fairly lucky recently - no incidents to speak of - until on my way home from the cinema this evening.

Middle aged guy with (i assume) family in his toyota something, drives all the way round a three lane marked roundabout in the left hand lane to eventually go right, almost swiping me and several other people off the roundabout...

All the time he was looking at me and the other two cars in his destructive path like we were morons. How ironic...
