Over the last few years I’ve noticed an increase in bizarre behaviour of people committing driving actions that if it were me performing, would result in a crash.

Examples would be driving across a busy roundabout without a care in the world, pulling out of junctions, crossing 4 way junctions etc all characterised by one consistent behaviour, which is looking straight ahead unflinchingly like a Vietnam vets 1000 yard stare pretending that they can’t see any oncoming traffic either direction and relying on all other road users to brake, swerve and emergency stop to allow them to continue.

Has anyone else noticed this one?

these types don't even cast a glance either way at junctions or roundabouts just look straight ahead and damn the consequences.
Every time i see someone do this it annoys me that they seemingly get away with it and other road users have to accept they always have right of way

Noticed this more and more recently, it's almost like they believe they have right of way and if you hit them it is your fault. What is worse is if you sound your horn at them, they start to scream and shout at you as if you are the one who is in the wrong.

If they are turning left they will just pull slowly out of the side road with no effort to try and build up any speed before you get to them. If they are turning right they will just pull straight out into the road in front of you and stop half way across the road, more often than not they will be driving some sort of Audi SUV.

Last guy who did this to me I sounded my horn and he just looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and deliberately blocked me for even longer. I mean seriously, do they think they are the ones in the right?

I drive a shed, and when I see £50k worth of brand new Audi just pull out in front of me I get more and more tempted not to bother braking every time it happens......
