Examples of poor driving you have witnessed!

Almost nothing - it must be quite lovely for them....

In a way I'm actually jealous of them...

Counted 5 red light runners and at least a dozen cars seemingly not fitted with an indicator stalk on my trip into town this morning - the funniest was on the roundabout going onto Sainsburys car park, where 2 cars confused each other as neither were indicating... and then they were both beeping and shaking fists as they dodged each other!

I don't think I've ever seen anybody shaking their fist in real life - only on pre 1970s television. Seems a more polite way of showing objection though - I tend to use 2 or sometimes 1 finger, depending on my level of frustration.

On this occasion they actually did! First time I've ever seen it, and in duplicate too

I myself tend to prefer the 2 finger salute, which I find tends to effectively convey my feelings towards the moron it is directed at - or in serious cases the horn, which I tend to end up using a lot driving around Stafford...

If you really aren't going to be able to go anywhere for a few seconds, then get out and go and explain to him that it is still an offence to sound the horn of a stationary motor vehicle - he might even thank you for that information.

The season of goodwill appears not to have extended to motorists today from what I've seen.

Stupid boy Pike!

It's not 1923 and you are not in a sweet old British black and white film either!
You can't give people a peice of your mind anymore !
You'll get stabbed! !! !

"told them what i was going to do" means "explain that i needed to back on to the driveway", not "reduce their car to atoms if they didn't feskring get out of the farksling way".
You so you know.

Even the police have no respect for the double yellow line.

too close up my arse for the remaining part of our encounter for me to see anything but 'silver' and 'expensive looking' I'm afraid. One lone middle aged male driver. Utterly convinced he was right, of course
