ha had that a while back through the lanes. Long straight road and suddenly her car is a mile wide.
The other one I had was a woman who refused to drive faster than 20 and didn't know her lights had full beam so couldn't see (presume this was the reason for the pace or lack thereof) so when I indicated, blipped past her safely she suddenly decided she knew where her full beams were. Grrr as soon as I got around the next corner though, didn't see her again :lol:

Recently I've been wound up by people who sit in the yellow boxes at busy junctions.
When my traffic lights go on green and I can't move anywhere cos theres some impatient bugger blocking me in the yellow box, really winds me up!
You can easily judge at this junction and can tell if you're gonna be sat in the box, so do as you're supposed to and stay behind the white line and dont obstruct other vehicles!! Grr.

OMG right the other day, in a 30 road, two lanes, i was in the inside doing thirty, and in the outside a micra with a audi TT behind it, i was doing thirty but the micra was slowing down but i didnt want to under take so i started to slow down aswell but i was just next to the audi enough if she turned her head she could see me right there and use her mirrors.
but she must have been blind because she put her foot down nearly clipping my front end off so i had to slam on my brakes to a dead stop and then undertaken the micra and then gets caught at a red light straight after doing it.
then she held up a fire brigade, sirens blaring lights and everything, she didnt more until the green light and wouldnt move over for the fire brigade to over take!!
I was fuming, i never use my horn but i was blaring it that day at her!!
Rant Over..

Yesterday there was the imbecile in the BMW cabriolet who decided to stop on the double yellow line and open the door to get out as I was approaching.
Now, I wasn't going to be forced into the path of oncoming traffic, was I? So I deliberately drove VERY close to him. Of course he didn't like it and started effing and jeffing - asked me loudly (and not very politely) where I learned to drive. And this is in LYTHAM :!:
I just laughed at him.
Sadly, it was only afterwards that I thought of the perfect response: "somewhere they don't teach you to park on yellow lines and get out without looking" :lol:
Why is it ALWAYS BMWs :?:

Trust me you wouldn't want to be my passenger when I get road rage :lol: I'm not aggresive I just get frustrated lol.maggi112":1as69jir said:
When collecting my car from its service last week, I was waiting to merge onto the busy, fast moving main road (where the Renault garage is located). The road was chaos with traffic and I was sat there for a good while waiting for a gap in the traffic to merge.
Anyway, a queue of 2 or 3 cars had formed behind me. Then one beeped, and another followed suit.
I was like "do you want me to commit suicide?". Anyway, the beeping then got a bit more frequent and aggrovating. So by this stage I'd had enough. I left my finger on my horn for a good 10 seconds or so and finally managed to shut the buggers up!

Meep Meep. With the standard Twingo horn, they were probably laughing too much to press their horns in reply :lol:Sam":2uew1sde said:
Agreed, horn isn't the best in the world.singlespeed":200929s4 said:
But, well I dunno, the guy behind was an elderly chap who'd just come out of the Esso garage next door and the one behind him was some ugly blonde in an MX5! I know you're only supposed to beep to alert someone of your presence, but the thing is I knew they were there and wasn't causing a hazard or obstruction!!!
Where do I start? It seems lately every time I drive I experience some terrible driving. To name a few off the top of my head...
Cyclists with pathetic dim lights, do you honestly think I'm gona see you dressed in black with a dim flashing LED? And don't get me started on those that cycle on pavements and think that red lights don't apply to them.
The woman in the polo who couldn't be dealing with having to wait behind me until it was safe for me to pull out. She attempts to go round me just as eventually pull out (very busy road at the time) but eventually realised it wasn't the best idea she's ever had
The guy today who pulls out in front of me causing me to slam on the breaks, he saw me coming well in advance but decides to pull out at the last minute
'BMW drivers'. Not necessarily driving a BMW, will tailgate you when you're doing 60 in a 60, before overtaking on a corner and generally drive terribly, and never indicate
People who drive in the middle of the road, causing me to drive in the gutter to avoid hitting them, this is made worse when they have full beam on meaning I can't even see
Not indicating at mini roundabouts, I'm not a mindreader
Indicating at mini roundabouts and people ignoring them causing you to slam the brakes on as they've decided they'll be pulling out no matter what
But by far the worst is those who attempt to threaten you. The pretend police man was apparently going to put all my details into his 'special computer' and pull me over when he was in his police car. And the drugged up fiesta driver that is gona beat me up the next time I'm slow to turn off full beam after he overtakes me after tailgating me ages. He actually looked like Pete Dougherty.
