I see them everywhere when I return to the UK. Almost like having a time machine.

I had to honk my horn today because one of them couldn't work out it was extremely safe for him to move of at a roundabout. The two vehicles coming towards him where over 600 feet away and both indicating for our turning. He then went on to the M25......Originally posted by rl4engc View PostOnce saw summat on one of these Police Interceptor programmes where they'd pulled over an old gent for some reason, turns out he was a paratrooper in WW2 so obviously jumping out of a plane behind enemy lines at night with a backpack full of kit. The only place I've jumped out of is the lowest branch of a tree.
Ever since I've never shown aggression to the more mature drivers, as my dad is that age n I will be too one day.

If you're in lane 1 doing 70 you are not undertaking. The driver in lane 3 is positioned inappropriately.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostJust driving down the motorway. Some wimpey looking git is in lane 3 holding everyone up. I flashed him to try to get him to pull over. Eventually he gets the message. I pull alongside and he looks like he has pooed himself.
I felt quite sorry for him. Its quite pathetic really.
Sit in lane 1 (unless overtaking a slower vehicle also in lane 1) and everything will be fine.
M25. Me -> lane 1 @ 70. Slowster 1 -> lane 3 @ 60. Slowster 2 -> Lane 4 @ 65.
FFS folks! I would happily take my driving test every 5 years if every other fecker on the road had to as well...

Chavs, fatties, militant cyclists and the generally stupid are all fair game though.
Looked like he was posting to some website at the time....
