The dickhead in the Range Rover behind me. Perhaps if you weren't doing 40+ in a 30 and actually paid attention to my indicator you wouldn't have to use your horn when I turn off.
Compensating much.

I hate needlessly huge cars. They shouldn't be allowed.
I don't mind them if they know the size of their cars (most people around here seem to have no idea of the width of their cars) or actually still drive with the same regard you would a smaller one. Power trips, is what I've gleamed.
I'm in Falmouth at the moment. Went up to Truro the other day and discovered just how sensitive people down here really are.
I didn't drive any differently to how I would at home, and I got repeated honks and fingers. One, froma chap who slowed down as we went from a 40 to NSL...sure, I got a little closer to him...could still have sailed the Titanic through the gap though.

Reminds me of the parking fine video sketch on FB currently. Have you seen it? I'll have to try and find it
spent £107 + £19 on ebay and forgot to click easyfundraising first to get money for animal rescue

been asked today about 10 times if my Panda is 4x4. They all must of watched wheeler dealers monday. That bit didnt bother me that much. What bothered me is the fact 5 of those people said if it was 4x4 i'd consider it as a replacement to my car but every single person drives a 2wd car so what does it matter???
Following an old giffer in an Astra. I'm not an impatient person as such, if someone is doing 40 in a 50 and there's no chance to overtake I'll just set the cruise at a sensible distance behind and kick back. When they brake randomly and hard at every possible small kink in the road (a road which incidentally used to be a national and I know an uno could travel all the way along at national+ without braking for any of the bends) it starts to get extremely annoying, down to 20mph, up to 45, wander over the centre line, jam the anchors on again..:bang:

I had this a few weeks ago, 40 in a 60, I eventually overtake when safe and clear and he sounds his horn. I stopped to ask WTF his issue was, he shat himself and like a coward sent his wife out for words, and then tried mouthing off from the drivers seat - Focus convertible owners for you.
Must upload the video at some point.
Do love that one...perfectly happy to bumble along until they get overtaken.
Wonder if these people replace discs and pads every year.

Whilst sitting in the car in Morrison's waiting for my mother to arrive I watched a women do 8 slow laps of the 2 sections closest to the entrance to try and find a space, she spent 10 mins doing this until spotting someone getting into their car and waiting for them to come out.
I swear people would drive around the aisles of the shop if they could!
I have metal in my leg from a bike accident which makes it awkward to walk too far and I wouldn't bother doing that.. There was spaces literally 50 metres away from where she was circling

My dad's MiTo needs new rear wheel bearings for the 2nd time in its lifespan. It's done 77000km. And yes, the first time they were replaced was around 36000km - and was using original bearings.
did you get wheels balanced after the first time?
keep eye on stick on weights falling off too, unbalanced wheels can kill bearings.

Even had the tires changed under warranty the first time, as we suspected those. Nothing wrong with the balancing of the wheels sadly.
I declare we need an official Road Rants thread.
And my dashcam hasn't recorded anything from today. FML.
Also dear the guy who pulled out on me then swore. Get your lanky wrinkled ass out your van and say that. ****.

Why the wait if it's there?
