I've just had the crappest journey home ever.

I'm in works car park. A guy infront stops to talk to his mate at the side of the road. I went round the side of him. He didn't like it. He insists on tailgating me and then undertaking me on a filter! wtf!!!

Then i'm passing through a suburb and a Vectra comes racing up to the back of me. I was doing a shade over 30 in a 30. He was sat so close behind me I couldn't see his number plate. I braked sharpish because a young kid ran out a garden at the side of the road. He didn't run out on to the road thankfully but I only dropped about 5mph. Vectra man almost flies up my rectum. He pulls round me, blocks the whole road and gets out the car to give me a gobful and lose his temper. He was trying to be hard saying he could beat the **** out of me and I told him I would be laughing through the blood as i'll make sure i'm in the courtroom when he goes to jail for it. What a tosser!
 
i think the sun must bring out the worst in people :(

i got reversed into when i was walking into tesco and the driver had a moan at me, should of gone down like a sack of spuds :D
 
yeah, people like that really do my head in. I had that happen to me once before too.

And it is bank holiday too so all the farts are out in force this weekend.

FAO MODERATORS: Soz. Thought i'd put this in LL.
 
was driving down dual carrigeway and came to roundabout, thought ok thats cool, carried on in fast lane, as the roundabout is for the dual carrigeway to continue, so both lanes straight on, and this... person, cuts the apex of the roundabout so just goes from slow lane, cuts across fast lane and then into the slow lane again, whilst i was alongside in the fast lane :eek: a swift :tosser: to the guy and all was well in the world :D

Your as bad as he was!! you gave as much bak :p

You should have let him get out then driven off!
 
you wanna try riding a motorcycle!! It is twice as bad!! I have people cutting out in front of me!! People trying to run me off the road for passing them at the lights and poeple trying to block me off so i can't pass them!! I ride a bike that is atleast twice as fast as them on take off, more versatile than there car and is esier to get around!! So obviously i am gonna take over them in traffic!! I still Keep to the speed limit most of the time!! It is funny going down barlow moor road!! If anyone lives or drives through chorlton they will know what that road is like!! I pass through the traffic and get to the lights and i am in front, take of and they are way behind me so i stick toe the limit (or maybe 5+) and when they catch up to me they try to overtake me!! Why?? there is no need!! But still that is manchester!! (if this don't make sence please let me know and i will re write when am sober)
 
Yep, too many people like that on the road. Why don't they just chill out and learn to go with the flow.

I pulled out to filter behind some silly cow in a golf the other day as i was turning right. She slammed her brakes on and gave me evils, like i was gonna hit her :confused: . Her doing that made it more likely that i would hit her as suddenly the flow of traffic i was gonna filter into came to a halt in front of me.
Anyway she happened to pull into the same petrol station as me so i looked at her and told her to get a life :D

If i do something wrong in my car that affects someone else i will admit it and put my hand up to appolagise. It is extremely rare but everyone can make a mistake.
But what i find really infuriating is when the other person still thinks its ok to slag you off after you have said sorry. That usually sends me into one :nutter:

Yeah, the other day I was driving the works Transit through a 20mph, one way, single lane zone near a school, doing about 17mph a car pulled over and parked on double yellows leaving me not enough time to stop, but just enough room to get past, the driver then opened his door, making the gap even tighter. He got out and shouted at me to slow down, even though by that time I was only doing a little under 15mph. He could have just waited for me to pass before getting out, because there was nothing behind me and he shouldn't have even pulled over and stopped there in the first place.
 
i do try to stay calm when i'm out.edinburgh has to be one of the least car friendly cities in the UK.just recently they have shut 3 MORE roads to cars and again reversed a one way system.basically funnels traffic onto old cobbled streets that cant handle the volume of traffic. lots of road rage in the city:(
not helped by our local council wanting to bring in congestion charging while there closing off the roads ???!!!
sometimes you have to be the bigger person,even if it does bug you for hours afterwards
 
I faced a few today as well, let's just say my mom now believes me when I say my car is invisible - have had people pull out on me, cut me up, tailgating and so on and I had full headlights on. What more can a girl do? My poor horn is worn out, need a bigger one :eek:
 
I always do the wave when I've done something silly (happens to the best of us) but the number of people who believe it's their god given right to do what they want, when they want is getting ridiculous.

Unfortunately, most of them seem to believe they have the right to threaten, intimidate and harass anyone who dares to beep, flash or otherwise if they do anything wrong.

I've had a gibbon stop and block the road, then get out and punch my bonnet, bloke in a range rover pull over and want a fight (so I waited until he got out and drove around him), been tailgated and had the 'brake' treatment all because I've beeped or flashed someone who has been driving like an arse.

The things you see when you haven't got your gun.... :rolleyes:
