Had one of those silly moments coming out of a Tesco express last night I had right of way when a   girl racer decided to overtake parked cars on her side of the road and completely blocked my path out of the car park in which she wanted to get in there was about four cars waiting behind me and she sat there looking at me firing daggers lol she wound her window down and said why cant you just reverse or drive on the pavement my reply wasnt very nice but it reaaly got my back up when she refused to reverse to let us all out so I just sat there until she did .Iam normally very courteous but these days a bit cheesed off with drivers who have no courtesy at all

Rude, bad drivers come in all shapes and sizes, genders and ages.

People who don't indicate on roundabouts are my particular pet hate.   Do they think the rest of us are telepathic??

The other one is the middle manager in his mid range car with his jacket hanging in the back who comes wooshing past a long line of traffic that has been patiently waiting in line, sticks on his left hand indicator and gives daggers at you if you won't let him in (usually on the M6 in rush hour in my experience).  Some people think they are above the rules of the road and we should all get out of their way.   Arrogant and rude beyond words.

You may laugh but they appear to be oblivious to any other vehicles, just take notice.



I have to agree baseball cap or flat cap both rather oblivious to driving conditions...maybe drug related prescription/non prescription

Bad drivers come in all shapes, sizes and ages but the one that really hacks me off is lack of courtesy. Every year, we experience this as the visitors arrive and have to drive on our single track roads. More than a fair few of them ignore the police notices; they obviously haven't read the Highway Code or all the notices on the ferries and quite a lot can't reverse! And then there's the attitude that if you have a 4x4 you can go onto the verge - never thinking of deep offlets, deep ditches, very large rocks etc. Why should I damage my car because they cannot obey the rules?

And then, there's the times you pull in to let oncoming traffic past as it's the sensible thing to do and rarely get an acknowledgement.

As for courtesies like holding a door open and letting someone through and getting no thank you, if in a good mood, it'll be "Thank you for holding the door open". If in a bad mood, I'll just say "Where's your manners?" Response by "offended gentleman" earlier this week to latter comment was to tell me off for being rude. My response was"Oooo! Didn't know royals had bad manners; should I curtsey?" Offended gentleman (who, like me, is an incomer, but, unlike me, an inveterate snob) went off red-faced at locals' laughter. A bit cruel of us, I know, but he's heartedly detested and has zero manners himself.

Got in tonight after visiting my brother in law and thought i would take note of a few things that other drivers do.
Top of my list was younger drivers who sit on your bumper.
2nd no indicators on r/bouts.
But the one that won tonights star prize was the young couple who had their music so loud that they didnt hear the fire engine behind them.
