    Angry That's it. I've had enough.

    Do you know what my next car's going to be? I'll tell you. A clapped out almost-ready-for-the-scrapheap Volvo 245.
    Why? Because I plan to use it to T-bone the next 5 or 7 series driver that I see with the well-known "broken indicators" problem. He's going to think he's been hit by Al Qaeda with a caravan, I swear. I'm not just doing it for me, it's for all of us. The world'll be a better place, and in a 245, I might even survive .

    Aaaaaahhhh...that's better. Sorry, I was nearly t-boned myself by a 5 series that didn't indicate on the way into work. Harrumph.

    Went out to the local garden centre last weekend - car in front was a 4x4, either a Shogun or a Frontera, can't really remember, anyway I just happened to notice he didn't use his indicators, at any of the mini roundabouts.

    So we get to a T junction mini -roundabout (you can go left or right) and the road is wide enough for two cars, he's on the right hand side, so I assume he's going right (he still isn't indicating) So where there is space on the left hand side, I pull along side him and go left, thinking nothing of it.

    I look in my mirror and hes following me.

    We get to the garden centre and pull off the main road, I happen to look in my mirror and he's giving me the w*nker sign and mouthing something unpleasant at me as he continues up the road.

    And the red-mist descended.

    Muggins here reverses full tilt back ito the road and floors it after him, missus paralysed with fear and hanging on for grim death - after about half a mile I'm back behind him and pull along side him at the next junction, Seeing me he stops and I stop, he opens his door and leans out to talk to me, and I asked him firmly why he felt the need to insult me and what it was exactly that I had done to annoy him.

    He denied the whole thing.

    Had something similar on my way in today with a numpty in an mpv sat in the middle of the road at a junction, denying anyone from continuing with their journey while they dithered.. Why you need an mpv for one kid anyway.. and if you're going to drive a fecking bus, learn how to drive the bloody thing!

    and I usually get some utter cocknugget cutting me up on the roundabout on the way home.. if you're carrying straight on at the roundabout, and you're in the left hand lane, bloody well stay in the left hand lane around the roundabout, and don't cut into my lane because you're too bloody lazy to turn the wheel a bit more!

    People who cut me up, tailgate me, deem it funny to park their 4x4 on my drive, people who drive huge ass jeeps on british roads (they aren't needed, you live in a city, WHERE THE HELL IS THE NEED FOR A 4X4 THERE ARE NO OFF ROADING IN NEWCASTLE) people who find it acceptable to do 50mp in the fast lane on the A1, Old BMW drivers that buy a 5 - 7 series and drive it so slow they could get out and push it faster, people who think its funny to shout abuse at me as I over took them due to them not knowing what a speed limit is.

    I think thats the list of people who get a full pelt of my abuse on the roads and they soon regret it as I am one stage off batting the people 10 ways and sideways. Especially people who cut me up and they give you that sign in their car saying your loss, oh dear you just got my attention, I will follow them for a while get beside them and scream blue murder. Now I ain't the best driver in the world and I've done some daft stuff, but I dont intentionally cut people up. Best ones are the charvs in their Nova's, he regretted having a go at me, he got out his car, threw a punch (btw the police are watchig this unfold) I throw a punch back, kid hits the floor coppers come across and here is me thinking great, nicked. Nope they said, saves us a job he's been driving like a tool all night and they carted him off and towed his car.

    As for people who think parking on my drive is good to go pick up their kids, well heres and idea, walk down the street you lazy crettins, one example, guy lives 18 doors away from me, making it a 2 minute walk to the school. Nope he gets in his 4x4, drives down the road gets the kids and then drives back up the road. He made the mistake of parking on my drive, I returned home from work and couldn't park myself, so I dump my car smack bang the middle of the street and the drivers behind me are going potty. All the while I am bouncing this 4x4 off my drive and into the road with the drivers behind my car getting out to help me. Guy didn't think it was funny but after I explained that what I did was the one of many choices that didn't translate into his jeep bing smashed up he shut up about it.

    It seems once people pass their tests they seem to forget what the rules are. Now I break the rules every no and then but not at the expense of another driver. So if I can do it why can't others. Nichomach I applaude you on that tbh, people scream blue murder and then don't seem to want to back it up when you ask them about it. Good on you. For that volvo, you could drive off a cliff hit the bottom and that thing will still be in one bit, the tanks of the volvo's tbh.

    Schmunk, I will hold my hand up here, I use racing lines, but I am not that much of a tool to do it when others are on the road beside, in front or behind me as I've seen mates being wiped out from doing it and cutting up others.

    Agreed (apart from the wiped out bit).

    I want to know WHY ALL BMW drivers drive like ******s? EVERY single bloody one of them seems to act like a penis in my experience in some shape or form. Pulling out of a junction 100 yards infront of me when I'm ploughing along happily at 40MPh seems to be the latest BMW-craze. I then have to whack on the brakes and watch the poor bugger behind me in my rear view mirror almost **** themselves because they have to slam on the brakes and come to within an inch of rear-ending me

    Not indicating on roundabouts is awfully annoying and all too common isn't it

    As someone nicely put it on these forums a while ago, you'd think indicators were an expensive added extra

    I agree folks...

    I don't drive - I can but just don't at the moment and the amount of stupid idiots on the road is TRUELY AMAZING.

    Monday for Example - Finish work and getting a lift off a mate home. Come to the junction at the end of works road and a white Fiesta is in front of us. She pulls out onto the road and basically ****s herself as somebody is coming down the road doing more than 30 mph so as she's pulling onto the main road she SLAMS ON full wack causing us to bump her doing less than 5 mph.

    As for people not using indicators - I nearly had fisty-cuffs on Tesco car-park with a middle aged cockjockey driving that BMW 4x4 that thought he owned the carpark and flew round a corner, mounting the pavement and nearly causing me to spill my shopping.

    I saw red ... watched where he was parking and went over and give him what for.

    ... and as for crap drivers... don't get me started on the over 70's *shakes fist*

    Micro-ATX system built into car with USB webcam on front and rear is a great idea

    Can also be used as an entertainment system with mp3 support.

    /me runs to patent idea and charge the earth for it
