After sounding my horn.. as you do! She and her passenger laughed and I was then greeted with her passenger (a fellow 50-something) displaying the wanker sign.
Getting cut up at 10mph - I can understand the fright the bus driver must have got, and how lucky you were to manage to cut her off from the manoeuvre she was trying to make.
I have no idea what the road layout is, but maybe she joined the system on the far left and her route meant that she needed to get to the far right? I have that when I go into Glasgow on the M8 and want to come off at Charing Cross . And, do you know what? At 10mph a bit of give-and-take actually keeps the traffic moving. Until someone decides to "teach someone a lesson".
My pet hate is when people insist on going into roadworks nose to tail - if everyone left a sensible gap, we'd all merge in turn and get through at 50mph, instead of sitting for hours trying to filter into non-existent gaps.
