I know. Hence I don't let no fucker out these days. Taxi drivers are the worst, think they can just pull out of the taxi rank straight into the traffic. Erm, fuck off!

This really pisses me off too. I always feel like turning round and telling them to learn some fucking manners. I also hate those complete cunts who speed up to not let you over the lane, as if they have gained something by doing this when you will now miss your turning. I always go into macho mode then and feel like I have to prove something, so one day I'll crash because of my temper.

I hate the people who has cars on their side of the road and think they can get past, making you on the other side of the road stop to let them go. I aim for them and wait for the swearing and shouting as they have to reverse or get into a tight gap to let me by

Then if you let them go, as you said they don't say thanks :headbang:

I do exactly the same thing!! As if to say 'I'll wave for the both of us'. My ex's Mother used to say she didn't wave as by law they had to let her out. How the fuck that works I don't know.

100% agree. fucking annoying if people don't acknowledge it.

what also annoys me is if you see a car waiting to pull out and you slow to help them out and then they pay no attention and you've slowed down for fuck all and have to drive on

Or they acknowledge you and don't seem quite sure what to do. They hesitate for some reason. 'Fucking go then!!' I don't need telling twice, I am half out before told.

i once had this on a motorway and i was on the middle lane there was a massive gap between the two cars on the outside lane so decided to pop in, but the guy behind in a st220 estate decided to speed up to stop me so i squeezed inbetween the st220 and the car in the middle lane he let me in so i proceeded to call him a wanker in my mirror to witch he put the sirens and lights on , luckily he didn't pull me over though

Always seems to be those birds in Range Rovers or X5's etc for me, the ones with faces like smacked asses and blowjob addictions

Worst though are the old and/or useless drivers who are blatantly going to pull out on you but wait until you've ground to a fuckin halt before they do, if you're gonna go just go!

glad im not the only one, another one that really grates on me is the street near by that has these speed restriction things where only one car can fit through and you have to give way to cars coming the other way, the amount of times ive drove straight at someone for taking liberties, 1 car sneaking through i'd expect but when its 4-5 cars doing it really pisses me off. then have the cheek to throw me the v's when i give them abuse!!!!


edit.. this

I only tend to let van drivers out, they tend to be the ones who give you a little acknowlegement.

People that get me are the ones that fail to merge, instead the stick to the bumper of the car in front instead of one in one out method leaving them room to merge. I just drive side by side forcing them to stay in their lane.

That or people who pull out of a junction like a mad man in front of you then SLOW down???!!! Or those that speed up to prevent you getting out of a junction, then slow down as they reach you incase you go for it??

Have to say that it is usually birds that have no road manner, as far as they are concerned, the road is theirs and everyone should revolve around them.

A few years back I was waiting at a junction to turn right, there was a line of traffic backed up to the left of me, and some dick is determined not to let me pull out and drive the other way? so guns it,giving me the smug look.

That smug look was quickly wiped of his face when he turned to see the stationary traffic ahead of him. I had great satisfaction laughing and pointing at him as he burried his car in the back of a fiesta, gave him a wave and drove off.

edit.. this
it's the same at roadworks where ther eis only one lane

soon as my lights go green i pull out, and the checky fookers coming the other way get stuck

fuck them if they want to try and do a sneaky, as some fookers found out the other day at the richmond bridge roadworks, made them both back the fuck up

but you think, if someone doens't say thanks to you, you are going to be pissed off

which leads to more anger from you if the next person does it

and so on and so forth

on the other hand, indian women don't say thank you, so i never let them through
