1.why do people always drive in the overtaking/fast lane at 10mph slower than the speed limit, wont pull over and shake their heads when you undertake them
2.why does every scooby owner hate cossies so much but cant help snapping their necks to stare when they see them and or turn round to try and prove theyre superior... fooking tossers lol
3. why do chavmobiles and dumb women drive with their sidelights and fog lights on during the day

Why is it every little chave thinks his saxo or corsa is faster than my cossie..
Why when you race a expensive sports car, the owner can never look at you afterwards and smile..
Why do people in 4x4's think they own the road, but if show a piece of grass go running to mummy.....
And why do people have to say " IS THAT A REAL ONE MATE !!!! "

. Scooby isn't superior, just different.Ooh, and personal pet hate is people who park at the side of the road, see me coming, wait till I just about get there and then open the door to get out forcing me to play chicken with the 263 bus coming the other way on the way to Redcar. Bastids

People that sit in the middle lane of motorways when the inside lane is clear, it seems that most of the time, the inside lane is the place to be if you want to put your foot down cos its fooking empty

Why cant arseholes park in between the white lines in car parks instead of on/cutting across them. To the people who do this please leave a tin opener so i can get into mine. Also if you go back to your car before me, please dont use my car as a door stop while you try to fit your fat arse into your car. The amount of little dents are got down my motor is no joke!!

its because they have a TOTAL lack of concentration, and upon seeing you draw level, they think "shit, there's a lorry overtaking, i'm going too slow" and boot it
don't you hate it when it happens with the same car 2 miles up the road?

everytime he does it they change to green.
Perhaps they were going to change anyway like they should do - Idiot
2)
Why do some people indicate round corners when they are not turns. ?
I.E. A road has a 90 degree bend in it with no other exit yet they indicate

(I'll try it again this week and report back! )Regarding indicating round corner's, there's one that catches me unaware on rare occasions down a back street on the way to work, sometime's half asleep and slip the indicator on!
NOT very often though!

Last year i had a bit of a squabble with a vectra i was driving down a narrow street only about 5 mph when the car driver thought he had right of way, so he pulled out right into the side of me now unfortunatly he got hooked up on one of my wheel nuts, so after i picked his car up then dropped back down twice he decided to stop and this was the result
and the truck
and the truck
