I think as I get older I'm getting more grumpy as a road user, maybe a little less tolerant... but things just wind me up more

This person is called....

THE INSIDE MAN


The inside man *&^%$ me off everyday, usually a low end focus driven by a balding failiure of a busnessman in a suit.

I filter past, in very slow traffic.... then maintain my position by the white line and ride as normal. He then uses his car as a battering ram and shoves his car up the inside of me everytime I stop.

Even if there is no room he will even mount the pavement to do this ?, don't understand... I filtered, I'm on a bike, get over it.

Todays inside man was just like this, I lost the plot the third time he did it, and he was greeted with me pinging zx10 off the rev limiter with a nice display of flames and a fair amount of swearing. Ok, im childish, but made me feel better.


Anyone else have people that you meet daily on the road, be it in car or on bike, that with age you just can't tolerate ?
 
People in Citroen Xsara Picassos, Vauxhall Zafiras, etc etc. All diesels.

You know the type. The 'I might be 40 and driving a tediously horrible diesel van with windows BUT I CAN STILL DRIVE' who drive like their trousers have caught fire, making getting past them all that more difficult (Seriously, I know the OcUK overtake heros can overtake anything but getting past something being driven on its limit is so difficult as to be dangerous).

It's like they've got something to prove.

At least the ScrappageMorons doing 40mph in 59 plate Kia's are easily despatched.
 
The person who lets every single car out of a junction.

Had this today, they stopped in front of me just before the junction, and the traffic lights went through a whole cycle before they got the balls to stop more traffic coming out and start moving again :mad:

or are you secretly bitter they have more 'storage compartments' than you :D

people who drive these motors only do as their wife made them, they had no choice, but they still rev the *&^% out of them like they drive some sports car

or

they thought the advert on tv was coooool :\
 
Loads of them, everyday. I don't particularly enjoy my commute to work these days, so when some retarded moron extends my journey time by refusing to do more than 30mph on an unrestricted road, and then also slows down when traffic comes the other way I do tend to get quite irate. I definitely need to chill out a bit as I'm heading for either a heart attack or a "Falling Down" moment.
 
The lane discipline here is terrible so I guess the people that annoy me are those who don't indicate and drift in and out of lanes without warning.

Oh, and those ***** who do 60kmh whether the limit is 50kmh or 100 kmh. That really winds me up - although, on the plus side, the police presence and intervention is dramatically greater here than in Blighty so it can be quite amusing to see them pulled over.

That's the one :mad:

I often wonder; do they actually know there is a huge queue of traffic built up behind them and just don't care, or did they last use a rear view mirror in 1953 and don't intend to use it again?

I tend to dream about driving some monstrously powerful truck so I can just push them along at 60mph, with all four of their wheels locked up and smoking. Probably time to get the number of a good shrink...
 
I had to drive that road twice a day for a year, it drove me mad. Only overtaking spot on the entire road is immediatly after the railway bridge and even then its only dooable heading towards the A38.

It was usually a HONDA JAZZ as well :(

Exactly this - except round here they don't drive people carriers, they all drive Mitsubishi Warriors and Nissan Whateverthey'recalleds. At 90mph. Everywhere. Like, absolutely everywhere.
 
The single attitude that is really getting me irate at the moment is the people who think you shouldn't be allowed to derive any pleasure from driving, and that if you do you're some sort of boy racing criminal who mows down 6 year-olds on a daily basis.

I used to work in Totnes, I had to cope with that EVERY DAY. It's a pretty good road too, which makes it all the more depressing.

And don't tar all diesel drivers with the same brush, I drive properly :p

Although why would you need to be passing a car thats being driven to it's limit anyway?

This, and people who moan and moan about diesels, really wearing thin.
 
I had a guy in a saxo accelerate when i was overtaking him today, he was doing 40 in a nsl and i ended up at 90 just to get past him. "No i dont want to race you, you pimply soap dodger. I would just like to get past without being killed!"
 
Old people.

Old people in Honda Jazzs or other Daihatsu boxes on wheels which are THE most common old person car on this rock.

I come up behind one of them and I am *Picard face palming* followed by a sigh as its odds on for an old person.
 
People who drive cars that tell you "its already been posted" when you are trying to bring some info to a forum or just having a laugh
