Road Rage yo!!!
So easy to Rage though with the way some people drive, Saturday I came up behind a space wagon thing with 3 kids in the back, I always stay well back if i see kids in the car so had to wait about 5 minutes for the Dad to see me behind him, He indicates to go left so I accelerate to go past him, He doesn't like this so brings his car WITH HIS KIDS 
back over to the right lane, This is on the A14 which is only 2 lane. 
I just looked at him as i passed & shook my head pointing at his kids in the back of his car, What the **** was he thinking.

When you are travelling along at a decent speed 75-85 in the outside lane passing traffic for someone to see you coming, and pull out anyway doing 65 and not bother accelerating.
Then people start undertaking the slow car, pulling infront, and 5 miles later you are still not passed the traffic in the middle lane you were trying to get by before they pulled out.

When there are two lanes for straight on and a merge in turn, but everyone sits in the nearside lane, backs it up for miles and because there are traffic islands, no-one can get past to use the other lane :/

This is one I forgot, had roadworks in Edinburgh recently that suffered badly from this. So one day I casually pull into the other lane and start passing vehicles sitting in lane one for the lights, in the space of thirty seconds I had the finger from two different people and one person almost rammed into the side of me as they physically tried to block me from getting past, despite the massive yellow signs telling people to merge in turn and use both lanes. I mean come on, its not a difficult concept without the massive signs telling you what to do.
I can't even remember what side its on, its second nature what you do!
I bet you waved to them.
Thats where he was going wrong, he wasnt waving!
Historically speaking the indicator stalk was always on the opposite side from the gearstick, however American/European manufacturers decided (at various points in time each, but it really kicked off in the early 90's) that the was no point bothering to make extra RHD stalks just for the UK, Australia and a couple of other markets so those countries could just use LHD stalks and like it.
It became so widespread that even British manufacturers started to put them on the same side as the gearstick and eventually Japanese makers started to do it for their UKDM cars too.
And I for one hate it with a burning passion lol.
If I saw them looking I usually put my hand up a bit as it's on the steering wheel
Indicates that I'm fully aware who they are and am not just taking the ****
hahahaha
