I'm not on there. WOOOO go me 
I can just see the old codgers now. Doing a 'safe' 55 on the dual carriage way scribbling down the number plate and a detailed description of the incident... whilst merrily driving along not looking at the road ahead

i came across someone just like this
was driving to West Midlands safari park, never been there before in my life, so didnt know the roads.
I was driving along a dual carriageway and saw 1 lane queing, and the right hand lane not. Not knowing what was ahead, i just continued on up the dual carriageway. Rose over a crest, and over the other side of it it turned back into one lane. Now being british of course, we cant merge in turn we "que jump". So as soon as i saw the fact that the lane ended up ahead, i put my indicators on and waited to be let in. Bloke next to me wound down the window and had a go at me for "que jumping" and tryed to move his car over to block me.
Needless to say i just went up the kerb and merged in further up with somebody who let me in.
Numptys.

They sound like they could all have been written by my dad, and other fellow members of the IAM. They really are sad old moaners with way too much time on their hands. If you want a laugh/to be infuriated, get the IAM's quarterly magazine and read the letters page. It's full of inane debate and queries about particular scenarios on the road and who was in the right/wrong.
These fellows do have their hearts in the right places, because there is some terrible driving out there as we all know, and it's good to address such issues, but they're going about it in the wrong way by being obsessed with speed and coming across with a 'holier than thou' attitude.

Every time I hear about this site I just can't resist having another look for my reg plate on there. Sometimes when I make what could be called an "aggressive" manoeuvre (err... crossing 2 lanes to reach a sliproad after an overtake ) I can almost hear the folks in the Micra behind me tutting to themselves.

Someone should put a complaint of a car noticed swerving all over the road whilst writing a reg plate on a scrap of paper to upload to a stupid website.
