Is abusing people replacing ignoring people?

when i pulled up in the carpark she followed me, and pulled up beside me, jumped out of her car and started F'ing and blinding at me.. demanding that i should goto the police station with her and tell them what i had just done....

i just told her what i thought, and walked off

should have gone with her to the station, made her look a fool

I find that now I'm on the road all day long I tend to be calmer about idiots because you get used to it and you drive like everyone else is a muppet. You reach the stage where you expect stupidity so when it happens, you don't react as much.

Naturally I still have my moments just like everyone else but I find people who don't drive as much are worse.

My pet hate is those who appear to have no real thought pattern about their road positioning and manoevering. Eg, heading down the M23 last Saturday, silver astra in the slow lane, I'm in the middle lane alongside in the process of overtaking. There was absolutely zero traffic and yet for some reason the astra driver decided he wanted to throw his indicator on and move immediately into the middle lane. Whilst I didn't react apart from to swerve into the (fortunately) empty fast lane, my other half felt it necessary to tell the very surprised looking driver that he was sexually self sufficient.

Had a funny one a few months back similar to the OP. I was in a mate's car coming up to a roundabout we know well - we were going right so naturally got in the right hand lane. Now in fairness the roundabout is a bit odd in that both the left and middle lanes are for turning left, even though straight on takes you onto a dual carriageway. However, it's pretty obvious given that there's only one lane which lane you should be in. A couple of lads in some chavmobile drive up alongside us revving their engine, as the lights go green they try to cut across us to go straight on.

What happens? They end up veering off to the left, nearly crashing whilst waving their arms out of the window in a "come on, i'll av ya!" whilst hurling all kinds of abuse, none of which i expect they were able to spell. We go right, continuing on our journey while they end up stuck going the wrong way

In the middle of Liverpool i was in my old **** Fiesta with the knackered clutch, and I used to have to turn the engine off to get it into first.

I did this just as some lights went green, so had to put in first, and restart the engine. This was wayyyy to long for the tool behind me in her Merc, who preceeded to beep me, hand gestures and all, flailing her arms about....

Followed by me getting out the car (6 foot 2, she was tiny) and going upto her window, her shaking like a ****ing dog. When she didn't wind her window down, I opened her door, and politely asked her what was the matter.

She just gibbered how she thought I didn't see the lights.... what a knob.

The vast majority of people cant drive, full stop.

Some of the antics you get at roundabouts, its a wonder how some of these people ever get to where they want to go without crashing.

You're no better than her if you got out of your car and started threatening people ( it doesn't matter how politely you ask whatever, you don't get out and open peoples doors in traffic...).
