Odd behaviour...

Ive never had a car that gets such a positive reaction. Bar this cretin today and some old fudge packer on a push bike down my local country lane who was simply looking to kick off with any car I've only had excellent comments and positivity. Guess this is why I found this odd.
 
The roads are full of idiots, I was heading down the M6 last night, after 11ish due to roadworks it's down to one lane,50mph limit, bearing in mind I'm in an artic following a long line of artics a car behind kept flashing and weaving to my left and right, I pulled as far over to the left as I could so numb nuts could see I was following a line of flowing traffic (and for me to be sure it wasn't police or an ambulance) and I carried on, once the road went back to three lanes around Sandbach I moved back to the near side lane along with the rest of the trucks.

Numb nuts then proceeded to brake check me three times before driving off slowly, he pulled into Keele services so I decided to follow him in, he stopped blocking the entrance to the HGV park getting out and ranting at me he was going to phone the police(!) fine I said, it's all on my dash cam, with that he got back in his car and drove off....

I've no idea what his problem was, I'm certain I'd done nothing other than be in front of him to get his goat, but, had my truck been loaded he'd have had a rather flat car!(thankfully it was empty having just unloaded at Morrisons distribution centre in Northwich)

Trucker hatred? Dislike of Eddie Stobart perhaps? Had a barney with his Mrs? Who knows.
The roads are full of cretinous idiots alas.

Ive seen this sort of stuff before, other motorists getting angry with other people for no apparent reason. One person really angry, the other just looking with the WTF face, I've just never experienced it before with no apparent reason for their angst.
 
I had someone stop in busy flowing traffic, junp out their car and smash my side window. Roid rage maybe, police weren't interested though.

Love the kiss blowing, that's one of my tricks too. It's like watching a kettle boil sometimes.
 
Some people just learn there own bad habits and then if everyone else doesn't have them they get ****ed off. He probably would have done something that you wouldn't have done.

The other day some my nan was pulling out of a parking space waved to some guy saying she was coming out and he can park there. He got out his car stuck his head in the window and started screaming at her. Luckily my nan isn't particularly fragile just called him a **** and drove off but still. Unnecessary abuse.
 
Had similar, going down an A-road doing speed limit. This Audi A5 decided to overtake me. All I did was shake my head as in less than half a mile we would be coming onto a roundabout. Got to the roundabout and he got out if his car screaming at me wanting to know what my problem was and wanting me out the car so he could shove my head up my own ****. Unknown 5o him though the car that had just pulled up behind me happened to be an unmarked police car. Copper stepped out and the bloke just turned tail got back in the car and off he went.

Saw his car later that day, didn't look A5 shaped then. Karma can be just at times
 
Probably the sort of person who can only see one car in front. "Look at this moron in his Audi TT hogging the outside lane at 50."

Lol mad idiot annoyed that you can afford a R8, nothing more. I would have given you the thumbs up for having such a car.

I wouldn't.


I would have just driven with the windows down quietly basking in the glory.
Oh and the blowing a kiss thing, I do it all the time. You can see their heads start to boil sometimes. It's brilliant!

People get this angry but no one wants to pull over and stand and bang when the opportunity presents itself, which is the end game I want to get to if anyone roads rage at me, such big men when protected in their metal bubble.
