Your bad driving encounters

100% agree - although I'm slightly more sympathetic to some dash cams that show the dash cammer as part of the problem now, as I genuinely had zero belief this lad was going to crack on once I made eye contact about 4 car lengths away from him.

Meanwhile the bloke in the van is saying to his mates "I can't believe the guy in the car carried on driving straight past me, I even made eye contact as I was reversing out but he just kept driving at me" :p
 
I find Vauxhalls and Fords to be very working class cars. 90% of the time I see one on the roads it's got some neck-tattoed, white trainer, footy supporting, COME-ON-EILEEN type driving it. The type of person you only hang out with behind closed doors as you wouldn't want to be seen dead with them in public.

Asda seems to attract this type of person rather disproportionately too for some reason.

Oi I own a Ford.

Far worse would be a German marque owner with their usual delusions of grandeur because they're under the fallacy that they're driving a 'prestige' motor when reality is that they're driving one of the most common ones on the road.

Haha yeah definitely.

There are a lot of people who incorrectly believe "first to the line" applies in situations like this and situations like passing parked cars, etc.

Though sometimes if traffic is busy you have to be a bit pushy eventually.

Quiet, peasant! Get back in the fields.

Haha yeah... this situation was like when people flash folk out of side roads when the road is clear behind them and once you'd gone it'd have been clear.

In my job we see a lot of 'beat the bus' syndrome. It's an extension of 'Gotta be in front'. Especially at merge points or obstructions like parked cars on their side yet they'll forge through expecting the bus to stop.

Issue with the last one is that I don't own the bus, I won't be paying for repairs and I don't pay the insurance premiums. Additionally me braking hard is likely to injury a apssenger and be on me. If I hit you because you failed to yield as you should and the passengers get hurt, it's on your insurance

EDIT: One I've seen a little bit lately as well is people in white Toyota Hilux who are massive throbbing nobs - which I just find pitiful.

Not just hilux. I find 99% of double cab pickup drivers to be total *****. They love driving up peoples backsides

There seems to be a special line lately of people driving white Hilux who are unhinged, there are a couple of instances in dashcam videos online but I've seen it myself as well. It isn't a good look - it kind of conjures up a mental image of a very angry man wearing nothing but an adult diaper.
