what is it with some people?

Driving home last night to High Wycombe, I come off the motorway to be greeted by a nice queue on the exit road that isn't moving due to an accident on one of the local roads.

I nip down the inside and a guy starts to pull out, so I wait, thinking "he was there first, if he wants to come out I'll let him". I'm a nice guy. But he only moves a little bit because the traffic has stopped. So I wait, with about a 5 metre gap to the car in front.

I figure that I'll let him out if he wants to go when the traffic starts moving - I have nothing to lose anyway. It's only a gap.

A few minutes go by, and a lady in a black C2 comes up behind me. Gets close. Then starts beeping. Beeps again. And again. I'm about to get out and say "what is your problem?" but I'm placid, and I reckon she can't see the cars are blocked a few metres in front of me.

She screams back on to the motorway and cuts in front of loads of people further up. It's a 3 lane exit road by the way.

I have the opportunity to pass her on the inside a bit later, so I honk my horn and gesture a "what the f**k is going on in your head" gesture.

Then another age goes by and she passes me, stops the traffic, and is waving her hands about frantically. I wind down my window, and she starts ranting and ranting a f-ing and blinding some utter utter rubbish about cars in front and blah blah blah, she's going proper mental.

So I lost the plot and said about forty f words and god knows what else at her and that she was a mindless b1tch and should get a f**king life, then I have no idea what else I said, I was just spouting abuse.

What is it with people like this? The closer you get to London the more aggressive people get. It was a 5 metre gap FFS! she wouldn't have gone any further if I'd closed it! jeeeeeesus!

I'm starting a website about motorway drving

I will add a section on impatience.

I open up my door as if to come out... usually shut them right up....(I have no intention of coming out tho)
The funny thing is they think theyre in the right but blatently aren't so they think they have a right to beep & shout...
Try it next time... open up your door and look mad (dont smile haha) or even better... if your in front of them go as slow as you can that'll deffo wind them up....
(Yup I too can be a c.u.n.t... i try not to be but sometimes theres no other option)

HAHA i lurve the ole open the door trick, ppl soon hush up.

Also the old 'pretend to be a complete useless driver' motif is always good to wind someone up, i personally go for the one where there behind you and your going slow on purpose and its yr turn off, if its a left hand turn i hang out on the right hand side of the road and slow right down to near enuff a grinding halt b4 i turn so that there all up on the dash heavy breaking

HAHAH

Cant beat winding up a retard on the roads, Anyone ever tried the ole 'stall it at the lights and pretend to be a s**t driver' one?

LOL

this always gets people screwin behind u, especially if theve been tailgating u etc.

And the thing is they will think your a push over, so when they decide to get close and shout abuse at you, you can instantly hop out of your car and say to them

'What did you say mate' ?

:-p

. . then feel the pants wobble as they deposit bum juice

Seems like I've launched it prematurely! I've now added a page dedicated to the moronic woman in the first post.

once I've done another few pages I'll start posting it up in a couple of forums and go from there, glad the feedback is good so far

One of my favourites for getting someone who's driving behind you like an idiot is this.....If the opportunity arrises and you have to pull up to a stop, simpley take your car out of a forward gear and stick it into reverse! As soon as they see those reverse lights come on and you start edging backwards they haven't got a clue wot to do!

Funny to do aswell if your mates convoying with you some where!
