On my way to playing Mahjong this morning I was running a little late.

I came up to the usual road works and the lights were on red so I patiently sat there behind 3 cars.

The lights changed to green and the first two cars moved the third car just sat there so I flashed my headlights at him.

He then put his hand up (no rude signs) and drove off.

Do i need anger management or slightly ticked off management for flashing my lights :nusenuse: or was my behaviour acceptable :nusenuse:

You’re genetically designed not to respond to any form of management. Next time sound your horn at the same time which you know very well is what you really meant to do.

Last night coming home in rain on the motorway a guy was tailgating and flashed me even though there was nowhere to go in front of me. Eventually we passed the truck and guy in front and I moved to inside lane.
With the rain I couldn't see plate.

He was just so impatient.

They 'the council wallers' have just repainted the junction markings around here, but the prick who thought he was driving an 18 wheeler was totally oblivious & cut the junction in half in his 1.0 piece of crap.
People are too lazy to even use the steering wheel accordingly.

I used to get that a lot in tamworth and it didnt help that the arrows etc on one roundabout are wrong, i used to find it funny when so dickhed in a posh car tried to cut me up and i would ( still do) carry on without a care in the world 500 quid banger against a 40 grand merc etc and there is only ever going to be one winner (y)

Now all i have to put up with in nuneaton is speed mountains every 5 yards (cant call them bumps)

Yarp, have the skateboard humps here, but some are motorcycle friendly as there is a huge gap in the middle.

my route to town has what seems like hundreds of these pointless things and iirc only 2 are bike friendly the rest are too tall and have to sharp an angle according to the councils own spec, there has been loads of hassle about it for years and nothing has been done

Add to that on the same route there is one that you literally cant get over at anything more then 10mph on or in anything and going the other way away from town there are two that block the road enough to cause quite major floods

Why are pedestrian crossings on ramps. Too late I think, should be before crossing if necessary.
Good point made recently regarding 20mph limit - why are motorists penalised for the carelessness of pedestrians.

We occasionally see this, although these days it's more likely to be one of those very quick electric cycles.

Dark clothing, hoodie and face covering.

You'll see them in most towns and cities.

They're the local drug delivery/collection service.

They now favour the electric bikes over the trail bikes as they're quieter, more manoeuvrable, police can't chase/catch them.

I'm convinced that the new give way to pedestrians law is simply down to mobile phones. How many idiots do
You see with them stuck to their eyeballs whilst crossing the road.
