Are people getting worse or is it just me? Walking home and some idiot speeding down the road, I was watching him and he saw me... then for some reason he does a U turn and nearly ran me over. Wanker!

I'm seeing more and more really bad drivers on the roads. People just don't seem to give a shit anymore. There's a complete lack of respect, patience and tolerance.

Does anyone actually know what an indicator is nowadays?

A lot of chavvy drivers seem to think their middle finger is the indicator.

Pedestrians are also getting much much worse down here, people of all ages seem to think that moving traffic will just stop for them on busy roads! Saw one of them yesterday casually walking across two lanes of moving traffic who then shouted at his wife to hurry up!

What a flaming twat!

In Brighton it's cyclists that have no respect for other road users, they have no respect for pedestrians either; Most of them are completly anti motorist. I even saw one throw himself and his bike to the floor in front of a car a few years back, he told the police that he had been hit by the car. A few drivers, including myself, soon put the record straight though.

I also once saw a cyclist man-handle a young mother with a pushchair, after he had jumped a red light and ridden into her on a crossing. He soon fucked off when me and a few drivers got out of our cars and the cyclist thought "oh shit!".

I'm not saying they're all like it but some are complete donkeys.

I was driving home through Durham City, down a notorious road for traffic called Gilegate Bank, there's a Y junction in the middle of it and when your coming down it, people coming up obviously have to wait to be let in to cross your side of the carriage way, though, it's an unwritten rule you do let one in, drive past the junction, then, the driver behind lets one in, then they drive etc etc

So, I pulled up and someone wanted to be over, flicked my headlights giving it the go on then, then crawl forward, and this twat came stotting in front of me, and turned onto my lIane, though, he couldnt actually go anywhere as on the junction was a pickup... Yes, he tried to pull into on coming traffic from the junction, if he waited for 2 seconds he could've nipped in behind me and been on the right side of the carriageway when he was leaving the junction.

I rose my hands up in a "What do you think you are doing?", I could see him whinging on to himself, he then backed up a little bit and came crawling past the van, snarling at me... Well that was it, I was naught to 60 in a blink, belt came off, I was out the door, I was like "Who the fuck do you think you are, got something to say you stupid bastard", he shit a brick, pulled up behind my van and was away up the junction... The way the dozy shit should've gone anyway. I looked at the pick up and there was three lads laughing there backs off...

I'm not one for road rage, we all drop bollocks, theres no perfect driver and if people say they are they are lying to themselves, we're human... If people just raised their hands to show they have dropped a clanger, I do, then, the world would be a much nicer place to drive in, unfortunately though, that 3mm piece of glass that separates them from the outside world makes them think their up there with cage fighters... And thats what I hate, especially when they snarl... Thats my fuse lit when they do that!

The chav will always lost to the skill of an experienced driver regardless of the vehicle.

There's another thing to be aware of in Brighton, and that's driving through during any tree-hugger demonstrations. Some of the twats are hell bent on saving the planet, by snatching the key from a car's ignition and then dropping them down a drain. A crusty tried that on me once during a demonstation against a local arms factory, he stuck his face right in mine whilst chanting some load of bollocks and then tried to snatch my keys but I was a bit quicker than him.

I got out of my seat with the intention of nutting him, but then a copper stopped me in my tracks... Bastard! LOL

Tip while driving near crusties and/or tree-huggers in Brighton, keep your window wound most of the way up.
