There is a difference between allowing a vehicle out of a side street when the traffic is not moving all that fast and is congested. A different story when slowing from reasonable speed just to let a vehicle out. It's dangerous.

I HATE HATE HATE the stupid cnuts that come to a roundabout in the left lane and then instead of driving around it ,they just attack it in a straight line, cutting up the poor person in the inside lane.I love to hang just behind them on the inside and then whoop them with my airhorns.Talk about kak themselves.
Its **** like these that take out motorbikes just as were cranked over.

I don't mind slow drivers in the middle lane, as you just overtake them in the outside lane. Slow drivers in the outside lane however..........................

Never! I know that it's not my right to be let out when I should be giving way. The rules are there to keep the roads moving. But then again I am a bit extreme.

That's a big hate of mine too at the moment. When I stay in the left lane to go straight ahead (in the car these days), I nearly alway have some twit shoot right up behind me because they have straightlined the round-a-bout. Oh, and the drivers who pull out on your left just as you pass to take the next exit and try and squeeze past on you left grrrrr.

I've got to the stage now that if I find some idiot sitting in the middle lane they get the full works of Lights, Horn, "Get The F*&% Out Of The Way" routine until they finall wake up and shift. It's inexcusable to just sit there, overtaking nothing and deserves my full wrath at every opportunity!

Best bit of roads policing I have seen for a while was on M60, Was 'stuck' behind a middle lane hog as there was a copper behind me and the road was about to go down to 2 lanes from three. The copper nips past in his Rangey and illuminated his little matrix sign that said

"<-------- Use Correct Lane Discipline"

Said lane hog had a minor panic and moved over with alacrity! Shows the git knew he was in the wrong.

Me and copper had a little grin at each other as I went past.

Had a few of these knobbers on my ride home yesterday. had one old lady in her pink micra doing 58 in the outside lane, merrily driving along. The amount of lane hogging is mad, I don't like it but I get a little bit impatient and end up under taking them if its safe. If its not too busy they get stared at as I go past then swing back infront of them.

Another thing I hate is 80mph traffic jams, but I actually enjoyed one of them yesterday, getting to crank the bike fairly well over at high speed on dual carriageways
