They've probably just been passed by an angry biker

I wondered what all those police were scraping up

Last time I unfolded one it completely back fired I was trying to do the hard 'stig' unimpressed biker thing as I pulled up next to them at the lights I stared at the tinted glass for a bit expecting some boy racer tw4tstick to be looking back then unfolded the mirror and kept looking. The window wound down and this beaming woman said "aw thanks love" and left me at the lights.

If there on the phone you could always pull in your clutch and redline when your next to them or stick your fingers out so the wing mirror springs back that tends to make a fair noise and doesn't do any damage. The one thing that gets me angry is people looking in their mirrors and then moving as close to the whiteline as they can get that'll get me on the horn and shouting making hand gestures etc. I've been tempted to stick my boot out and scrape the toe sliders down the side of some peoples cars but i cba with the knock on the door by the plod when i get back in.

That does my head in too I've had someone move his stupid truck thing as physically far over as possible...and then he obviously decided it wasn't far enough (I was contemplating it) as he sprung his petrol flap open!
I heard him shouting at me as I filtered past him at the next opportunity...gave him a wave.

best set of lights rain white van man 2 lanes merges to one, they fly past you slam the brakes on get stuck in traffic but move into the middle of the road where its one lane so you cant filter past and continue. just sit there making loads of noise they soon decide to move. im amazed this thread is into page 9.

Lmao... Was she hot?

Bah! Wouldn't worry about it. We cannot rely on others doing the right thing to ensure our safety - the only person responsible for that is us. The idiots are fairly easy to spot, so just stay out of their way. I have to admit that there are days where there are idiots everywhere I look.

Dogcamsports have some interesting cameras with proprietary video formats for those who would use their car as a weapon.

Certainly doable, I was completely taken a back though!
(and a bit ****ed off she didn't seem embarrassed from a road safety aspect )

pfft forget road safey, that's all that matters.

I CBT'ed on a nice sunny day, and there was a fitty jogging past, in hot joggin gear. I eased of the throttle and had a good look, my instructor behind me commended me on the 'good call'!
