Default Re: Biggest *****

People who wait until you're almost on top of them before moving into your lane (ie to very slowly overtake the car they were previously tailgating). God it really f***s me off. LOOK in your mirrors. Signal then maneuvre IF IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.

I gave one idiot a blast of my Nautilus for doing that last week, flashed at them to pass because they stayed in lane 3 even once it was clear to the left and they looked at me as if I was out of order! I just rode on with the usual condescending shake of the head... Grrr!

The other thing is complete ****holes who drive straight across both lanes of a roundabout- that happened on the home commute from the above story. Hit the horn and again they looked at me as if I was in the wrong.

DRIVE AROUND THE ROUNDABOUT LOVE! THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO!

OOooh- that feels so much better!

I always move over to the left on the road if i see a bike behind me to give it more room to overtake etc, or the right if i`m in the right lane in slow traffic on a motorway, never had a wee nod though

And i`m a nasty, gas guzzling, environment raping 4x4 driver too, tsk. lol.

Absof*ckinglutely. This happens most days on my commute. Have given up expecting cars to stick to their lane round any roundabout, and always try to be either ahead or behind so as not to get clattered.

Miss_Undastood - must be slightly rude bikers round your way. Although sometimes if things are happening quick or traffic really tight, a wave or nod just ain't safe to try and do.

Yeah I just assumed it was because of safety, or maybe they thought I wasn`t moving for them.
