to make a little sign for this woman?

Someone I know didn't even wait with her car -after waiting for someone else to reverse to the passing bay a foot or two behind him, she got out, locked the car and walked off - when she poked her head back round the corner he'd gone so he clearly could reverse when he wanted to....

Just do it. Refuse to reverse and sit there staring at her.

With regard to blind bends, toot as you approach them.

I live in a city, but on a side street that people use as a cut through. This happens to me all the time. I reverse if it's easier for me to, if I'm running late or if the person coming towards me looks friendly, nervous or harassed, but I've been known to sit it out for over ten mins when a total cunt of a driver started shouting and gesturing at me. My response: it's my street mate, I don't have an alternative, you could sit it out on the main road if you'd prefer. Or reverse and let me out.

You are very restrained to ahve not done anything about her so far! That would infuriate me!

Can you do a very simple sign that just says 'YOUR turn to reverse' and hold it up with a big smile next time you come across her and then sit it out.

I'd LOVE to see her face

Make the sign and do it :D and tea and biscuits - haha but you HAVE to report back or else YABU!!!

at horse comments. dont' drivers realise that driving close to a horse or revving the engine or shouting is likely (with some horses) to result in a trampled car?

I'd say no sign but do stop and wait it out. Try to be very calm and polite. If you get into a conversation perhaps mention that you see her every day and believe it is best if you take turns in reversing. If you're feeling mean, ask her if she is surgeon on her way to attend emergency surgery, or a if there is another similar reason why her time is more important than yours.

Love the comment about commiserating about driver's lack of reversing skills! :)

I don't think you can blame people for using a quicker more direct route, but you can blame people for not having a bit of common courtesy or for driving unsafely in a residential area.

Just park there and go for a walk.

I once did that. Somebody refused to move an inch for me so I could pass them and pick up my child. (they could not go forward with their van, as the road narrowed.) They were grinning and having a fab time making a point that they enjoyed being in my way. So I left my car RIGHT there in the road. So they could not get out. Then I walked slowly past them, said cheerily "just picking up my child from school, will be about 10 minutes" They were gobsmacked.

I was 10-15 minutes (cars behind me had somewhere to go). They were furious.
I just said "well, let it be a lesson to you, next time you move your van so it is possible to pass"

I was cheered by the crowd that had gathered.

Borrow extremely battered car, stop dead in middle of road in front of her silently waiting in manner of truck driver in 'Dune'.

Don't do the sign. Just stop and wait for her to reverse (pick a day where being late wont be too much of a problem) - I'll even send you some home made biscuts to enjoy

Now I realise why so many horse riders and people coming the other way look so grateful when I get out the way, mostly I am not in a hurry so am happy to pull over or go very slowly.

I would wait mean woman out OP. I bet she is actually a crap driver and scared of reversing and is aggressive to get her own way. In which case she shouldn't drive down those roads.

DarkSkies Don't worry, no one would get between and my my mare

'industrial shed full of cunts'

Sounds like my local Lidl!

I am speechless at that! How dare someone act like that to an animal? Horrific behaviour.

Definitely make the sign and follow it through!!

Just round the corner from me is a stretch of road where all the hospital staff park so only one car at a time can fit through. Its a long stretch but on a big dip so you can see clearly from both directions. My neighbour's ds (mid 20s) was driving through when a bus came from the opposite direction and started to drive through aswell, obviously expecting my friend's son to stop and reverse for him but as he'd already been driving through he felt it was his right of way so refused to reverse. They sat there stubbornly for a few minutes waiting before my friend's son thought 'sod this', got out and walked round the corner to his mum's house instead, leaving his van in the middle of the road

I did think it was a bit of an extreme reaction and not particularly fair on the bus passengers but the bus drivers round here are arseholes and I really would have loved to see the driver's face!! In your case though if you feel the need to get out and go home for a cup of tea I think it would be entirely justified!

Oh. I remember your original thread.

So many numpties driving through your village.

Buy several newspapers and sit and read until she backs up.

'industrial shed full of cunts'

I have tried sitting it out on several occasions but it just got nasty. (Once I was on horseback ffs and had turned round about 3 times to let cars through - the 4th time I did turn round but was muttering away to myself and the driver stopped and remonstrated with me for having the audacity to be chuntering to myself - despite the fact that I was getting out of his way . He threatened to break my horse's legs. ).

Anyway, now when I reverse for some twat one I wind the window down when they are level with me and commiserate with them on their inability to reverse. That makes them quite cross.

Our village was being used as a rat run and after people drove through at 90mph we had to closed off.

Agree about taking a newspaper. My dh says do not back up , wait her out. Don't know if I could be that brave though.

Oh I SO feel your pain! There is a back road from where we used to live to the town. At the end of it there are several large industrial sheds full of cunts people who drive badly and EVERY time they finish work trying to battle through them on single track is a nightmare. I drive at 30 mph and they generally do ALOT more than that. It's always me who has to pull over. All the time. I have a large 4 x 4 yet I'll have to break every 100 yards to let cunts these men past.

I still remember the elation I felt the day I saw Subaru cunt man standing next to his mangled twatmobile looking rather sad because he'd run off the road into a field. I slowed down, beeped my horn, waved and drove off.

OP, go for it, and oh, please please come back and report!!!!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!

god she sounds like a total IDIOT. Next time you get head to head, wave excitedly, mouthing "HI!! How ARE you?!" and then offer her a Murray Mint or something.

Whatever you do, please report back!

pretend you have broken down, get out and potter under the bonnet for 10 mins, then say to her 'if you back up i will trying and puch it to the passing place'

when she backs up, jump in a drive on, wave and smile as you pass

You are going to try shagging while waiting for her to back up?

Please do post her reaction on youtube
