to shake my head sadly at people who are shit at driving?

[TaggieMandevilleBlack]

For example.......

Me going up a hill. Cars parked the other side of the road.

Blatently obvious it is my right of wsy.

Silly cow in a car the size of a combine barreling down towards me.

I sat and shook my head.

She got angry and waved her arms around.

Oh how I enjoyed it.

YANBU. That was very polite and restrained of you.

It's the "my car's bigger than your car" thing. The Highway Code doesn't actually specify that this gives you right of way, although plenty of people seem to think it does. It also apparently allows you to park on the zig-zags outside schools.

Feckers.

Argh, YANBU! I do this everyday. I shake my head at these type of people too. Once I did it to a man outside DD's nursery and he took the piss out of me and shook his head back. That pissed me off a lot.

The worse are the people parked on yellow lines on a busy road, causing a back log of traffic. Yesterday I went slowly passed a car parked and gave the woman driving death stares and shook my head. That felt soooo good.

YABVU. You should forego the princess Di eyes and go for the full array of rude hand gestures.

Was she already passing the cars though

I don't get the point here. What's to enjoy? She got her way, why would she care?

I like to do a jaunty little wave when someone has fucked with my driving juju. You know, a tinkle of the fingers with a winning smile, where the bird and a scowl would usually be.

Not windy (or windey?). And I was there first. Daft cow.

YANBU

I know it's terrible and people can't help it, but bad drivers make me stabby.

bad drivers make me stabby

I get weird driving taurettes. Expletives and insults cascade from my mouth that I had no idea were even in my vocabulary

Hmmm..... thing is that bad driving is in the eye of the beholder. 'I drive sensibly for the conditions, you driving is erratic, he is a bad driver'. And I have made enough mistakes in my time to have very little hubris when someone else fucks up.

I am an excellent driver.

My children's entire lexicon of swearwords and strange hybrid rude words was entirely picked up while being driven around by mummy.

I can't even drive yet, well I'm learning, but I get disgusting road rage when out with dp, especially the arseholes in there brand new 3ltr whatevers who insist the speed limit is NOT fast enough and get up our arse, we have to drive a particulaly bad road most days and it makes us both stabby! Or the ones who cannot move into the middle of a road to turn off but instead block the road at peak times, hundreds of people slip into the middle allowing traffic to continue flowing, why can't you!!! Argh stabby!

LOL at rainman!

I either do the Shrug, showing what choice do I have but to sit here, or the Cheerful Wave, to irritate the shit out of them.

Don't get me started on the drivers who can't use their indicators at roundabouts. Of course you indicate right when turning left off a roundabout dear (sigh)

I had to stop. Then shuffle onto the pavement. Her combine was so fucking massive she couldn't manouver it.

I drove with a friend recently, who reversed without looking (making cars stop), driving forward without looking (nearly collecting a pedestrian that had jumped away from her reversing), then later failed to give way at a give way sign.

Each time I'm saying watch out, stop etc. "what is it with drivers today?" She whinges, and I did massively bite my tongue as she'd had a recent MC and was in bad way.... but sheeesh, not driving with her again!

Slow drivers piss me off too. It's a 30mph road, why in the name of fuck are you driving at 20mph?! WHY?! I get so tempted to tailgate these people, but then that would make me a shit head tailgater, and that is the worse kind of driver.
