To think this guy was a twat?

[puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE]

I was driving today, stopped in traffic on a round about and accidentally stalled. I re started the car straight away and carried on.

The guy behind me peeped me, then over took me whilst throwing a cigarette butt at my windscreen!

AIBU to think he's a fucking dick?

I stalled in my car the other day. It is playing up and the revs keep dropping, they dropped too much and I stalled it at the traffic lights.

Didnt realise it made me a fucking dick though DarlingGrace

Even my driving instructor stalled once on a lesson (in the beginning when he had to drive me somewhere quiet to start off)
He was a dick and so is darlinggrace

The man overtaking you not my instructor btw

Buy a dash cam, very cheap, and very theraputic when you had footage into the police.

We have them on all company vehicles, it has saved many a situation.

I've been driving for ten years and stalled pulling out of my own drive the other day, good to know that makes me a dick...

He was being a twat OP. There are unfortunately plenty of them on the roads!

Yup he was an asshat.

Some man nearly went into the back of me this morning and then had the bloody nerve to flick v-signs in my rear-view mirror all the way down the road. I find it soothing to wish some karma down on the tossers - for the wanker this morning, I requested that the universe arrange for him to stand on some Lego in bare feet or stub a toe. Shame he won't grasp the correlation between a sore foot and being a jerk behind the wheel but still....makes me feel better!

Intrigued as to how someone overtaking, therefore on the right hand side of your car, can throw a cigarette butt at your windscreen........?

a learner driver in a driving school car pulled out in front of me and swerved a bit on the A12 yesterday.
the instructor corrected them, then they pootled along at 25mph .

i didn't throw my fag butt at them -i don't smoke- but i did overtake and mutter ' you are so fecking lucky you dived in front of me, anyone else would've killed you'

they obviously didn't hear me

He was undertaking if that makes any sense. The round about leads on to a dual carriage way, so he sped up to go past and threw the offending object at my windscreen on his way past.

My attitude towards learners is to remind myself that we were all in that position once and to be patient with them. Anyone at all can stall a car occasionally, even Darling Grace (who is obviously a prize dickhead).

This guy was a twat. I don't understand people like him. Surely life is too short to get so het up about things.

Something in the air today. I had a lovely man gesturing behind me in slow moving traffic today as we pulled up to the lights. I didn't pull right up to the car in front as he was suggesting as it had a massive fuck off trailer behind it...... Which he nearly drove into as he tried to undertake me as we pulled away.
I may have laughed.

Total dick.

I had someone pull a V at me when I'd recently passed, because I was carefully doing precisely 30. I can still remember his ugly face.

I also saw some utter twat a few weeks ago lean on the horn when the learner in front of him missed a tiny gap, and she took the next one and stalled halfway onto the roundabout in rushhour. Poor lass.

(Oh, and the only reason I don't have bad memories of people being rude when I stalled must be because I've blanked them out or because people round my way were exceptionally nice, because no one in the history of the world has stalled as much as me when I was learning! )

In that case he was definitely a twat OP.

My car has start/ stop so it cuts out when you are stationary and people at traffic lights think I've stalled and look at me in despair- that's really irritating too!

Where I live we get a lot of oversized heavy loads travelling on the double lane highway through town (dual carriage way without the central reservation and only 60kph limit).

I was stuck behind a very slow moving load yesterday that took up both lanes (equipment for the mines) and saw a QLD driver come up on my left, probably doing a bit over the speed limit, in a left turn lane only and dive in front of the truck just as it approached a set of traffic lights.

What the driver hadn't realised was that the escort vehicle was a police car!!

I thought for a minute we'd be stuck waiting while the guy got a ticket but the copper must have radioed ahead as we passed him sat at the side of the road about 10kms further along the highway getting a lecture from a police motorcyclist

The best bit was he ended up about 20 cars behind me when he eventually pulled back into traffic so had not only got a ticket with the inevitable demerit points and fine but he'd dropped back in the queue!!

See everybody stalls! This man clearly must have been the best driver to ever grace this earth. He had obviously never stalled or done anything that could be remotely considered to be bad driving

still a twat though

I remember after just passing my test stalling about 8 times at a set of traffic lights. DD was mortified in passenger seat, me almost crying in the end and about to ring my mate to come and take over when I just put the hazards on got out and started shouting at the car a la John Cleese pretending it had broken down until the traffic had died down. Someone even stopped and asked if I wanted them to look at the car for me

What a wanker
