I know it’s been done to death but I’m so frustrated with the aggression of other drivers! I had a serious accident a couple of weeks ago - a car crashed into mine because the driver was distracted and drove off without exchanging details. I don’t know whether it’s made me hyper aware of others driving.
So many incidents today alone. The first was a BMW driver who was trapped behind my vehicle as the road split into two lanes. It wasn’t yet wide enough for two cars and unfortunately I was at the back of a long queue to turn right. To get around me and drive straight ahead in the clear lane, the BMW driver aggressively mounted the pavement on the left, almost hitting my car and then stuck the V’s up at me as he passed!
The second was a speed restricted to 62MPH van trundling along in the overtaking lane. I was near my junction and didn’t have time to overtake him so sat to the rear of him to avoid undertaking. This won me a lovely “wanker” hand gesture and beeping!
Three separate incidents of people not just narrowly scraping through the amber/red lights but completely ignoring them and going through on red regardless. The first was a woman completely ignoring the red light and turning left (luckily a T-junction with nothing coming the other way and no pedestrians). The second was cars cutting through the bus lane to jump the red light because the normal lane had traffic. The last was a car about four cars back from me that went through a red light to get on the motorway. The car in front of me stopped in plenty of time, as did I and the next few cars. The fourth car back decided the red light wasn’t for him and just carried on going (the lane splits as you get to the lights, he just pulled out and went for it)
Is it just me or are some drivers becoming arseholes!
