Driver in the wrong

Just more of a rant but why do drivers who are in the wrong get angry as if it’s your fault they made the wrong move? Driving along the road today then at the corner of my eye on my side of the road a girl started to pull out, no indicator to tell anyone what she’s doing. I swerved and beeped my horn to tell her I was at the side of her. She gave me the fingers and started shouting? Wtf people like that shouldn’t be on the road. I know Everyone makes mistakes but own up to it and say sorry. I know I do when I make a mistake on the road.

YANBU I wish people would learn to use indicators. I’ve been shouted and sweared at too many times because people indicated in the wrong direction or just didn’t indicate at all.
A lorry nearly ran me over once because they didn’t bother indicating and drove forward then turn in my direction at the very last second.

I was once cut up on a roundabout by a driver who clearly didn't realise you give way to the right. She was going at some speed and it was a close thing. I beeped the horn and then had to sit behind her for a while. She kept gesticulating, braking hard etc. Crazy.

In hindsight I don't think she realised she was approaching a roundabout (it's a bit of a weird one) and was a bit shocked.

God Iv had that happen to me about 5 years ago. A man was on the wrong lane at a roundabout. He cut me up and I nearly crashed into him. I let him pass me and he started braking and moving then braking and moving when he was in front. My car slightly bumped his as I thought he’s started driving but he braked once again. We got out at the first exit after the roundabout were he gave me abuse for being on the wrong lane. But i went on the same route week in and week out on my driving lessons and test. I wish I’d phoned the police now. Some crazy folk out there.
