Had to park on the road because the school car park was utter mayhem.

Unfortunately the toddler seat was on the side of the traffic. I had to open the car door wide to get him in his seat.

An out-of-service open-top tour bus beeped me, I probably held her up for all of 2 seconds. She wasn't getting anywhere any time soon anyway because of the horrendous traffic.

What an arsehole.

Sounds a bit dangerous, are you sure she wasn't just warning you?

You're right. Drivers should have the patience to navigate the hazards in the road. It's NOT a race track (unless of course you're on zig zags, yellow hatching, keep clear, yellow lines, red lines, level crossing, with 10m of a junction, opposite a junction or narrowing the carriageway so muchbas to prevent access for emergency services).

No, she was fuming. Wasn't exactly ideal but I wouldn't say dangerous, traffic was crawling along. And needs must.

Nope was in a parking bay, on the road

agreed! Drivers in the UK get uptight and aggressive for a few seconds delay.

How did everyone get so angry? Genuinely shocked after being away for some years and driving on UK roads recently.

Is there some kind of problem? Can nobody give their fellow drivers a bit of leeway and good cheer.

I'm assuming everyone has really important jobs to get to, like brain surgeon, that means they have absolutely no time for anything or anyone
