A driving one - with diagram!

Hopefully the diagram helps!

I was driving through town. Cars parked on both sides of road. Ambulance stopped on my side, facing me. Car coming other way (who ended up pulling into space, but didn't have indicators etc on.

I stopped to wait on cars coming other way - no room to get past ambulance. While I was waiting a wee white car (ww car) came up past me, gave me an absolutely filthy look, and overtook ambulance. Taxi coming other way had also sat back to let parking car finish their maneuver.

Ww car the pulled into space further along the road, and gave me the finger as I drove past!

Wibu, or was he a prick?

I actually know (sort of) driver or ww car - ex neighbour of MIL. I almost stopped to ask him what the hell he thought he was doing.

WW Car is an entitled prick of the highest order! People like that have no patience for other road users, driving in that manner will eventually come to a sticky end.

Did you have your indicators on?
It's sounds like he thought you had double parked, blocking the road

Rather than thinking ‘oh bloody big ambulance there with people stopping until it is safe to pass’?

No I didn't have indicators on, thought that would have made taxi think I was going to drive on. Maybe you're right though. But he should have seen road was choc a block and there was another car coming? So still a prick in my book!

I always put my indicator on as idiots think you are parked and whizz past!

Clearly not parked in the middle of the fucking road.
