Driving DS home from school, busy town centre pouring with rain.

Aggressive driver beeped his horn and then stuck his finger up. I was waiting at a red light!

Not really sure who you’d report too but seriously some people are just awful

Who would you report it to????
Did you actually get their registration number?

There are utter wankers out there. They are increasing in numbers. They walk amongst us. Its infuriating but sadly we dont have Good Respectful Manners Police. We have to retaliate with kindness.

Who to and what for? Was he in a liveried van and you can tell his employer? If not, you’ll just have suck it up that some people are arseholes and a lot of said arseholes are men in cars.

No. People are knobs but we seem to have become accustomed to thinking everyone needs to be reported for any perceived misdemeanour.

No. The police are already struggling to deal with serious crime. I wouldn't waste anyone's time reporting this.

Oh dear, maybe driving isn't for you if you're this sensitive.....

FreshInks · 06/02/2026 17:13

I don’t think being a knob is a crime

I had this happen to me the other morning op. Elderly man beeped and stuck his finger up. I was just sat in traffic, not blocking anything 🤷. Some people are just weird.

No. Don't waste police time over nothing.

Sorry it was slightly tongue in cheek I’m not really reporting him.
being a twat isn’t really a crime but just makes me cross that some people are such arse holes
