to be absolutely seething!

[scanty]

ok, I've calmed down a bit now but was seething earlier when leaving to pick kids up at school, I couldn't get bloody out my drive as the traffic was horrendous with folk rushing home early for the kick off. Not one fecker would slow down (it's not usually a problem) and let me reverse out. Palmed my horn for at least 5 seconds and nearly jumped out the car to confront them screaming 'you'll be going home, going home, the stupid feckers will be going home'! AIBU?

yabu

next time reverse onto your drive

simples

boring

Yes they're not coming home until Sunday

seriously if your drive is a pita to get out of why did you move there?

Yep. Always reverse onto your drive.

YABU.

It is a shame that no one let you out. I also saw loads of people driving like idiots to get to the match on time earlier when I went to pick up dd.

But palming your horn? Possibly confronting drivers in moving vehicles? Bit OTT.

Also would it not be a good idea to reverse onto the drive rather than reverse out? I think you need to calm down given that it all happened about 7 hours ago!

X-posts re: reversing onto drive! Great minds....

Can I point you in this direction...

i would be seething too but then i get terrible road rage and probably shouldn't drive anywhere ever!

but seriously, you should reverse onto your drive

lol anyfucker

I always reverse onto the drive as our road is quite busy at peak times, besides it makes me feel organised - strangely!

I can't bear anyone pulling onto my drive, it looks messy, neatly reversed in is the only way - and much easier for getting back out.

fair enough if everyone thinks IWBU. Reversing in and driving out probably wouldn't make that much difference though as they would still have to stop for all of 5 secs to let me out. Plus have to park at a strange angle to get both cars in drive. They're still a bunch of feckers though I still stopped and let at least 3 folk out in front even in my RAGE!

Isn't it illegal to reverse onto a main road?

what constitutes a main road? It's in a housing estate but the main route in. Most folk in the street reverse out.

Not a main road then.

This ridiculous fuss being made over football is totally and utterly sad.

YANBU, reverse into the drive in future and barge your way out if need be.

TIP: Wait for a really NEW car, 10 plate, expensive etc etc and pull out in front of them, they'll be so worried about the car, they'll soon stop....
