Road rage and red mist

HMP Altcourse.

I have Roundabout issues… Indicate you [zb [zb] :smiling_imp:

Oh and using the inside lane to take the third exit :angry: you complete [zb]

HMP Altcourse.

Sounds about right :laughing: :laughing:
Down there often to our Liverpool depot Brookfield Drive only in HMP kirkby myself :laughing: :laughing:

Why is it that those in the wrong always make the most noise and rude signs etc :question:

If they aint indicating to turn right at a roundabout you may legally proceed.

Cos they know absolutely that they are in the wrong. duh? catch up, what year you living in bro? People don’t do “sorry mate” these days.

Always seems to happen when coming up to roadworks with lane closures. (M5 NB…the usual!)
800 yds, lanes 2+3 closing, some tattoed knob jockey on his phone, cap on backwards, blond bit of overweight meat in the passenger seat, you know the type, slowly pulls alongside me.
600 yards…piece of meat looks up and gives me the empty stare…
400 yards…bearing in mind I’m still doodling along at 55…knob jockey still yapping away…meat still regarding me with disdain…(i hope, and not hunger!)
200 yards…still yapping…meat glances ahead and and suddenly remembers the physics lesson from school about speed, momentum, cause and effect etc, shouts at knob jockey who suddenly
engages a few more brain cells and see’s the impending predicament soon to arise from his idiocy!
Cue the half dozen cones trying to achieve orbit and the familiar squeal of tortured tyres on an equally tortured pimped out Saxo!
Couple of mile further up, road works end only for a pimped out Saxo, complete with go faster orange streaks on the bonnet, decides to vent his anger at me.
The usual hand signals, horn blaring, and offers to stop for a coffee and a chat.
Just amazes me that everyday these things happen and there aren’t more stories of an all out hand to hand bloodshed on the roads and lay-bys!
As for retaliating…would probably end with me behind bars being the bad man with a big bad truck!!

lol spot on

… so how DO you react to that?

Ched:

… so how DO you react to that?

I try not to, however, i do find that a smile and a wave whilst tipping my cap to them whilst mouthing “You’re welcome governor!” does tend to exasperate the situation! :smiley:

I prefer to blowing them a kiss. They hate that!

Yes I know I shouldn’t react in anyway, blah, blah, blah.

Sometimes I get so angry I don’t do an indicator flick to say thank you when someone flashes me in. That’s how cross I get. That’s just how I roll.

Indicators seem to be an optional extra on a lot of cars and vans usually the more up market ones
and the hero that does a last gasp overtaking manouver then dives off at the next exit cutting across 44 tonnes of rolling death
also the ever popular move over drive ive got right of way joining from this slip road instead of dropping back or pulling away in front

while were at it whats your least favorite times of the week to work mine are monday am and friday pm rush hours ie john Q public on the way to work hungover from weekend then dashing home on fridays with a devil may care attitude to do it all over again

Describe the moment you saw red mist, sheer anger.What changes did you notice mentally and physically after been cut up ?
I had one, a van pulls out in front of me, forcing me to brake.
He gives me the finger, so he got some Toby
treats.
To put it another way, he had to change his underpants, my guess was no licence,Mot or insurance due to speeding off to get away.

Then you woke up. :unamused:

F-reds:

:laughing: spot on, years ago I had a lad pulled along side me in a van at the lights ranting about something to me, I just calmly asked him about the price of Haddock these days, the lights changed I drove off he was still there scratching his head :laughing:

eagerbeaver:
daytime tv and wining children??

Jesus,you can win children on daytime tv now. They’ve gone too far this time :laughing:

A SPEEDBOAT. Where were they from? Tamworth. 150 miles to the nearest water! :laughing:

Lets have a look what you COULD have won… Always a speedboat.

When you did win,it was some bloody wine and a day on a canal boat.

Or a Brown Metro :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

Haha-brown metro. I learnt to drive in a red one,what a 4 speed pile of [zb].
