is anyone else noticing loads of this at the moment?

Kind of thing I mean is B-road turning out onto a quick A-road or similar. Row of 10 cars driving on the A-road and you're trying to turn out of the B-road. Car number 10 decides to pull up and flash you out even though they're carrying on

Thank you but it'd be faster for all of us if you didn't you spanner. At the speed you're doing you'd be past in seconds. If you decide to let me out I have to notice you flashing lights/slowing to give me room to get out.

Nice and generous style of driving but just goes to prove you've no idea what else is going on on the road around you. If you did you'd zip past knowing I could get out immediately anyway!

too many assumptions in your post to support the implication that they have 'no idea'

maybe the driver is going to pull in 100yds past the junction?

maybe they are looking for an unfamiliar house and know they will be creeping along trying to spot numbers any time soon?

I think it's best to concentrate on driving your car, rather than second guess why someone else has done something

Not the roads I'm thinking of.
Up late last night and then early this morning and I'm grumpy!
All other drivers are feck wits!

I will often let someone out/across my path if close ahead there are lights on red/about to turn red and the car I am giving way to is holding up more cars than I feel I would be holding up (read none).

Nothing wrong with grumpy

And I agree

My driving grump today is, people saying thanks in the dark by flashing their main beam.

Thanks for blinding me

Miserable buggers.

i had a similar thought the other day...
line of cars, the last one decides to flash you out when theres 500yards behind them where you can do it in your own time!

i guess its the thought that counts....

Have you ever given a little blast on the horn because youthink driver in outside lane might be drifting in a bit too close?Polit toot and all that.THEN all hell breaks loose.Other driver blasts his horn several times then gets behind you blasting horn again and you can see him in rear view mirror waving his arms and shouting like a maniac.

It's often the first driver in the Q enjoying holding everybody up by pottering and delighted at the opportunity to make things worse for those behind by slowing down even more to allow you in and add to the Q.

Much of the frustration encountered on the roads is caused by those who enjoy being a bastard and intentionally driving in such a manner so as to piss off everybody around them. Rise to the bait and piss THEM off then they go bonkers.
I remain convinced that the victims of many accidents and incidents are as a result of their actions antagonising others - thus the 'Oh! woe is me victim' is usually the perpertrator.
