I love the drivers who drive the wrong way round car parks and give you filthy looks for not getting out of their way.

I was driving down a straight narrow road with a solid line of parked cars to my right. A car entered from the far end despite seeing me heading his way. Nowhere for me to pull over, nowhere for him to pull over, so we ended up nose to nose. I just folded my arms and waited for him to reverse to let me pass.

5 minutes of his horn honking was followed by him leaving his vehicle and banging on my car's bonnet. Little did he know that the car that had pulled up behind me contained a policeman.....

I had some idiot coming up behind, undertaking and the like. I got to a line of traffic and proceeded to overtake at the speed limit with him behind for quite some time. When clear I pulled over and he pulled along side and before speeding off made a rude comment on me holding him up.

That's what really gets me about road rage. Often, the offender gets annoyed for being held up, and they then spend considerable time pointing that out to you. So apparently they weren't in such a rush after all...

Yes, apparently the concept of "there are parked cars obstructing my side of the road so I'll give way" seems to have dropped out of fashion.

Seconded

that does wind me up a bit, as people seem to "forget" the highway code as soon as their driving test is done!

If nobody is around I usually get my shotgun out the boot and shoot them.

otherwise I get out and ask what the problem was, because now there's another problem

I was pulling out of a car park few weeks ago and as someone was turning in to the car park this gave me the chance to pull out but the white van man decided to overtake the car turning in to the car park, lets say he nearly hit me and a few choice words came from both of our mouths, he mouthed off at me and he was in the wrong, I hate white van men, think they own the road.
