Worst of all are those ungrateful drivers who do not acknowledge my generosity when I let them thru from a minor roads. Sorry to sounds a bit sexest, I never get a thankyou from a female driver!

Being Mr Nice on the road, I hate people not returning a favour by letting me through!


excellent thread.  i agree with all points.  this one is particularly an irritant - get it every morning/eve on way home on a particular road where i live - i let people through and every day there is one (unt who doesn't say thanks.  also the (unt that decided to ignore the fact i was already halfway down the road this morning and didn't wait - cheers.  enjoy my middle finger and the word (unt mouthed right at him as he had to stop.  :laugh:

Ahhh, I play a game with the said tailgaiter when they want by!

I let them by, then accelerate up behind and calmly wait - safe distance, but close enough - until they get the fcuk out of MY way...  :laugh:

To me, all Corsas seem like they're driven by women, men who don't care about cars, or little spiky-haired c*nts who think 1.2 cars are fast.

EDIT: I'm going to join a Corsa forum and use that last sentence as my signature.  :evil:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Flat cap brigade.

Octogenarians who don’t know that indicators are now fitted to cars, always seem to wear tweed jackets or blazers and the obligatory flat cap. Tend to stay well back from them.

The right of way one really bugs me, all i want is a flash of head light, or a few fingers raised off the steering wheel, or even a nod of the head, but no, i get idiots that believe everywhere is there right of way....

the snow yes 4x4 gives u better traction when accelerating, but you brakes are still the same, if i brake suddenly, your just gna slide into the back of me. and i had a polo in the snow, that wud of hurt.

people not content with me already doin 70 in a 60 (cos i got fed up of needing a run up to over take the plebs doin 50) so they sit on my arse like im doin 50

or alternatively, do what i do - foot off the accelerator so slow down slowly but surely down to 40-50 odd, slap it in 3rd and watch the (unts disappear into the background as they fail miserabley to keep up.  don't forget to give them a wave too as you pull away.  repeat as many times as you feel like it until they give up after being fed up of being mugged off  :smiley:
