Superb stuff. Keep the great stories coming

The most curious thing..
NEVER give way to BMWs, Mercs, Audis, 4x4s - all driven by complete w@nkers.

Thanks Greens :(
I was having a chat with a mate the other day about urban driving (so slightly related), and we agreed that as there are so many cars on the road today, all drivers are concerned about is gaining that ten foot of road in front of them, that gets them where they are going a bit quicker. Sod Keep Clear, do not enter until your exit is clear boxes, Pelican Crossings etc. markings, and letting people out of side streets! It is all out warfare on the streets, and as it was in the trenches, gains are measured in feet...
The funniest example I saw of this was on a level crossing when the barriers had just gone up. Cue a mass acceleration of vehicles over lines, until one of the front runners wanted to turn right a bit further up, got blocked, meaning the snake behind them stopped, and Dave Dimwit stuck on the 'do not enter until your exit is clear' box on the crossing gets a nice sideways middle-parting on his roof when the auto- barrier comes down on his motor...
Cue misery for thousands of rail users as the situation is sorted out

Buses are run from the disabled car park 5,they will take passengers over to the stadium as well...but understand if you are at the top of the uni it might not be as easy.
Can understand your frustration OP. Used to get me a bit when you have been sitting in the queue for about fifteen minutes going three feet then someone rolls up, gets in their car and expects to just pull out, rather than wait in turn for the people who have been there a lot longer to clear. Just get the park and ride now though.
This behaviour mostly seems to manifest itself when people are in their cars for some reason, can't imagine coming out of an aisle at the supermarket and just pushing into the queue at the tills, seems totally acceptable at road works, car parks, etc. though.

So may I add my own driving tale from yesterday? Driving home on a narrow road in Bevendean, where cars park on one side, I was a passenger in a new Kia (just a few months old) when a car coming the opposite way decided not to wait a few seconds but to plough on through, scraping the side of both cars and pulling off our rear bumper.
This deserves it's own thread!!

I think you will find that they are intended for disabled people.

WRONG !
These feckers are the ones driving the company cars and won't give a flying fook if there is an exchange of paintwork ....
Unless you are also in said company car, then it comes down to who has the biggest bo11ocks.

And here we are still waiting to get the car back. What we expected to be replacing a rear bumper was complicated when the one ordered from overseas was broken and now there's some mess up on the paintwork, grrr.

What if you drive a 4x4 Merc?

Upgrades to a complete tosser. Same as 4x4 BMW's and 4x4 Audi's. We don't discriminate.

I have an Audi as do plenty of others on this board. Why does that make me a complete tosser? This morning I was cut up by a woman driving an old vauxhall astra and an old fella in Ford Fiesta yet i'm, a tosser for the car I drive. Surely its the drivers rather than the car they drive?
