Giving way to oncoming traffic

Is it really such a disaster to let a selfish driver go first and get out of your way all the quicker to bother someone else? Or is confrontation to be welcomed at all times?

I see it as winding them up so much in the hope that their idiot genes never reproduce. Think of it as a service to society.

I'm with the second option.

I annoy enough people as it is, being a learner. Not by being completely incompetent, but some do tend to get a bit stressy as I'm driving at 40 in a 40 zone. Then I'm even more likely to allow the stroppy one in front to go first. I figure they deserve each other.

This may change when I pass my test.

I had something similar on a long narrow bridge. I was nearly half way across it and another car drove onto the bridge from the other direction, ignoring the 'Give way to vehicles already on the bridge' sign.

The driver of the other car expected me to reverse back to get out of the way. I just put the handbrake on, turned off the engine and got out my newspaper. You should have heard the language... from a woman too!

Nice one! I have switched my engine/lights/wipers off on more than one occasion.. never had a newspaper to hand, though, but might just keep one in the car just in case lol

But an elbow on the door with hand resting on the cheek does the trick..

Its great to see the faces of people in the other car :rotfl:

The problem is that it's not just one selfish driver. You get 100 yds of parked cars and on coming traffic every 50yds, before one's got back on the correct side of the road the next ones coming through.:mad::mad::mad:
