    That's just crazy. I don't see it taking off in a big way.

    I wish there was a site to post people's registration numbers on to name and shame them when they are jaw droppingly rude to another driver.

    There is. It is already full of hypocritical drivers who spend their time noting everyone elses mistakes and ignoring their own faults though.

    Strangely enough, the bloke behind me sussed what was going on and reversed so I could get out from behind her - being a generally considerate driver I would have done the same in his position.:D

    I really don't mind if she'd had a bad day, that's no excuse for the gesture she did - normally holding your hands up and saying sorry goes a long way to placating someone you're annoying, because we ALL make mistake. Shrugging and looking like you don't give a toss usually winds the offended person up more. I know what I would have done if I was her, but then I do have SOME manners.;)

    Had a Woman do this to me in something like a 7 series BM ages ago. I just mused to myself about more money than sense etc...

    Mi thinks this is the site you are looking for :T
    http://ratethatdriver.co.uk/

    What's to stop folk who just don't like you, posting a load of rubbish there though?

    My OH has just mentioned that he'd like to post allsorts about someone who drives for a living, just so he gets into trouble. He wouldn't actually do that btw, it was just a jokey comment but it did make me wonder about the validity of some of the things posted?

    Wow, something so small as that event worked you up enough to complain about it to your family for a few days and eventually still be so annoyed you had to post about it on the internet???

    Some people really need to chill the f out.
