There's plenty of taxi drivers that stop for everything but hey if the meters running.

That might just be in Nottingham but seriously some of them slow down so much when a lights on green praying it goes red so the can wangle and extra 50p out of you

I thought I was the only one who had noticed that in Nottingham.

Jeeves ... my riding crop ....

Lorries that sit up my rear when driving really annoy me as well. I quite simply slow down then accelerate, if they get too close again then I will slow down again. They will simply get the message as going up and down their gearbox and slow acceleration annoys them.

I hate bus drivers who signal as they are pulling out, you've got no chance. They should at least signal for a few seconds!

You're put 20 too many words into that post.

Biglad? Big !!!! more like
Then you are a confirmed prat. They are waiting for clear space behind before pulling out into what will be a long overtaking manoever. Shakes head in disbelief, or :wall::wall::wall::wall:

So your travel slow enough that you end up with lorry up you backside while driving?

If the driver of that bus feels the need to act like a **** and hit vehicles or play stupid games because another driver did something stupid, illegal, Wong or dangerous then he should not be driving.

Unfortunately some HGV drivers don't realise the speed cameras on the dual carriage way I left near actually work.

And due to road layout it's not always possible to get out of their way by changing lanes for a mile. :mad:

And I hope a traffic officer sees this and reports you to the courts.

Plain stupid!

So long as they book the truck driver 5 inches from his rear at the same time, who thinks a 40mph limit means 50, and thinks everyone should share his view.

There is a world of difference between a 40 toner at speed and a bus at a bus stop, no? I think they call it "respect",. and it has to work both ways. What was said in the op's post? 70 crashes but none my fault?, my a**e :mad:

Exactly. A few years back, a bus in Romford decided to disregard right of way on a roundabout and rather than brake, continued on and pulled out into the side of my car... I'm sure that that driver also tried to claim a non-fault considering how long it took for them to admit liability, but it didn't work and it wasn't me that had to pay out for a smashed-in car
