You caused the issue with the tanker.

But the car is using the correct lane, otherwise he'd hit the car on the right.
It could certainly be marked clearer though, there's an island like this near me and your forever getting people taking the LH lane when they should be taking the middle or RH lane, for anything other than first left.

What you have to remember is that some drivers (especially in HGV's), will be new to the area and may even come from an area where the road planners are not complete f**king morons.

photome

who was it that was always posting videos of their bad driving ?;)

Maybe so but he was behind the tanker which was not indicating. A bit of restraint (which you don't have) would have avoided that.

Well tbh, the way I see it, some people just don't like when others post these video's and in my experience they'll even see stuff that wasn't in the actual video if it gives them an opportunity to have dig. Every video ever posted on Youtube will attract trolls, when you post a video you have to do so with an IDGAF attitude and take the rough with the smooth.

Take your own advice then.

Then you committed an offence, and I suggest you read up on your highway code. Horn is a warning device, NOT to be used as a rebuke.

I'd agree with that, the horn is for warning others of your presence and that's exactly what you did, unfortunately many people think it's more like an "oi, you f**cking idiot!!!!!".

The horn on my car is rubbish, so I decided to swap it out for a twin airhorn. Then I fitted the new horn and decided I couldn't be bothered to remove the bumper to get at the old one, so now I have both for "warning people of my presence" and I know they hear it now because they jump out of their seats :rotfl:

The first unfortunate victim was a doddering old dear reversing down a carpark toward me, whilst not actually looking behind her.

It's something like old horn = 98db, new horn = 130db, total around 131-132db.

When were you sworn in to police the roads?

I'd read up on what a horn is for, before you sit your test.

You're another one who don't know what a horn is for.
