Spitting fire at other motorists

Ok. Add this to the list of 235,986,097 things that gets right on my tits:

Dithery fucking people at roundabouts.

I don't mean the largely harmless "not sure of that 40 foot gap is really big enough for my (poxy fucking Japanese tiny) car" sort. They are easily dispatched with a firm application of the horn about 12 femto-seconds (look it up) after they fail to pull out when I feel they have already missed two (alright, one) gap they could have safely pulled out in. I see it as a helpful learning curve, rather than road rage. They see a gap, and as they are obviously incapable of judging their cars acceleration and size themselves, they will instead start to associate big enough gaps in the traffic flow with jumping out their skin at the sound of a loud and languishing blast of a horn. And if they are aware of their surroundings enough to realise that the sound came from behind them (most won't be, the useless fuckers) then they will get some precisely mouthed colloquialisms and hand signals to waft them on their way.

See? I've helped them. Very selfless of me.

No, the ones that make me fume and spit bile on the inside of my windscreen, which they then fail to clean up for me, are even worse. These are the incompetent and illogical tossers that approach roundabouts in the left hand lane (of two or more) and refuse to pull out when they have a truck or suitably large vehicle alongside them even when said vehicle is already pulling out!!!1111one.

I mean, for fucks sake! What do they think is going to happen to them? I appreciate that if they can't see, they shouldn't go. That's not exactly rocket salad, is it? But get this, you stupid FUCKS! When the Van/Lorry goes... SO CAN YOU, YOU TWAT! It DOESN'T MATTER that you can't see! NOTHING will get through the Lorry to hit you! It is nigh on impossible, so you effectively have a force field to your right. You don't need to fucking wait until they have gone to look for yourself.

Just imagine how much force would be required to move a 38 Tonne lorry sideways at all, never mind far and hard enough to hit your bloody car.

Just pull out, you spineless fucking worms. Only if, and I do mean only, the lorry suddenly slams it's brakes on do I allow you to panic. Then all hell is going to break loose, and you're on your own, pal.

You would love NYC/New Jersey driving...though we don't have too many roundabouts.

Take a chill pill, dude. It's not worth raising your blood pressure over nimnos in cars. They're always going to be there, so you might as well remain calm.


OMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............

My brother raised the point that he waits for the truck to go, because they're bastards at cutting people up on roundabouts, which I agree to =o]

Don't talk shit!

How the hell can you be out accelerated by a truck? It weighs 30 times as much as your car, with only about 10 times as much power, at most.

Doofus. That is exactly the reason that you go when they do. They only cut you up with the back of the truck, not the front. If they do it with the front, that's not 'cutting someone up' that's just 'driving into you'.

Your brother is a lily livered pansy. Slap him for me.
