Tapping the side of your head and looking at them is also compulsory. Do you do this at 90 mph plus and swerve in front of the undertook car as well - maybe you were the sh*t for brains driver I'm talking about ;)
I slow down as passing to make sure they can see my head shaking.
Do they have to duck when you shake it to the right?

If other people's driving causes you to get upset, then it is time to put away your driving gloves.

I prefer a last second overtake and cutting back across to the inside lane a couple of inches in front of them. Especially if it's late at night and the roaf is empty.

I love that junction - the outside lane is always empty so floor it after the speed camera then whip across 3 lanes last minute. It’s all about holding your nerve as long as possible and being able to spot the timid drivers that will let you in.

A good cheat for roundabouts is to pick the less busy outside lane, do your lap of the roundabout and presto you exit front of the queue.

The thing is that some of these manoeuvres can be done safely. They might p*ss people off but they’re not dangerous. There has always been bad drivers but it’s the undertaking dip-sh-its that are some of the worst.

It seems to be getting worse and yesterday, on the ‘orrible A12, when looking to pull in from lane 2, I narrowly avoided some knobhead undertaking at speed on his way to narrowly miss me as he swung out in front of me.

Cnuts.
Consider yourself lucky - it was probably Mossad.

Could be - they’ve been missing quite a lot recently.
