Did you all go to bed and genuinely wake up raging about this?

Nope.
I’ll always give someone the benefit of the doubt (as we all make mistakes) but my patience wears thin if they continue to be consistently outspoken arrogant idiot for more than, say, a couple of years!
I’ll feel like a winner if I get an apology but somehow I think that, true to form, this will be ignored.

@ranos ..yep..the whole of the time I was typing it ..😉

If you need to resort to etymology in order to justify an obvious insult, then it’s time to stop and have a think.

I think the thread has reached…

Ranos ..thanks for the advice..I will try to bear that in mind should the need arise again ( and then promptly dismiss it and write what the hell I want )
Thanks

Is there any chance that we could start using the PM system for awesome comments, personal sniping , epic comebacks and general insults, please?

No problem with discussion and argument, but far to many threads seem to descend into personal spats, discouraging further consideration of the original point.

Anyway, back to driving

Rule #2: if another road user looks erratic give them room.

Always give people room. The point about being erratic is that it’s unpredictable so you never know when anyone’s going to do something silly.

Rule #2: if another road user looks erratic give them room.

I missed Rule #1. Was it “Drive as though all other road users are idiots”?

Rule #1 is “Don’t be a dick”! Obviously broken on a regular basis 😉

@molgrips – indeed, maybe I should have written: “Give them more room”.

@perchypanther yeah, you’re right. I just don’t suffer fools gladly and wasn’t prepared to let that utter guff slide. There are no winners here but I’d rather make a fool of myself than let that twunt try to do it for me.

It wasn’t aimed at you particularly.

It was for all the petulant man-babies. 😉

That would be entirely in keeping.
