I had just entered a roundabout and was indicating to turn right (and
therefore was in the right hand lane). This car pulled out infront of me
from next entrance to the roundabout into a gap that simply wasn't big
enough, resulting in me braking and still nearly ending up in his rear
bumper! To compound matters, he had the nerve to wind his window down
and make obsence hand gestures towards me as if I was in the wrong for
being so close to the back of his car. Once the road ahead had cleared
he accelerated off in a 50 zone (I was going 45 and he pulled away like
nothing else)
Idiot.

I was driving along redcar road at the max limit (30mph) when this driver tailgated me as if I was going too slow.
Just before a bend he suddenly overtook me nearly hitting an oncoming car then proceeded to drive at 15mph as if he was teaching me a lesson for being too slow.After a few minutes he indicated a right turn then just at the last minute sped off going straight on.

Durham Lane, Eaglescliffe; heading North towards Stockton/A66; roadworks with temporary lights on red:
Fiat van in front of me stopped at the lights for a moment or two then, seeing no traffic, decided to go through. The risks are obvious.
3 seconds later, a mini-bus approached from the opposite direction, and had to slow to a stop to avoid hitting the van; van slowed to a stop too.
Minibus driver decided (rightly) it s his right of way, so he wouldn t budge.
I waited back where the big obvious red sign told me to wait, so there was a nice long gap behind the van where he could have reversed and got out of the way if he wanted to.
No. That would be like admitting he was wrong. He used the verge to try and creep around the minibus. Minibus driver wound down his window and no doubt had a little word with the van driver as they passed.
A few moments later, the lights changed; I set off and caught up with f*ckwit van-driver a mile further on. So that wasn t much of a time-saver anyway.
Van had livery on it: "Advanced Roofing". Didn t get the phone number, sadly.

Just after I joined the A19 South, I saw this one heading South in lane 2, right up behind another car (which was doing just over 70 anyway) in a "getoutofmywaypeasant" style. No need for it.
