Texters

Story from the BBC about how many drivers are using their phones: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31634425

It seems to tie in with experience. Ideally, stiffer penalties for the abusers. No great surprise that van drivers are the worst offenders.

Commuting encounters

I rarely commute into London by car, but with it being half term and less traffic on the roads, I drove in this morning.  It's amazing how many wankers you can encounter in 45 minutes.

Firstly, was followed by some guy in a little Fiat (RO59MYH), who then took a short cut through St. Peter's hospital to come out up ahead onto St. Peter's Way.  Having spent a lot of time in the hospital with the girls and for myself, I can confidently say that only absolute ignorant bell-ends use it as a short cut, flaunting the clear signage, and potentially blocking up access for emergency vehicles.

Traffic was a bit heavy at the A3 exit from the M25, where a couple of guys in a grey rust heap cut in at the last minute, then undercut the lane going to the A3 south and blocked the roundabout cutting back in.

Driving up the A3 towards London, some wanker in a white van was struggling to stay in lane (a middle-lane hog at that), due to spending the time texting on his phone.  I saw someone get pulled over yesterday for that, hopefully getting a good-sized fine.

Coming off the A3 at Putney, some fat cunt in a white Audi cut into the exit lane behind me.

Finally, had to deal with an aggressive EasyBus driver.  These guys are some of the worst on the road around here, driving too fast, abusing lanes.  This one tried to overtake me at a junction then honked when I merged in the right place ahead of him.  Complaint submitted, doubt it will be actioned.

Bellend

Not a great surprise from a land rover driver but this guy was a total cunt at Tesco Brooklands.  Blocking traffic to pull out the wrong way from the car wash then when he couldn't find a regular parking spot pulled into a disabled place.  Absolute selfish ignorant scum.  Tried to get Tesco to make an announcement for him to move it but they didn't give a shit.
