dealing with Nobbers

[markharry66]

After recent incident last week coming up to mini roundabout horn blasting behind me as I was in the middle of the road due to the fact there were parked cars. I wondering if its worth starting a thread where we report incidents similar to long running daily communting thread only an idea at least you will be able to see people who dont care a less about safety on the road or how they drive.

Well, I just had a nobber try and overtake me going up a hill to a round about and turning left on me, it didn't quite work out (due to my awesome uphill speed) and the car had to wait, which is exactly what he/she should have done to bloddy start with. grrrrr

On Monday I had one honk his horn to chivvy a car who was waiting patiently behind me then open the window next to me and shout, "Move over. You've got a KID!"

Which was exactly why I wasn't leaving room for cars to squeeze past me in the single lane going under a railway bridge in the first place. I really appreciate this community for guiding me on how to do that and how not to lose a moment's sleep wondering if I was wrong in some way for doing it.

Why would you start a thread about nobbers? They are just nobbers. :0)

Learn to ignore the nobbers, and enjoy the ride.

If you wish to comment on your commute today, we have a thread for that, some include 'nobber count', personally I gave up when I ran out of fingers, and learnt to ignore the lower species....

The other morning there was a fella in a BMW (probably nothing to do with his on road attitude) who when impatiently sitting in traffic cut into the bus lane in front of me and undertook the traffic through one set of lights. I caught up with him at the next junction where he was flicking his way through facebook. I have this on cam. Should I do anything about it?..

Yes, report to the Police.

Not wishing to sound defeatist or anything, but it could be a very long boring thread.

I was going to type one of my recent "I got beeped and shouted at despite being in the right" stories, to get things rolling, but I really can't be bothered.

Everyone on my commute this morning was nice and friendly, polite and considerate. It was a real pleasure.

Did they all give you a wave too?

I thought it was a thread about playing cards with Marmion.

You can't beat my story. Going down cycle lane this morning. Car pulls in front of me stops then door swings open, drivers little squeeze jumps out.

Did he pull in up the junction?




Thought I'd get that in before anyone else...

We don't need MORE traffic droids.
