Hello all. In the last two days I've been beeped by three seperate vehicles. Am I doing something wrong or are motorists getting more aggressivee/impatient:
1) Approach red light for crossroads to go straight over. left hand lane is the correct one for me. very long queue of traffic so I filtered up the RHS to three or four vehicles from the front. I pull level with the gap between cars and wait. Light turns green, the cars set off and I follow, merging into the gap. Matey-boy behind tries to overtake on the junction and misjudges my speed so has to abort. I am travelling at the same speed as the cars (downhill) so take primary/right hand side so I can be ready to filter past next queue in a short distance. BEEEEEP!
2) this one is explained by idiotic WVM. Riding up steep hill with parked cars on the left, queuing traffic in opposite direction. I pull into next large gap and keep going. However I was obviously going to slow for WVM who, as he passed, BEEEEEEEEP!
3) This morning similar to 1) however only one lane for all turning directions. I filter down the RHS of the queue however the light turns green so I prepare to merge with the accelerating traffic. I find a gap and move into it however the car in front stalls. I therefore go around and continue over the junction. He restarts and the BEEEEEP!
Any thoughts?
