No point talking to the horn-happy. They are brain dead so use the horn as a car equivelant of sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting "la la la"
Earlier in the week a car tried to shoot directly onto the RAB despite my coming through from the right. I was already on the RAB albeit coming through a gap left for me by a more courteous and observant driver in a queue across the RAB, so proceeding with caution.
Car in right hand lane of the entrance duly stopped, car on inside thought that lines of cars queueing mean she has a clear run across without slowing or looking, until I eyeballed her, even then as she did slow I had to move out to my right to stop my front wheel being nudged.
As I set off again she shakes her head in despair/disgust, In a moment I am past the RAB and there is nothing behind me, I stop and shout back to not shake her head but to SLOW down and to LOOK, and GIVE WAY to the right
I got as far as "Don't you shake your head..." before she had stopped (nothing in front of her, now she's just holding things up for people behind) and put her hand on the horn. As I continued she just sat there beeping her horn in an "I'm not listening" way. Then someone behind her joined in the horn medley to ask her to get going.
No point discussing it really, I shouldn't have even bothered. NOTHING can change the fact that - in her head - she was driving along her road when some idiot in a bicycle wobbled straight across her path and if she wasn't such a fantastically brilliant, alert and safe driver, there could have been a nasty accident. And to cap it all, the dangerous cyclist had the audacity to shout at her after she has just saved his life.
