Absolutely drives me to boiling point when car drivers encroach on my side of the road, completely oblivious to my right to be there.
Its usually when they misjudge a turn but van drivers seem to find it acceptable to drive straight at me so they can then park blocking the road completely!
Mostly I growl at them while they pretend they can't see me, but today a driver growled at me, and then had the cheek to wind his window down and suggest I move!!!
I was on the car park waiting to right, he was coming from the right and so turning to his left. There was a car on the road in front so I had a foot down waiting about a 3rd of the way out into my lane and this car was getting closer! So I'm watching thinking he is awfully close why didn't he just wait?! When he starts gesturing and muttering so I ask " is your side of the road not bug enough?" Then his window comes down and he says " I wasn't going to say anything but why don't you just move?" "And where would you like me to go, into the mud on the verge?!" But he just muttered so I suggested he learned to drive or bought a smaller car much to the amusement of the chap walking past, who then agreed that one lane really ought to be enough. That is how roads were designed after all.
