But more so those who insist on pulling into the nearside lane even though they should be able to see you want to pull out.

When there is a traffic jam on it - people who will not let you pull out of the side road (which is a dead end so no cut through) into this jam. What am I supposed to go back home until the jam is cleared?

I'm not talking about when it's bumper to bumper.I'm talking about when there is NO TRAFFIC behind me on the local main roads.However I agree with you about all the rest.

Incog.

I know you weren't - just got me thinking about some other similar irritations.

And another one.

On the same piece of road, when I am signalling left to turn in, the drivers that insist on slowing down to 20 mph behind you rather than pulling out to the other lane to pass you (when there is no other traffic around). It's as if they are too lazy to turn the steering wheel - yet will have to change gear!!

its even worse if the can't pronounce their 'r's and then insist on calling me rebecca, so it comes out like webecca

"Webecca" sounds like a good name for Chewbacca's sister

Actually not being able to pronounce the letter "r" is a speech impediment and we shouldn't make fun of such a thing...unless it's Jamie Oliver of course
