Lanky's right about coaches - However, I do find courier vans pretty good at acknowledging when I flash the lights to let them out.

Coach drivers have all been lobotomised. I'd feel safer rolling over a cliff in a barrel than travelling on a national express.

You would feel like they do if you had to drive from manchester-Brum several times a week and you had to take 11 hours doing it! Fuggin coaches.

Too true - one went past me on the M4 the other day in the outside lane. Couldn't believe it!

Coach drivers have all been lobotomised. I'd feel safer rolling over a cliff in a barrel than travelling on a national express. Funny you should say that. On the M6 yesterday a National express coach changed from lane 1 to lane 2 for no reason whatsoever and without indicating causing the missus to slam on the anchors as we were very close to him. For a moment I thought the driver had fallen asleep or something. As we overtook in lane 3 we got no "thanks" or any kind of awknowledgement from the drive. Coach stayed in lane 2 for miles and miles holding up traffic too. A bit bizzare really but ive seen lorries do the same. Seems to be standard behaviour for knackered old smoky transits too. |

Indeed - and when I'm in the 240 it seems to encourage even worse driving from other road users.

What really REALLY REALLY winds me up as a class 2 driver is when some KNOB decides to cut around the inside and accross the front of me on roundabouts, or when you have one lane for straight on, one for turn etc. FOOLS don't realise that undertaking is illegal for a reason. If I wasnt paranoid about people getting into my blind spots around corners I would say at least 10 people in the past month would have successfully found out what its like having a lorry parked on top of them

I've found that driving an old OAP beige car makes me invisible to other road users, either that or people assume i'm going to be driving like a doddery old twit and pull out in front of me anyway. I now fear roundabouts due to the fact that i may get driven into at any moment. I've also found that passing people on a dual carriageway causes them to accelerate suddenly, lest they should suffer the ignominy of being overtaken by a rusty hearing aid.
