Why do they insist on being as obtrusive as possible when picking up the bins on "bin day"? And why do they insist on doing it at peak times in the morning? I'm sure they block the traffic as a way of personal amusement! :x

Amen.
Mine do this REALLY badly. It's like their little victory. They spend their day picking up other peoples rubbish, so make other people's day just that little bit rubbish every chance they get.

The whole motorway was doing between 50 and 0 due to stop start morning rush hour traffic. I decided to be the stop part of this sequence.
I wouldn't say it's irresponsible at all, if the car infront had stopped to any great pace at all I'd have had an Audi in my boot as soon as I had to brake.
I decided to slow down in a safe and controlled manner and make her very aware she was driving FAR to close. When you really think about it, slowly slowing down a motorway is far superior to the bloke infront braking hard because he's paying 100% attention, me in turn having to brake harder due to reaction time and her smashing my car to bits and causing hours of delays.
I'd be curious to know if you still think it's a bad idea or not though?
dr_john said:Well, you did imply in your original post that you were doing '77mph-ish ' so 'between 50 and 0' puts a slightly different complexion on it.

Nothing wrong with women Audi drivers, my wife is one![]()

I was so angry I did consider stopping all together, then when she went for the overtake and I saw it was a woman I was glad I didn't bother. I did make sure she didn't pass though, and she almost hit a skip lorry trying it :evil:
