Overtaking and pulling out

Over the last few months, maybe even years, I've noticed an annoying phenomenon. People hate people overtaking them or pulling out in front of them to overtake someone else. There are also people who hate people who pull out of junctions as they are approaching and there are even people who frown upon other people daring to pull out onto roundabouts, before they have even reached said roundabout!

I give you exhibit A:

Tonight, I had just pulled onto the A19 and was driving in the inside lane, waiting for a gap in the outside lane so I could overtake the slow moving lorry I was behind. When I found a suitable gap I pulled out. However, the (and I can only describe him as this) knob jockey who was driving his Vauxhall Corsa some considerable distance behind, suddenly sped up and drove (thankfully, not literally) right up my arse for the next few miles, clearly unhappy that I had dared pull into the space in front of him.

I give you exhibit B:

We have a mini roundabout in town. Yesterday I was waiting to turn right at it and when I saw a gap in the traffic of about 15 meters I decided to pull out and drive round it. I was a good 5 meters out of it when I came level with the car approaching from the right, and the driver glared angrily at me, as I had had the audacity to pull out onto the roundabout as he was approaching. I wonder how far back he would have had to have been before I would NOT have got that glare??!!

I give you exhibit C:

Actually, I will not give you exhibit C because I'm starting to sound like a Daily Mail reader from Purley, but rest assured, there are many other examples I can think of which largely involve people speeding up whenever you pull out in front of them or who chase you for miles and miles just trying to get a chance to get in front of you, just to "show you that you can't mess with them"

So, I feel better having got that of my chest now, so I can now go and enjoy the rest of my evening!
