I think the horn should only be used only as a last resort,
(to warn drivers who aren't paying attention for example)
the time and effort used to sound your horn would be better applied
to the brake or evasive action.
I often laugh at a roundabout, when some-one does something stupid,
I always give them a smile and wave them on.
and I always recieve an apologetic wave.
instead of the usual road rage etc.
"horns are for boy racers" us more mature gentleman drivers
have little use for them
btw. wigan pier, you're not really one of these "ahem" spar truckers are you?

thats the way to do it and i wish we all did it...i think the british are terrible for road rage..everybody makes mistakes and i think the british cant wait to get on the horn and use sign language!!
i will admit i do sometimes mutter under my breath...but you have really got to remember that it may be you on the recieving end of some abuse next time...

What gets on your nerves when you are away in your van.
The thing that annoys me most is when i am having something to eat or watching TV and people walk past the van close up and then stop and just about put their nose on the window
Maybe its the tinted windows but what a dam cheek some people have.
Nothing annoys me..I've learned not to give a £$%^!
( Folks would probably live longer if they do that...)
Let them eat cake, I say...

Correct.
If theres one thing that p1sses me off its folks that chuck rubbish away.
I was at spurn point last year..the seaward side of the point looked like a rubbish tip
on the beach. Paper cups..old tyres..Shame really.
What are they thinking about when they just throw their rubbish away?

I agree with you I learned my lesson as a teenager
i stopped at traffic lights, lit a cigarette and threw my empty packet
out the window. A young lad on a bike picked it up and said
"excuse me sir,I think you dropped this!"
I was so taken aback that I thanked him.
but ive been litter concious ever since

Litter acorns. I get a pocketfull before they get eaten & chuck them around..
You never know..One of them is a 4ft tree, in my garden..after ten years.
Potting them up first gives them a better chance.
I read something on the net that said civilization is old guys, planting trees that they
will not live long enough to see.
Kinda true..

The local authority "jobsworths" who put overnighting/camping restrictions on nice parking areas that are well away from houses and are empty at night, where parking up is not going to inconvenience or harm anyone.

I am not being sexist here but it but gets on my nerves when i see women looking in the rear view mirror checking their makeup,hair,and the rest of it at 70 mile an hour and on the mobile phone at same time.
and on the mobile phone at same time.

Ah well ***** mate they get a lot of practice some even do it in gale force winds.I can do that as well as holding and eating a packet of crisps, holding and drinking a cup of tea and lighting up a fag
But putting the make up on while looking in the wing mirror is an art
