Where to start?
As a pedestrian/cyclist:
I get mighty riled when people don't indicate and wind up making me run/jump back onto pavements etc, and have been known to have a polite word with people on occasion. I'm a quite a big bloke so this has never erupted into genuine violence.

As a Driver pt 1:
I drive at whatever speed is most comforable for me in the situation I am in. This is, I think, the most sensible way to drive as I am aware of my surroundings and able to react in time etc.
I sometimes get abuse (especially on narrow country roads) for not tearing the road up at the upper boundary of the speed limit. So to anyone who thinks people doing 40 on derestricted country roads is bad/dangerous/annoying - fuck off. Imagine the situation if I was coming the other way, faster than I felt comfortable, and hit you - you wouldnt be happy then, would you? Qunts.

As a Driver pt 2:
Rental vans are often old and out of condition. However, if you have rented a van and you are not driving at least 10% over the limit, you can often be on the receiving end of years of white van related bile, despite having actually driven as fast as the van will take you, and in the most considerate way possible.

As a Driver pt 3:
I use motorways properly (its not called the slow lane, its called the driving lane - the other two are for overtaking). if you dont, you're a twat.

As a bus user:
LET OTHER PEOPLE OFF THE BUS BEFORE YOU GET ON!
And if you're driving - it may be important for you to get somewhere, but there's 35 people on a bus who also need to get somewhere, so that makes the bus 35x as important as you. give way.

Phew, that was quite a rant. My spleen feels fully vented. Sorry about the bulk of my spleen.
