Are they more prevalent today than bygone times?
I was driving to work just now and happened to be overtaking a young lady on the dual carriageway who was moving rather sedately. Upon nearing the drivers side, I noticed that this woman had a compact mirror and makeup set in one hand, a makeup brush in the other, and the visor/mirror down blocking her view ahead. I dutifully slowed to match her speed so Mrs N could motion for her to perhaps pay a tad more attention to what was on the road, and perhaps prevent her causing someone else's death in a pile up. The response from this person was to flip the bird at Mrs N, then as she sped away, to use the universal gesture of the 'wanker' at myself. My flabber was well and truly gasted! The ungrateful fucker has the cheek to admonish me for potentially saving her life or that of someone she might have hit.  |

unfortunately minding you're own business is the rule of today .........respect has gone out the window ........i recall a time when I had my mobile in my hand I wasn't using it but driving a guy noticed this and swerved sharply to the left luckily forcing me into a bus lane (empty) and I drove whole length of bus lane beating quite a bit of traffic so good things come from bad judgements  |

One of our engineers at work was filmed driving in a company van whilst texting on his phone and using his knees to steer, the person who filmed it put it on Facebook and Twitter and tagged our companies official social media accounts into it, needless to say the engineer was swiftly unemployed! |

"You should filmed the stupid woman along with her registration and forwarded it to the police."

Taxi picked me up at my door. He was jabbering away on his mobile. Off we went...... I did think he'd have stopped when I got in but no.
He was turning round in my road and I kept thinking he'll stop in a minute.
He straightened up and drove off still talking on the phone.
I said could you stop please. He did but kept talking on the phone.
I got out and walked back to my house to phone another taxi.
He shouted out of the window...... Oi ..... are you coming back ? I smiled NO.
I don't think people are particulary rude just immeasurably THICK ........ fucking one cell beings and that's being generous.
P.S. O.P. Don't slow down and tell other people what to do. You'll cause an accident. |

I think someone like that is unlikely to behave reasonably to any attempts to draw attention to their behaviour because they're too stupid/selfish/ignorant to acknowledge they're doing anything wrong |

Any biker knows this happens all the time. You get a sixth sense for them, braking for no reason, lane discipline and travelling below the speed limit. That's why most bikers have a helmet camera. |

I've done exactly the same!!! When I'm in a taxi I want the driver to concentrate 100% on driving. This one had 3 phones!!! |
