Nah, not possible. There's no aggression on the UK roads according to Jonc

Firstly I am glad you have reached the intellectual level of a baboon and can use Google, well done

Secondly your original statement was about the UK in absolute terms, not as a comparison to another country you have no real world experience of. You stated that there was little aggression on the UK roads. You, as usual, are wrong.

I really think people shouldn't believe everything they read in the press. Or if they choose to they could look at this:

UK retains road rage title

UK is road rage capital of the WORLD

Now where have I seen that image before?

Road rage statistics in the UK ‘worrying’

The press.... w4nkers. Think I will use my own experiences as my judgement thank you!

Hey dbp, going to make another smart ar5ed comment now you snidy little ****?

Firstly, thanks.

Secondly, my original statement you are refering to:
Must be the part of the country you live in, I've never seen that level of aggression you describe on the roads where I live or on my 50 mile round trip to and from work .
is in another thread and clearly was not about the UK in "absolute terms", I know because I posted it . It is a comparison between the sh!thole part of the country you live in as it's full of aggressive drivers amongst other things, whereas the area I live is quite pleasent and has none of the aggressiveness you experience in that regard, therefore it was in "relative terms" dumbo. You say I've reached the intellectual levels of baboons, you howver clearly have yet to reach it. Come back when you do!

I think you've missed the point as ever. You decided to start comparing the UK to Australia. My point was that your comments were solely referring to the UK which they were (the post you just quoted proves that). Your implication was that I was either wrong or it is somehow different where I live to where you live which is nonsense as I see it all over the UK when I travel for work

You then decided to plough on and post some links to 'prove' that Australia is the road rage capital of the world forgetting that the media love to twist any statistics to sell their rags as is proved by the links I posted claiming the UK is actually the capital of road rage rather than Australia. Or are they both right?

I think we can therefore ignore the press and go on real world experience. You do a 50 mile trip to work in Utopia. I travel all over the country and have worked and visited Australia extensively therefore my opinion is obviously more valid.

As for where you live being more pleasant than here (no doubt you'll soon be telling us how much your house is worth ... you're that type) that's as maybe aside from the fact that at least round here doesn't seem to be inhabited by too many ****s like you

Don't be stupid, I'd never tell you or anyone else here for that matter how much my 8 bedroomed little abode, set in a gated 6 acres of a beautiful mix of wooded copse, landscaped gardens and fishing lake is worth. The place you live in might not be inhabited by too many ****s, but then you're all the **** that your area could take.

What? So now you are agreeing that the UK has lots of aggression on the roads. Make you mind up FFS.

It's like you have two personalities on here.

I shall have to start calling you Dr. Heckle and Mr. Snide
