Default I think it's a simple question

If you are sat behind a car at a junction onto an A road and the car in front just refuses to pull out unless there is half a mile space in the traffic coming either way, at what point do you just go round them. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, or never (according to my wife).

It's quite simple really, you just ram it out the way, and then carry on with your journey.

The driver in front get the kick up the backside he or she needs, and you get to your destination on time - everyone's happy.....simples!

You stop for traffic and junctions

Has to be said it is a bit of a pet hate that! Especially when your sat behind a car waiting to enter the round about on a double lane entrance and their is an arctic lorry that can pull away in time in the lane next to us, but not the car in front how he he'll did they get a licence

That could have been me! Lol
There's a couple of reasons the wagons get out before these plebs,

1, It's not mine.
2, I don't insure it.
3, I'm bigger than you
4, Chances are, I won't feel a thing if you do make contact.

Joking aside though, these people do make your pi$$ boil

ARGH! It's so annoying when one lane is moving but the person in front of you is too afraid to move.

Oh yes! And that's becoming more prevalent too.

There's no set answer to that problem, blow your horn and you are then the target of the 'look at that smart ****' brigade, if you don't blow your horn then the driver behind you will and you'll then get the blame, go round them and you'll still be in the wrong, very frustrating situation.
Plus any sign of impatience and you will make the driver in front more nervous which will delay the manouvre.

Solution, get the wife to drive and blame her

What pisses me off more, is they sit there with a clear road waiting, then pull out when a queue of cars come along and leave you sat there like a ****!
