    “The worst possible thing to do is NOT make eye contact. Middle aged women are terrible at this; drifting into lanes, not indicating, cutting across you, etc, etc, and the most annoying thing they can possibly do when you've beeped and flashed them is pretend that nothing has happened by sitting there staring straight ahead with their nose in the air. ACKNOWLEDGE AND APOLOGISE otherwise you WILL get someone continuing to flash and beep you until you do!”

    “As someone else said you never know hat the other driver will do
    Cut some drivers up in parts of London and you could be assulted or even shot at. Believe me, i have lived there and there and there isnt much the police can do
    Moral down there is dont cut anyone up or make eye contact looks like its speading North”
