>>>>You think then I'd be allowed to do something about it? I can see it now. We start with drivers. A pogrom against drivers who refuse to signal lane changes and turns, drivers who divide the speed limit by 2 and add 10% of their IQ to figure out how fast to drive, drivers who wait forever to come out of shopping mall exits while there are no cars around, until you get close, then swing out in front of you, drivers who enter an intersection when the cars on the other side are backed up so that they end up sitting in the middle of the intersection when the light changes. When that's all done, then we re-evaluate to see if there are enough people left to be concerned about. My guess is not.

>>>How about drivers who sit in the left lane at a junction (intersection?), you come up and stop behind them, then when the lights change, it's then they decide to put their left turn indicator on (Of course, this applies to the right turn in the UK)

>>Yes! Don't know how I missed that one. Of course, that only happens if there is a long line of cars in the right lane so you can't change over.

>And I guess I didn't read that one too closely - that bugs the hell out of me, but my version is where you're coming up an expressway, and there's a truck waiting at the junction, and there's no-one behind you, and, rather than waiting a few secs for you to pass, he pulls out in front of you, causing you to brake, then labours up the gears with you behind.

>Oh and how about the guys who park and leave a long, easy gap between themselves and the cars either side, rathewr than parking close to one, such that the 3 cars take up the parking spaces of 4? This is getting more and more critical here as our roads are just about chocker-block. I find this in my home street (a free-parking haven in a sea of unwelcome residents' and pay-and-display parking) and in the streets at work.

>In Boston they don't like signalling. I got it off an ex-pat Brit living there that the reason Bostonians give is "So's you don't let the enemy know your intentions" :-)

There is truth to that. Sometimes when you're driving south for example and you come to an intersection and want to make a left turn, a driver driving north will, without signalling, make a right turn, and I'm absolutely convinced that some do it in order to freeze you so they can make their turn ahead of you. Usually they want to turn directly (and illegally) into the lane you'd be turning into.

The other peeve is the driver ahead of you who wants to make an illegal turn into the wrong lane, so he sits there forever waiting for the traffic in both lanes to die away. You could both have made perfectly legal turns 5 times in the time he keeps you sitting there.
