Giving me the w ⚓ sign, because I stopped your incompetent driver from overtaking me into the path of two oncoming 🚔 cars with lights and sirens wasn't a fair reaction from the passenger here!

The trouble with stationary drivers using phones is when they move off. This one missed the traffic setting off in front of her and ended up jumping the red light quite late.

Road closure near me... Very heavy traffic on the country lanes. Explained it to a driver. Hope it was helpful.

Incompetent driver. Separated cycle lanes are going in and drivers are whining about them.

Sometimes feels like one in four drivers can't be bothered to turn the steering wheel a few more inches to avoid getting reported for a close pass, let alone passing another human being in a safe manner.
Other times, everyone gets it right and all is right on the roads!

Three no left turn signs ignored, tenth driver reported doing this, £500 raised for the public purse. Truly an idiot tax.

I've now reported nine drivers who don't agree with the temporary closure of this left turn. What other laws do they ignore when it's convenient?

Somehow I'm not convinced that contacting the business will bear fruit here. Could be wrong. Sent to the police anyway. Touching distance!

This driver stopped after I squawked at the close pass. Apparently the central reservation meant he couldn't leave enough space. I said he should've waited for the road to open up again (Highway Code) but this wasn't something he could understand at all. 1/2
