Total knobs that don't know how to use filter lanes are a pet hate of mine. Got stuck behind some total bint in a Beemer last week that entered the filter lane by the Sefton and then just stopped dead in the road, she just sat there waiting for an age waiting for a gap. The guy immediately behind her ended up going around her, that's how bad it was.

When I leave M&S I like to make sure I have a gap in front so I can come out onto Victoria St at a good speed which usually results in panic and horns from those idiots coming down the street who seem to think I should have stopped at the INVISIBLE give way sign. I then stop, holding them up , get out and invite them to point out said INVISIBLE give way sign, when they can't I then encourage them to go to the sea terminal and buy a highway code. I am though secretly waiting for someone to run into me so I can get the rear arches of my car repaired on their insurance!

If there are no idiots to play with coming onto Vic St its only a matter of yards before I come across the professional drivers of the taxi rank who seem to think its OK to actually park in a cue in the left lane of upper Vic St. Again this time its my turn to use my horn, this usually results in them spilling their coffee and dropping their newspaper, its better to make them get out of the cab and come and speak to you cos it really makes them mad especially when you ask them how long will the tow truck be cos its clear they and all there mates have broken down, why else would you park in the middle of a traffic lane I say !! Problem is the damn police or traffic wardens turn a blind eye so we have no hope only good fun winding them up.
:shock:

Yes the taxi diriver are a pain I must admit.
And the amount of drivers ( I use the term loosely) who dont let you in when using the filter lane at the bottom of victoria street my girlfriend gets me to go different ways because it gets my back up lol.

I just use the roads properly, onto victoria street a from m&s car park and at the bottom of victoria street. I take great pleasure from people panicing and using the horn with their eyes closed just because they don't understand the highway code!!!!! ;)

My personal favourite is Victoria street onto the prom by RBS. That feed lane is almost funny. They all pull around it then remember they have to check the road to filter. Apparently they forget you have a mirror in the car so you see them straining like F**K trying to see if there is anything coming through their blind spot.
What happened to the days of looking first and adjusting your speed. Taxis are always the best for it
