Miracle 1: pull up to a T-junction in car-tastic Aylesbury, steady stream of cars from the left, none from right, waiting to pull out and miracle of miracles, a Rover flashes me in... :shock:

Then on way back, feeling unwell, some pr :evil: ts had parked really badly at the same junction, as I pulled up behind them, Peugeot coming the other way...flashed me past (Even though I think it was his right of way)... :shock: :shock:

I am still in shock

It's just a hill. Get over it.

    That wasn't a driver, it was a cyclist behind the wheel of a car.

    There are good drivers, just the same as there are idiot cyclists. We're all the same people, just different modes of transport.

    It's always nice when it happens though!

    Here, Like a horn it means "I am here, have you seen/heard me"

    It's the action that follows it that matters.

    Well, it was followed by me pulling out and a) not being mown down and b) not being slaughtered in a wondrously splattery bit of road rage

    Plus, I'm a driver too - I know the secret signs... :P
