I've noticed something about driving. Apparently it's some sort of game, the aim of which is to get to places faster than everyone else, be as obstructive as possible and, in a real life version of a Tower Defence game, make it as difficult as possible for people to get where they need to go by placing your vehicle in their path.
Really. On my drive to and from work each day, I witness a ridiculous number of incidents of cretinous, tadger-brained jackasses deliberately preventing other drivers from getting into the lane they need to be in on the motorway, or cutting people up needlessly on roundabouts. It's like points are scored for every instance of inconvenience caused.
We all want to be somewhere and we all want to get there as soon as possible. We can all help each other do that by doing simple things like easing off the accelerator or touching the brake for a moment every now and then. The amount of effort involved in allowing someone to change lanes or pull out of a side road is minuscule.
There's no need to be a dick about it.
