Drivers often seem such an angry bunch to me which doesn't make for a pleasant environment sometimes.I think a lot of them get whipped up by media nonsense - Clarkson, the Sun and the Daily Mail being the first 3 that spring to mind, and even Matthew Parris in the Times managed to get in on the act with his rather dumb "stringing piano wire across country lanes to decapitate cyclists" remark. Now whether drivers do take this literally there's no way to know, but being a muppet seems to be an ever increasing facet of the everyday British motorists' behaviour. All you can do is be aware you'll often have to think for a drivers actions as well as your own. Ok, rant over, normal service resumed now.</blockquote>
