Sat behind a bin lorry this morning, there was room to pass on the outside but it was just before a bend on a busy road and I had no idea if another car was coming, so I waited, figuring that the lorry will move on soon anyway. White van three vehicles back gets impatient, screeches past, tooting his horn. Council worker has to jump out of the way. Fortunately no car came the other way, but 5 seconds later it did and there would have been a collision, guaranteed. I will never apologise for being the one who waits behind a vehicle rather than looks at every opportunity to overtake, this mindless example just proves to me that there really are some ar$eholes on the road, mainly in white vans

These are the bane of my housemate's life, as they effectively prevent him from travelling in his mobility scooter. He can't even pop up to Morrisons (15 minute walk straight up a main A-road) as some roads don't have drop-kerbs, and those that do have selfish gits parked on them.
