Wesley, I concur on drivers who cut you off, (and many other examples of bad manners) it's better just to ignore them than pointlessly getting your blood pressure up. I'm only afraid for the drivers on the other side of the road who are about to encounter them a few miles on! Once upon a time it occured to me that one reason we find other drivers so frustrating is that we're all closed in our little metal boxes unable to communicate with each other. There may be a good reason why the guy in front of you is doing only 30 kmph but if he can't tell you and you can't get past, bile starts to rise! One solution i thought of was to have those elctronic message boards like the ones you see in banks and social welfare offices. They could be placed along teh back window and carry a few pre-set messages like 'oops! sorry for cutting you off" or "pardon me for that bit of overtaking".

Then two problems occured to me - just like indicators people would probably forget to use them anyway, and it would be only a matter of time before someone found a way to re-engineer them to carry offensive messages; th electronic equivalent of giving a two-finger salute!

Happy Christmas to all you mudcatters, see you in the New Year!
