Standards of driving rant

[WiNgNuTz]

The thing that really crawls up my nose at the moment, is when i try to reverse into my driveway, which looks like this:


So I always come from the right of the pic, as its a one way system....I indicate to the near side in plenty of time, pull over and stop, then engage reverse. At which point, the drivers behind me usually get right up my chuff, then get the arse with me like its my fault they can't see me indicating. Invariably (as its such a busy road), this then means i have to go round the block again as they leave themselves nowhere to go.

Same thing applies for when i pull out of the drive....as you can see, there are high, close-boarded fences around the whole garden, meaning i can't see anyone coming along the path until my drivers window is level with the fence....which also means the bonnet ends up poking out into the road. I can sit and wait for a gap to get out into for what feels like an absolute age sometimes! Even have to reverse back into the drive on occasion to allow pedestrians past on the path. Very rarely does anyone slow down to let me out.
