I always too when I get back from the shop, hoping that hubby will hear and come and help me unload, it doesn't often work though ;-((

Today when I was parked on the drive, if I lean in to get my bag and position myself wrong I lean on the horn, which is in the middle of the steering wheel!

How are people supposed to know where you are going? I had an accident at a roundabout once --I was about to indicate left at the next junction and a guy from behind thought I was turning at the one I was passing and shot right into my side and pushed me into middle of carriageway - what a hassle we had with insurance. Ros

Strangely enough Ros, that was another thing they had views on. Having been taught to drive more years ago than I want to admit to, I understood you should indicate when joining and leaving roundabouts, I was told that this is now not necessary ;-((

Good for you , Dee. What annoys me on the road are people who do not indicate--male or female. Ros

I am serious about this guy who was an advanced driver, he also told me I was driving too slow at one point!!!!! He did however tell me that at the end of the day I was completely in charge, so when he told me to reverse into a parking place in a supermarket car park, on a busy Sunday, in the rain, I drove into the space forwards and asked him to get out of the car ;-)))

not to the tasty ones ;-))) wink wink say no more Twizzle

I hope not to the female drivers Twizz, ;-))

Being a trucker the fingers and a swear word always works for me when I come across inconsiderate road users ;-)))))))))))) Twizzle

A warning toot - the other day, when someone walked into the road in front of me!

I would've thought tooting is the last thing you do when approaching a horse!!! I just slow, almost to a standstill. Thinking again about tooting in general, by the time I've thought of honking someone, they've long gone!!!! Angela

btw Dee whoever told you to toot anywhere near a horse and rider was completely mad.....

It was so long ago, I can't remember....

Ah , but we,re white van drivers , cleaners and female so we always blast politely. xx

Angela, he has probably been for Advanced Driving Lessons I went to one, it was part of a package when I got a new car, and they are great believers in tooting. They even told me to too when I saw a horserider ahead, to let him know I was there!!!! It was about then I decided the lessons were not for me White van drivers, I was always told to steer well clear of them Kim ;-)))))

Reminds me of the old song, it was fun Beep Beep (The Bubble Car Song) - The Playmates While riding in my limousine What to my surprise A little Bubble Car was following me About one-third my size The guy must have wanted to pass me out As he kept on tooting his horn <sound of horn - beep beep!> I'll show him that a limousine Is not a car to scorn <chorus> I pushed my foot down to the floor To give the guy the shake But the little Bubble Car stayed right behind He still had on his brake He must have thought his car had more guts As he kept on tooting his horn <sound of horn - beep beep!> I'll show him that a limousine Is not a car to scorn <chorus> My car went in to passing gear And we took off with gust And soon we were doing ninety Must have left him in the dust When I peeked in the mirror of my car I couldn't believe my eyes The little Bubble Car was right behind You'd think that guy could fly <chorus> Now we're doing a hundred and ten It certainly was a race For a Bubble to pass a limo Would be a big disgrace The guy must have wanted to pass me out As he kept on tooting his horn I'll show him that a limousine Is not a car to scorn <chorus> Now we're doing a hundred and twenty As fast as I could go The Bubble pulled alongside of me As if we were going slow The fellow rolled his window down And yelled for me to hear 'Hey buddy how can I get this car out... of... second gear!' <chorus> Beep beep <sound of horn - beep beep!> Beep beep <beep beep> His horn went beep beep beep <beep beep

Can't remember - hardly any traffic round here! Mind you, there is an idiot who honks at about 4.45 every day as he approaches the bend along the lane. I always think, why don't you just slow down, you ****!!! Angela

Hi Dee , I drive a white van and as everyone knows we are the most patient people on the roads, so no don,t toot, just BLAST !!!! lol xx Kim x

All the time,Im a born tooter;-))lol

I have the same trouble Anne, I need airhorns really, like they used to have on the big lorries ;-))
