No amount of main beam (in car) from me makes them realise -they either flash back or give you finger salutes. Happening more and more these days...Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

• jumping red lights when your going in the same directly is annoying, but when they are traveling perpendicular to you and then then have to slam on the fucking anchor's to avoid and collision and then they have the fucking cheek to tell you to fuck off when you pull them on it - I have lost count of the amount of times I have to restrain myself from beating someone into a comma. Or worse you grab a cop and the cunt could not care less.
  
• not doing shoulder checks or heck just being fucking aware of whats around them - again slamming on the anchor's when I haven't been able to predict where the fuck there were going.
  
• riding in groups at peeks times, against the highway code and common sense - cops don't care, the royal parks service don't care, the cyclists don't care - so I just blast right through the middle of the bunch when they refuse to move over and the gap is big enough.
  
• just utterly failing to have any sort of basic riding skill or road awareness - these people are either literately too stupid and shouldn't be on the road in the first place.
  
• Having rear and front lights are blinding - I wish there was some sort of legal requirement that prevented cyclists and retailers from allowing the use and sale of these types of lights. The lights are so bright that they are brights than the HID/LED lights I have fitted the the Fazer.

Over the 25 years I have lived here there have been many RTCs on this junction(was going to say accidents but most of them have been caused by outright stupidity or careless/dangerous driving).
Lately I approach said junction with EXTREME CAUTION as more and more drivers simply dont even slow let alone look right or left  but sail across without showing any sign that they recognise they are crossing a junction.
I used to think it was too many distractions in cars like satnavs,infotainment centres and "danglies" from the rear view mirror. Now I believe that many drivers simply dont give a s**t ! After all who is going to pick them up on their errors?-we only see police vehicles on rapid response work-often unmarked- travelling at high speed. Tailgating and lane hogging are 2 other classic instances of moronic behaviour I witness daily.
Dont know what the answer is-its probably me getting old and cynical but there seems to be so much selfish behaviour generally these days-I think it has something to do with the narcissistic cult of celebrity s**t that pours forth from our tv sets unless we remember the on/off switch!
