A lot! Almost every evening the A13 is in gridlock, I'm filtering for 10 miles odd. Get no end of idiots trying to swap lanes, cause I'll get them home a good 5 seconds sooner. Always giving them a good honk, or even just a preemptive honk if do actually flick on indicators, just to be sure they've seen me. I'd rather they go 'what 'iz problem?!', as it means they know I'm there...
To be fair I've never experienced the delights of the East London rush hour - not quite as chaotic up my way.
Btw darrsi, hope you don't do that to old ladies!
Wonder if there's a modification you can do to replicate the sound of a lorry jack-knifing? That would certainly wake up dopey cagers.

What d'ya think they'd prefer, an early dance class or tyre tracks up their back?
Remember, they walk out on me without a care in the world as if they own the road, if i was a BMW car driver busy on my phone whilst smoking a fag and adjusting my radio they wouldn't be so lucky!
I was brought up as a kid with constant advice at school and on tv about crossing roads safely, i can only presume that doesn't happen any more?
I have 2 headlights on, a rumbling exhaust, a hi-viz jacket, and a loud horn to fall back on as a final warning to get the foc out of my way.
Can't do much more than that can i?
