I was overtaken at a pinch point a while ago by a little Skoda, the driver managed to burst / deflate both offside tyres hitting the kerb in the pinch point, completed the overtake and continued off down the road. By the time I turned right into my road I think there were sparks coming from the front wheel.
I regret not following them to see what eventually happened, but it was the end of a long ride and I was knackered.

On Sunday night, driving my family home, I found myself behind a driver who had their iPhone facetiming someone whilst stuck right in the middle of their windscreen. When we stopped at a junction i got out, tapped on her window and asked what the hell she was doing (to my families great embarrassment...) Sadly she ignored me, traffic moved on and I had to follow her for another two miles getting more and more irate. Anyway she is now reported to roadsafe for whatever good it will do
Then a few minutes later I was driving along the M4 contraflow behind a BMW with a flat back Tyre, hmm maybe it's a runflat and there's no hard shoulder thought I, although the tyre was getting more and more shredded. I was relieved when they pulled off at the next junction BUT THEN DROVE OFF AGAIN BY THIS TIME ON THE BARE RIM OF THE WHEEL... I took a different exit from the roundabout so left them to their fate
tl;Dr, people drive like dicks
