At a set of traffic lights left lane going straight on, right lane turning right into Surrey Quays shopping centre. I shift lanes to the right and stop behind stationary car in front and am sitting patiently in the middle of lane with lights at red.
I hear a car pull up behind me and then someone gets on their horn. I ignore the first two or three blasts but then turn around and see its the bird in the car behind me frothing at the mouth and slamming her hand on the horn pointing at me (lights are still red). I turn around and ride back to her window to see whats up which she rolls down shouting
"Get out of the way, get out the fucking way"
Me "What?"
She "Why don't you read the Road Traffic Act!!"
Me "Prefer the Highway Code but whats your point?"
She "You should get out of my way!"
Me "Okayyy"
Returned to my place in front of her in queue of traffic and as lights turned green performed slowest laziest right turn whilst madam gave herself an aneurysm trying to get past my zig-zagging fat arse.
My first properly fucking mental driver incident.
