Driving past
Bishops in Rondebosch, on Campground Rd, towards Claremont yesterday. There are 3 lanes here.
The left hand lane is reserved for turning off, first into the Silwood Centre, then into Bishops, then, just after the church, for turning left at the traffic lights into Sandown road, which is where I want to go.
So I'm driving in the middle lane past the Bishops turn off, and I notice this woman in a white car a little behind and to my left, happily ignoring the "left turn only" arrows that punctuate that lane. OK, I think, she's close to my blind spot but I know she's there. I indicate to change lanes to the left - well in advance - and speed up a little so I can safely change lanes while keeping her in view.
She's not letting me in though.
The ****ing bitch starts hooting and speeds up to try to draw parallel with me. Now the distance from me to the traffic lights is getting smaller and smaller, and this retard is going faster and faster, leaving me nothing to do except hit the brakes and slow down, then change lanes behind her. Then we both had to stop at the traffic lights, so obtained no advantage whatsoever.
It is not *that* big a deal, but really - when someone is ahead of you, obviously trying to change into your lane and has been indicating that they wish to do so for at least 10 seconds... then you do not hoot and speed up. You let them in.
