Angry Flipping corner cutters.

[rant]Isn't it annoying as you approach a junction when a driver turning into your road from the left is occupying most of your side of the road![/rant]

I hope none of us are guilty of this sloppy driving habit

Same.

Otherwise I either let them out, or drive round them. Mostly the latter.

I'll admit to cutting the corner when the road is clear.

The whole width of the road is there to be used. It's up to you how you use it. Sadly, you'll find lots of other who use it agressively. Worse still, some use it arrogantly. even worse, some use it without knowing that it's really dangerous to do so. I can't account for CFW's - they're just there.
