A MAN believes the roads of the UK are packed with swearing, gesticulating red-faced motorists as he encounters so many every single day.
Sedate, careful motorist Roy Hobbs, aged 67, makes several unnecessary journeys a day to a background of horns, shouts of ‘f**k off’ and hand movements indicating he is a wanker, as he assumes are everyone else’s.
He said: “Honestly, put a normal person with a placid disposition behind the wheel and they become a maniac. I wasn’t even going fast. 23mph and I know for a fact the limit’s 50.
“if it’s not the horn it’s flashing the lights or screaming something unintelligible out of the window as they go past. They want to watch their blood pressure if they’re reacting like that to someone who’s innocently reversing on a roundabout after missing their exit.
“What’s making today’s drivers so angry? It’s not like in 1972, when I passed my test in the Austin Allegro after a nerve-calming three pints of bitter. They’re all so volatile, doing emergency stops every time you pull out, beeping like crazy at traffic lights and waking me up.
“There must be loads of road rage fights. I haven’t got in any because I’m a peaceable individual but I’m always seeing someone chasing me screaming abuse and waving a Crooklock in my rear view mirror. I stay out of it.”
Fellow motorist Donna Sheridan said: “Poor Roy, innocently wandering roads packed with the perpetually furious, known to them all as ‘that f**king twat’.”
