A couple of days ago I'm driving down a fairly busy road about to turn
left into a side road. As I'm doing so two ladys step into the side
road with their pushchairs, they see me and try to hurry up a bit but
not quick enough to cross the road without me having to stop. I wasn't
in a hurry so I waited for them to cross. As I'm doing so a car pulls
up behind me and beeps the horn, at me I'm assuming. Presumably I was
supposed to drive over into the pedestrians?

Today I approach a queue of traffic and I stop about two car lengths
from the car in front. I do this because just on the left there is a
side road and any cars coming from the opposite direction that wanted
to turn would be blocked by me and hence all the cars behind.

Am I doing anything wrong in these examples or are there just too many
idiots on the road?

Idiots.

I went to overtake a car which was following another without making any
attempt to overtake it. As soon as the nose of mine was past the rear
of his, sure enough he just pulls out without even looking. I merely
pointed at my mirror and you should have seen the reaction from the
bloke..

And this was from a balding white haired bloke.

I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

Try being that considerate in the centre of London...If you are not moving
as soon as the green light drops someone will get on the hooter. I have had
other drivers nudge my bumper if i'm unnecessarily stationary more than a
couple of seconds!

The thing to do in such an event is to stop the car, get out and
inspect the non-existent damage. That'll slow them down.
