People who cannot do a decent and compelling presentation (in a business meeting) and who you just want to shout "Sit down, you are about as interesting to the people in this room as mouldy yoghurt, you useless Wa**ker!" Discovery 4 HSE

People who slam the brakes on down to 35mph when they see a highways agency Shogun doing 45 on the A1, just in case, yes you stupid old git, that's why I blasted the horn at you after narrowly missing the back of your car. Fully laden Vivaro's take longer to stop than a new Korean with its ABS, ESP, EBD etc. before anyone says I was following too close, I left an ample gap, just you don't expect someone to half their speed! 2006 Mercedes CLS

Fact is you are keeping too close, the whole point is nobody expects somebody to slow or stop quickly in an emergency. Learn before you wipe somebody out or get wiped out yourself.

Are you retared? Did you actually read what I wrote? I was leaving a large gap, (more than the 2 second rule) the fact is, he must have literally hit the brake pedal as hard as possible, despite the AMPLE GAP I left, trying to outbreak something in a 2t+ van with no ABS wasn't going to end well, especially with thinking time reducing actual braking distance, no matter how careful you are, idiots like that would have caught anyone out so dont go making assumtions that im going to "wipe someone out" giving the impression I'm a careless driver. I dare say anyone in that same prediciment regardless of following distance would have had a near miss. 2006 Mercedes CLS

No I'm not retarded, however I spend much of my working life cutting people out of wrecked cars. Most of these people probably assumed they were driving correctly at the time. Incidentally the horn is to warn people not show frustration. No longer FF owner but still interested. Present car Jaguar XE

I was making him aware of my presence, hence the horn. Either way, I didn't hit him so no worries, notch it up to experience. 2006 Mercedes CLS

Sounds more like an angry driver to me. I'm not trying to be a smart arse but at the end of the day it is vital to always be aware that anything can happen ahead. I have been a firefighter for over 23 years and have not seen a fire engine drive into the back of a car, considering they are often being driven under very stressful conditions and other drivers are liable to do very unexpected things when they see blue lights behind. The idea is to try to think ahead at all times. Not having a go just saying how things can happen.
