Driving nightmare today

RE: Driving nightmare today
I have been driving for a good number of years. You should not assume that my record is squeaky clean in this department. The present vehicle that I run was purchased about 3 and a bit years ago and fits the bill for our requirements.
However, since I have had said car I have come up against some peculiar driving with regard to my fellow motorists - nearly being forced off the road, had a fellow motorist hammering on my drivers door in a traffic queue, horn abuse, rude gestures...I could go on. None of this is in the Highway Code, or at least it was not the last time I looked.
I get the impression that learner drivers are taught to pass the 'driving test' but they do not know how to drive!!
One such 'confrontation' prompted me to purchase and install cameras, front and rear, to record everything that goes on. Since then not much to report apart from one individual who gave me the works a few days ago, he then spied one of the cameras and suddenly turned off the main road to get away from further recording of his activities. Most drivers notice the camera in the rear and keep a respectable distance. Peace and tranquility has mostly returned. The big bonus is that the driving standard of those around me has improved a lot too.
Since the camera installation I have been informed by one of my neighbours that he has had to do exactly the same - but did it a few months earlier than me.
As for 'crimbo' I think that this will be a non event vehicle wise again this year and we will keep far from the maddening crowds.
