I remember following a car over Alston fell which is a good climb and they braked on every bend

If you dont know the road, slowing down when you shouldnt is probably better than not slowng down when you should....

The flashing to say "pull in" is an a good practice utterly ruined by drivers who dont have a scooby about the 2-second rule.
How to be an utter bellend in a white van | The Daily Mash
IF you’ve got a Ford Transit and a bad attitude, you probably want to assert your authority over other road users. Here’s how to go about it.
Get the look
The classic white van man look is a t-shirt or polo shirt straining at the gut and a shaved head, but don’t worry about the details. The main thing is always looking as if you’re about to kick the **** out of someone or have a coronary.
Get the language
Have an arsenal of obscenities ready for frequent use. ‘****’, ‘bastard’, ‘******’ and the C-word are all excellent. Don’t go getting all creative and shout “You vacillating illegitimate simpleton!”. It will just get lost in the noise of the traffic. Remember to swear at everything – not just bad drivers or dozy pedestrians, but also grannies taking too long on a zebra crossing and pigeons.
Get the driving style
Much as Formula 1 drivers know how to follow the racing line, white van drivers have their own special set of driving skills, including:
● How to drive right up people’s arses without actually crashing into them, hopefully;
● Matching people’s speeds so they can’t get out of their lane;
● Following someone for miles after a minor driving infraction in a threatening and probably illegal way.
Get the body language
Even on a stress-free journey in light traffic it’s important to have a permanent scowl and gesticulate angrily all the time, even if the only thing annoying you is finishing off your Twix.
Get the fame
Appear in national media by psychotically threatening another driver or a cyclist. It’s like being the star of your own movie, but with dash cam footage on the Daily Mail website.

People who drive their trollies in an inconsiderate way or stop next to another trolly so nobody can pass. I want to ask them - would you park your car like that?

I would like to see road laws amended so as we can bump each others vehicles out of the way in the same style as we can bump another supermarket trolley out of the way - may be someone could invent something like a 'bumper' to fit on cars. Providing a collision is below 5mph then it should be all fair game.
That would only mean thousands of whiplash claims, like the driver I reversed into a year ago and didn't even feel it!

If I encounter a trolley which some b-end has abandoned while they go off without it to fetch another item I like to move it 2-3 aisles away. Sometimes Ill take things out of it if I want them - I mean, its been abandoned, hasnt it?
Drivers who amble along dual carriageways in the right hand lane well under the speed limit, forcing you to undertake them to get past.
I'm off down to the super market pick up the groceries
They will need to make the parking spaces a touch wider... Mind you most could park underneath that..
