What puzzles me about driving a car is that although I am normally one of the most impatient people alive, I get the opposite of road rage. Once I'm behind the wheel, music on, cigarette in hand*, a strange inner peace descends over me, which insulates me against all but the very worst 'traffic calming measures' that e.g. the London Borough of Waltham Forest** can throw at me.
* I'm not sure if this is still legal. It will certainly take the fun out of it when they ban it. I open the windows if the kids are in the car, honest.
** It's a good job I live out in Essex now.

Drivers who fail to signal when turning off a roundabout deserve to be beaten to death with a bottle. In my opinion!
They've turned off the traffic lights off at the A1089 which has drastically improved traffic flow.
Moved to Essex eh? With you, me and OH living here, it is turning into a bloggers' paradise.
RCN, I am a considerate raod user and always indicate. But I have a sense of humour so I sometiems indicate right before I turn off.
MA, turning them off nearly always improves traffic flow. It's heaven (relatively speaking) once you're past the Green Man though.

Aha! <>You're<> the one! (or twenty, actually, in my neck of the woods...). ;)
