Road Rage

Is it just me, or are the roads filling up with more and more with dickheads?
Tonight, for instance, when I took my daughter back to her mothers' after her regular visit, I pulled in to let a car come through because it had right of way...and the dickhead behind me decided to overtake me! God, it's a horrible thing to say, but when you see these people you just hope they hit a tree.
And what's this thing where people drive around with their foglights on when the roads are absolutely clear? Do they think it makes them look cool? To right-minded people they just look like nobs.
Oh, and an even better one is when people drive around with their foglights on because they think this compensates for the fact that one of their headlights isn't working. Oh yes, of course, that makes it all right doesn't it. Just like the guy who flashes money in night clubs to try to compensate for the fact that he's an ugly bastard.
Indicators - those flashing yellow lights that tell other road-users what you're going to do. Fewer and fewer people are using them. What - are we expected to guess what they're planning to do? How annoying is it when you're waiting at a roundabout and you stop because a car's coming up to the right exit, and then it suddenly turns off without any indication whatsoever? Aaaargh! Why don't you pull over and let me smash your indicators - you obviously don't need them because you don't use the buggers.
My final complaint concerns manners, those little things that cost nothing yet so few road-users seem to have them anymore. It's like when you pull over to let someone pass and they don't thank you. You feel like saying, "Yes, mate. My bloody pleasure. Enjoy the rest of your journey...and please don't get rear-ended by an articulated lorry."
I'm sorry for complaining, but driving can be stressful enough - especially in rush-hour traffic - so the last thing you need is these vehicular morons making it worse. There should be a new offence created - "just generally being a twat on the road" - to deal with them.
