You appear to be taking a one sided view of co-operation and understanding.
The drivers behaviour was illegal.
The drivers behaviour was unnecessary.
If they showed understanding, then it's a strange form of understanding and they showed no co-operation to other drivers and as such were, as I and the Highway Code says, inconsiderate.
Wrong. They were breaking the law. I suggest you read the Highway Code and-or the law, it might prevent you from acting in a similarly inconsiderate manner.
Road Traffic Act 1988 -
"3. If a person drives a motor vehicle on a road without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road, he is guilty of an offence."
Highway Code -
"122: You MUST NOT
- drive dangerously - drive without due care and attention - drive without reasonable consideration for other road users.
Law RTA 1988 sects 2 & 3 as amended by RTA 1991"
Which doesn't explain why they allowed to ignore the law and drive inconsiderately.
Which doesn't explain why they allowed to ignore the law and drive inconsiderately.
An equally valid response is to sound your horn, as the op did -
"92: The horn. Use only while your vehicle is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence."
