Why is it that people continually try to push through a gap, on the road, when it is not their right of way?

Today I was pondering this when I was driving along and had the right of way.  There were 2 vehicles parked on the opposite side of the road to me, and space for one car to pull into to let me through.  I wait and wait and wait as everyone keeps on pushing through, then I go, as I am well entitled to and the car coming towards me, pulls into the gap.  No problem there, so we thought, until the car behind the one facing me, continued to come forwards, while the driver was looking to his right, then he turned to face the direction in which he was travelling.  Screetch of brakes and one almighty bang as he drove into the back of the first car!!!!!!!!

Now, both the other drivers were men, and luckily I am no shrinking violet, as quite a few of you know!!!!!!  Initially the first car, tried to blame me, until I pointed out it was my right of way, and he was not in the wrong either, as he had pulled in, as he should! He then agreed with me - well he had no choice - I was right. The driver behind him could only say "I couldn't see!".  My reply was, while trying not to laugh, well if you looked in the direction in which you were travelling, you would have seen, because I was watching you!

My car is fine.  Car no. 1 has a bent back bumper.  Car no. 2 has smashed lights and a very bent front bumper too!

Moral of the story - don't push through gaps that are not yours to go through, and, WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING.  :wink:
