    Hypothetically, when squeezing between a lorry and a Volvo
    and accidentally brushing mirrors with the Volvo,
    is it best to:

    a) Swap insurance details.
    b) Pretend it never happened and bugger off at high speed.
    c) Stop and apologise.
    d) Stop and suggest that the Volvo driver leaves more room in future.

    e) Take an axe to the Volvo driver's head. He's probably had it coming for
    the last 20 years.

    Depends if said Volvo has jam sandwich or Battenburg cake decals on the
    sides, doesn't it?

    Heh. In seriousness though, I tend to slow down and give a quick wave
    to say sorry.

    The number and type of fingers I would display depends entirely on the
    reaction of the volvo driver.

    If he shouts and causes a fuss I would display my middle finger at full
    extension while buggering off at high speed
    If he gives me a dirty look I would display my middle finger at full
    extension while buggering off at high speed
    If he deliberatly tried to race me and cause me trouble and danger I would
    display my middle finger at full extension while buggering off at high speed
    In fact the only time he would get another recation is :-

    If he didnt notice and I would pretend not to notice or
    If he did notice but didnt seem to mind I would wave at him appologetically
    (if thats possible)

    Did you notice I FUCKING HATE CARS

  13. A combination of b and c. I'd not bother stopping though if it really
    was just a brush. If there had been a really big clank, I'd stop
    directly next to him/her and say to pull over and get my details then
    bugger off in the other direction at high speed.
