I always do this if I feel the car behind me isn't leaving adequate space. The closer I'm tailgated, the slower I'll maneuver.

If I've got someone up my arse, I like to take my foot off the accelerator and let my speed drop by 10mph if in a 30 zone, and then quickly accelerate back up to about 35 to create space, then repeat until they get the message.

Also, the word "tailgated".

Can't say I'm a fan, but I've heard it in use by the "gavvers", so assume it's fully in the vernacular now.

Just how much space do people need to perform a simple road manoeuvre ?

Yep proper knobheads. Not to mention grown men riding pushbikes on the pavement.

Bloody grey weather, don't mind if it's -4 out there, just let me see the sun or at least be bright! Off to find Huggy and steal his lamp!

Can someone explain what age a person should stop skateboarding, in order to avoid being a knobhead?

I took my kid to the House of Vans last year to their sunday morning skate school. The instructors there patiently helped teach her to ride the shallow transition whilst I went and had a skate round the main park. Feeling like I had my skate legs on, I went fast up the big transition at the end of the park, and landed a huge frontside ollie onto the flat coming down. As I rode off the ramp, there was a load of whooping and hollering and boards being smacked on the floor in appreciation of someone. so I looked round to see who they were congratulating. One of the instructors pointed at me and shouted "We saw that! We saw! That's for you, mate!".

Knobhead or not, you fat f*cks could only dream of having my skills on a skateboard.

No, but I still fail to see why I should stop enjoying skateboarding beyond a certain birthday.
