Im trying to impress upon you, the amount of accidents you have are not normal, by any means. This points to something amiss.
And if you are utterly truthful, how often can it be someone else's fault?
Ok, ignore the fact I dont like you. Ignore everything else. Just look at the sheer number of incidents, accidents, and road rage you have encountered. Please acknowlage thats not normal??
But then dont listen to me, listen to other members, like SSV2, Madmoggie, IG, etc.
All of which have vastly more expirence, and are trying to help. And even Botach has noticed you have an odd number of..err...incidents.
By the way:

I have to admit.. me.. my lovely Wildy
wife who are not formally "police trained" .. but have been educated by IG
and even IG himself are a bit worried by Squirrel's consistent escapades.
Sure we all meet numpties .. but we diffuse their danger by using our COAST.
Oh why we keep on with it on PH and here..
because it works and I know DIS and Speed Awares mark on this criteria. Now I admit I do not agree with speed cam logic in invite to latter programme. - but I will concede that the rubric of that course is sound in its basic intention. I admit we have some issues on fair play practice here and I think the DIS which is POLICE recommend only .. based on THEIR judgement has a more superiorly cutting edge Now Squirrel.. we are supporting and wanting to help you here. But we say we have to evaluate each drive.
So.. please do not think I am trying to be
:teacher: or whatever.
Trying to help here.
Think objectively. How did whatever you did affect the other person.. affect your your handling/feel of car/situation? Work out for yourself .. how you may handle better.. improve on your skills.
As you do so.. you gain.. .. gain in expertise . confindence in being able to judge developping dangers .. and thus diffuse.. with a bonus of a "feel good-ishly contented" about suriviving a hazard
We all understand you . but we think you need to think just a bit more here and we recommend you read Road Craft.. AA "Improve Your Skills" AND any work penned by Peter Amey /Paul Ripley
Good practice which we should all look up to.
It may well be that you live in some suburban hell hole of numpty galores.
If so.. you have my sympathy .. but I still suggest using stricter COAST to help you out here
.
Let us know how things pan out for you. If we can help more.. just ask us. I am not judging you. I just wonder why you have so much grief here ..
Cheers
