tapping on the steering-wheel, he starts wondering whether to
change lane.... starts muttering under his breath.... sounds

is that of a *bad* driver. Sadly there are plenty of them about, but some
people do have the attitude and confidence to be able to control their
vehicles properly.

Why not? Constructive criticism is the first step towards improvement.

I meant, I wouldn't say it on the newsgroup. What I may or may not say
