I have to sympathise with you, zeropoint, and I am afraid that I am an offender in this respect. The thing is, if I know that I am going to be stuck behind the vehicle in front for up to ten minutes I try to position my car a) so that I'm not breathing in his exhaust fumes and b) so that I am not blinded by his three, very bright, stop lights.
In my area there are a number of swing bridges and level crossings where we can be held up for as long as ten minutes. Locals know this, but they still sit there with their engines running and their foot glued to the footbrake, so the rest of us have to take the necessary evasive action. What is wrong with the parking brake?
