nose-gating

The act of driving slowly in front of someone, often preceded by cutting them up at a junction.

The nose-gater ususally drives at around 24.5 in a 30 zone. This can be due to a number of reasons:excessively new car (worried that air friction may scratch paintwork); old age (can't see, reaction speed gone); kids in car (irrational spawn-protecting behaviour); Micra driver (inexplicable) etc..

The opposite of tail-gating. Especially prevalent when you are trying to get somewhere in a hurry.

blind-gating

Staying in someone's blind spot for a really long time while driving.
Instead of passing me cleanly, the dude was just blind-gating. Luckily, I had my mirrors set up so I could see him.

Another way of saying "taken" (as in a relationship). Can be said by either gender.
