Default F*ing angry

Followed a Lexus thing through the 60 at 45 miles an hour , no opportunity to overtake as twisty. Got to the straight, loads of room for me to go, couldn't even see a car coming.

The ####ing idiot puts his foot down and drives practically on the central line almost trying to push me over, by the time I got past him there was a car quite close coming towards me (not dangerously so, I don't think he didn't flash or anything).

I'm so angry with the bastard he got the fingers up and the w*nkers sign. I would have liked to stop at the roundabout to ask him politely what he thought he was doing but seeing as I was on my own I didn't think it was a good idea.

Great start to my day

maybe 4x4 also represents length and circumference

There are some real tossers out there. Happens to me occasionally on my route too and from work. The worst one was last week where a wanker in a landrover defender braked hard and swerved violently to the right just as i put my indicators on and started accelerating to overtake him. It was such a violent manouver i thought he'd had a blow out and the landy was about to spin sideways and flip in front of me. The road was wet (though dead straight) and his manouver took me by so much surprise i ended up fishtailing behind him as i stamped on the brakes and started swerving to avoid what i thought was him about to be rolling down the road infront of me.

I would of got his number and reported him to the Police for attempted murder.
Assault with a dangerous weapon.
AT LEAST, dangerous driving.

I suspect he thought he was in the right and he was preventing you from speeding, because HE like far too many f**kwits think that it's a 40 mph limit where you were.

He should be re-educated by the police.
Definitely should be reported.
Of course the "police" have no proof and I'm sure better things to do, like catch someone doing 65 in a 60.

I was thinking that Fletch at the time, but tbh I think I was a bit shocked and very angry. That's never happened to me before

Plus I thought the chances of it getting taken anywhere would be a bit remote without witnesses

No, report it. If anyone else has before or does afterwards it starts to build up a picture and it may well get looked into.

Sounds like a classic case of car envy combined with very poor driving

this is a growing trend, only likely to continue with the current obsession with speed

he'll come a cropper one day. Someone in a car like yours will be able to catch him, pull him over and give him a shoeing or at least frighten the living crap out of him.

this woman in a bm did the same thing to me.. i just scared the living crap out of her by following her for a bit.. a fat bloke in a punto did something similar as well so at the next lights i got out.. he wheelspins through the lights and gets a nice pic taken by the red light camera while narrowly avoiding a bin lorry...

what goes around comes around.
