I get varied responses, but nothing especially bad I don't think.

I suppose people in lower powered cars that try it on think "twat in sports car, I bet I can take him in my oil burner with my superior driving skill".

Sometimes work's on twisties, but not anything straightish.

I do recall a scooby overtaking our convoy on an early jockmeet - he passed me at the front on a blind corner

Something about TDI drivers - some of the mentalist drivers in the South, I stay clear unless I've got a clear overtake.

I had a bad and good reaction last friday evening coming home down the A14 from Cambridge to Huntingdon.

Sitting in the fast lane in heavy traffic (45mph) with roof down an old volvo 9xx estate pulls up to a rizla papers distance to the Micra in the slow lane. I'm happily sandwiched in between a DHL Escort van (front) and a Merc Van (rear) who are both bunched up to me. Then lo and behold Vulva driver decided that I've only got a small car and will move so he pulls his blue rust bucket into the fast lane I stand on brakes and manage to get out of way before he takes half the car apart. Now recovered I apply pressure to the centre of the steering wheel while using my free hand wave impolitely
That was the bad.

The good was that the DHL'r slowed down (front) and the Merc undertook me and we shared the same disgust at the Vulva as he went past. I joined him and we both undertook the Vulva and funny enough it was 2 young 'uns (18 +/- 2yrs) giving me plenty of "want some" gestures. What basically proceeded was that both the DHL'r and the Merc kept me boxed in either fast lane or slow lane and prevented the Vulva from getting near me or any other small car. When my exit approached I dropped to 3rd and with a flash and wave from all parties (except Vulva boys) I screamed off at a highly illegal pace (shaking the adrenalin from the system).

My faith in White Van man is restored
