WTF Lol?

Post by matt_mr2t »

Was on the M2 last night doing "some" miles per hour.

Headlights in my rear, so I eased forward a bit, they come back up when I eased off.
So I eased forward again.
I dont like people on my bumper.
Back he came.

At this point I though, go away you annoying person, so I nailed it a bit.
Gap got bigger and bigger but I was going too fast so I eased off.
Up he comes again. He was like a yapping Yorkie Terrier that thinks it's big time but it's not.

I sped up again, but then hit traffic so had to back down. He then spotted a gap so UNDERCUT me, through 3 lanes of traffic just in a pittiful attempt to pass me. At this point I also saw what it was for the first time.
A people carrier - a sodding people carrier!

What the hell was he thinking driving like that in a barge!!!

We then hit 50mph works with average speed camera's. I slowed off to 50, but saw him weaving through traffic at at least 70mph
Hopefully the stupid dangerous xxxx got caught.

The amount of times ive been tail gated by a people carry of stuck behind one in the over taking lane who refuses to pull in even though there flat out and cant go any faster.

You have a big family deal with it, i bet it was a espace aswell, always is.

Thing is, he couldnt match me, he was just desperate to pass me. Probably had a complex. In the end it took a dangerous manouvre to get get past.


Edited to say "past" not passed!

My theory is that blokes driving people carriers are all angry because their wife made them buy it. This anger is expressed in the form of 'driving like a t**t'.

For future reference if you have someone tailgating you don't speed up or boot it, it could be undercover police, they are known to do this to bait you into breaking the sped limit.

I've heard that too.
It's a pain in the ass isnt it.

Shouldnt be allowed to have plain cars IMO, or at least they shouldnt be allowed to nick drivers.

Sounds like you were just going slower than he wanted to?
If you sped up and then eased back off to your previous speed maybe that's why he wanted to get past?? If that makes sense... 8-[

Ive had a marked police car come right behind me at night with his lights off :shock: I didnt see him till it was too late and he bolloked me for speeding doh! Wouldn't mind but it was 2am and the road was empty, didn't give me a ticket so I suppose thats something to be thankful for but didn't like his tactics.

If any of you drive on the M5 or M23 watch out for those Cluntstables in their new Octavia vRS plain marked and the four I've seen are in Silver with subtle blue lights (grill and front wings)...but the x26 aerials on the roof give them away...but by the time you noticed those you're already nicked.

I bet Essex coppa's will be getting Zafira VXR's next...watch out :-$

Not being funny, but why didn't you just pull out of the outside lane and let them past? Surely there is nothing more annoying than someone who won't let you past.

He was never in any danger of passing me until I hit a build up of traffic.

i was thinking that too.

tbh.. i sometimes get stuck behind peeps doing like 25mph and frustrates me :mad: if they have so much time why don't they pull in, slow down and let you let you overtake (I feel rude overtaking without an invite)

But still why hog the outside lane as if you have a point to prove?

I would have undertaken you without hesitation if you were holding me up.

Nice

I like to think the following, " they most probably have a family emergency!! Kids ill or something"

That takes away the 'grr' factor as if I had kids and something was up, or with the partner, I'd boot it home asap
