Or do what I do and just slow down!!

Some muppet in his Jag came belting up behind me in the town where my parents live, which has a 30 limit through it and he started with the flashing headlights, sitting on the bumper.

Me, I changed down to first and sat at 5mph. :twisted:

I get them when i am in my truck i just stick to the speed limit and sit on the white line normally they are that close behind me all i can see is the edge of the wingmirror and with me on the white lines it means they have to go over the white lines to see passed me which is great fun when there is another truck coming the other way :shock:

There is however the opposite side to this story too.

On my way into work yesterday it is a 15minute commute. a 30mph speed limit for the village area, 60mph for 10mins along a not very windey a road that can easily be done at 70mph if your not careful and then a 30mph for the last few minutes. Yesterday I was stuck behind some tit doing 45mph in the 60 zone and 20mph in the 30zone. If this was at 8:30 am I would have said fair enough there are lots of cars around but it wasnt. It was at 6:30am. I saw about 6 other cars the whole journey and they were on the straight bits where I could have overtaken. Grrr.

As much as I hate people sitting on my bumper but if people go stupidly slow when there is no need I sometimes sit on thier bumper. I was told by my driving instructor 7 years ago to cruise at the speed limit where safe to do so.

Also I am noticing that more and more people like to overtake when they can see 20cars are infront of me and to overtake me it will gain them 1 car breaking distance. WHY?????

I had a transit van do this to me on Monday morning and he obviously didnt see the car about to come round the corner so I floored it so he could get in behind again, as soon as that car had passed he had another go before a tight corner. This time he passed me and just pulled infront of me nearly clipping my car and then he had to go on the other side of the road to get round the next corner due to his speed he had just used to overtake me!!!!

There seems to be more and more muppets out on the roads these days.

Range Rover Blues:
Like I tell my pupils, "see why I drive a Range Rover".

If you think the useless ********* ****** ****** are bad now, try driving along with some L plates on.

Compulsory retesting, it's the only answer.  there aren't enough coppers about to catch the b****s so they need to be taken off the road until they can prove they are fit to retain their licence.

blackbob:
dont think Compulsory test is the ansewer but a refresher lesson every few years might work or advance driving course for all would help
