or the plonker doing 52 in the 'slow' lane that suddenly accelerates to 70 when you try and pass them - only to slow down again a mile uop the road!!
Or my personal favourite - the Chav who thinks that HIS corsa/nova/106/saxo rust bucket is going to win in a contest to see who will let him in when hes in the cross hatching or when he suddennly realises that the roadworks signs and lane closed signs that have been flashing for the last 3 miles actualy mean it!!!!!!
Lost count of the number of mirrors I have 'scalped' in the last few years by people trying to barge in!!

Perhaps you could "scalp" a few more of them on the one way system in Stockton.
Riverside roundabout is another good place.

Hmm, yet you complained about suffering from a tired gearbox. Not the way to help keep the mechanicals going that bit longer now is it? :wink:

its tired, but works fine... knackered synchro on 2nd and a bit of wear! i dont "complain" about it, it just needs some new parts throwing in :P or a replacement... whichever comes first. its stood up well to 178k-ish AND my driving pretty well, which to be fair is pretty harsh on it sometimes.
people dont like us passing them without a caravan iain, nevermind with one! you're right too... always try to pass you again in the most awkward place. i just pass them again ;) winds them right up.
im a considerate driver too... i wouldnt say defensive as such... actually i wouldnt say defensive at all........ but i do make a point of considering other road users. some just deserve to be ignored though!
on the subject of not indicating, we followed a police estate the other day at about 25ish mph down EVERY road including the 50mph straights, and he didnt indicate on a single corner or island. really makes you feel stupid that!
Range Rover Blues:
Just think how *%£#*!* off you'd be if this happened to you in a Micra.
The other week I moved a car for DiscoMummy and on the way back some tool in a minubus decided he wanted my lane, and the best way to get it was to bully me (in a Range Rover) and generaly threaten my nice shiny paintwork.
As I had a car trailer on, which I recon he hadn't seen i couldn't move overm there was a car alongside the trailer, so I shot forewards, to whicj he resonded by nipping in behind.
Well he'd threatened my pride and joy, so I swipped him good and hard with the trailer once he'd hit it.
When we got out to swap details I think his mood chaged a lot, when he realised I was just as yall without the Range Rover underneath me.
But as I always say, compulsory retesting, it's got to happen sooner or latter.

Couldn't agree more...I have found a solution though...
Drive a battered 110 with good tree sliders, winch bumper & large tyres...then...here's the easiest bit...drive like they do :shock: they soon get the message...I have a nice Black Audi A4 Estate scratch on the N/S/R corner that makes me chuckle...but that's another story!!
Oh...the tree sliders are excellent for car parks when someone decides there door need to be opened as hard as it can against yours. :lol: :wink: :twisted:
