difference in driving attitudes

HI,
my pet hate - the 40 mile an hour driver - no matter what the speed limit, road conditions etc - had one of these this morning, i overtook him on the 60 mph section and he caught up in the 30 mph sections and had the nerve to flash and try to rear end me :shock: he was in some daihatsu midget car and i was in the disco :?
regards

I would have stamped on the brakes & re-arranged his car with my tow hitch...would have been there fault in the eyes of the law too :lol:

as an everyday car i drive a mondeo diesel and to be quite honest i am often treated as a second class citizen "A WOMAN ON A MOTORWAY" how dare she?" i am often undertaken, forced into the central reservation, flashed out of a lane and even cut up, but this is ok as it is obvious i am a woman driver, as i have a scooby-doo and a sylvester on the parcel shelf, however i am never under the speed limit unless traffic dictates as i have to get to work just the same as everybody else.
However, occasionally, as circumstances dictate i have to make the same journey in the disco, which i have to admit causes further hazards for a lone female driver (night or day ) who apparently has "no right to be on the M62 whatever the circumstances, least of all in a gas guzzling 4x4 landrover." especially not traveling at the same speed as they in the 4th lane.
Unless the inconsiderate driver trying to race, undertake, force, said disco into central reservation or under nearest artic happens to take a sideways glance and spot the the sparkling white, royal blue trimmed nurses uniform, treatment is always same as poor underclass mondeo.
then miracculously, it is as if a magic fairy has waved a wand , said eejit drops back flashes you into an appropriate sized space and mirraculously takes on the role, even if on a temprory basis as male protector completely unaware that not 24 hours previously he has tried desperately to kill the same nurse in a silver mondeo for even daring to consider to overtake him in the 4th lane, by trying to intimidate and force her into the nearest famers field or reservoir.
my point being that, unfortunately if you are a female driver you take you life into your own hands by even dareing to have a job in which you have to drive any distance, regardless as to what vehicle you drive, unless of course you have a respectable uniform in which you want wear while driving on the motorway, purely to enhance your chances of survival on route to work or any other pleasurable place you wish to visit without a male driver.

A mate of min used to drive around with a policemans cap, stolen from his kids bedroom, a a high vis jacket on his parcel shelf,...never had any bother whilst being followed on the motorway :twisted:

No you are likely to be done for dangerous driving.
Which means at min: 2 year driving Ban a retake of your test £1000 fine.
You have to have a good reason for doing an emergency stop nowadays, I know from Experience.
Be aware of making comments like that on the forum it could be used against you.
I agree with 40mph brigade. How is it these people can find it safe to drive at 40mph in town when they are incapable of traveling at the speed limit when in open country and is safe to do so.
