To the fool in the black Rover behind me this morning....

(1/7) > >>

Thrasher:
Please be aware that if I am travelling at 50mph in a 70mph zone it is probably because I'm BEHIND something else that is going slowly. If you hadn't been so close to me that I could only just see your roof you *may* have spotted the traffic ahead of me. No amount of light flashing (hard for me to see actually when you are about 6" off my tow bar...) and beeping of your horn will speed me up or make me move.

It was encourging to see that when the obstruction had moved aside after carrying out its passing manouver you hadn't the power or acceleration to carry out the threatened out acceleration of the big black tank in front of you.

When you eventually, and I do mean eventually, passed me (I was only doing the speed limit) and gave me some rather pointed hand signals was it because you were embarrased at being made to look stupid, or because you thought you owned the road?

Maybe next time I see you pelting up behind me, I'll just sit at 60mph to see if your lights and horn are still working. Call it a little favour, a sort of pre-MOT check  :twisted:

It must be a day for it today then!

Why do some people have to be so arrogant in there driving style? I had some pillock in a silver range rover pull out on me on a traffic island in Hertford this morning! Next time i might just speed up a little and give you a loving nudge with my rather large winch bumper :evil:

Just because some people can afford big luxury 4x4's surley this does not give them the right to drive like complete idiots?

Thrasher,

Next time just ease of a little, it will wind them up all the more  ;)

Cheers

Considering I was in this ....



I think I can prove that, at least for me, one RR driver doesn't always drive like a complete idiot  :D

I hope you didnt misunderstand me, I was not implying all owners of large luxury 4x4's were idiots, just a select few  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Like the one that pulled out on me, and i was in this




But the idiot still pulled out infront of me  :roll: :roll: :roll:

Its these type of 4x4 drivers that give us all a bad name on the roads  :evil: :evil: :evil:

Cheers

Yes, I get the same thing, they think big=slow and dont think about wahts in front. Had a serious case of this in a BIG hired van when moving stuff, bloke tail gated me as I was overtaking but had a slower car in front as well, then he pulled inside to undertake and nearly hit the car I was overtaking.

There have been a number of times when I have had to "control the road" ( and I dont meand being a "road captin" and blocking, I mean balencing speed, braking, position etc)  in order to make people avoid accidents they seem intent on having, every now and again I have the desire the let them carry on and crash, unfortunatley its not fair on thier passengers/other road users so I do the nice thing
