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

If you want really spectacular cases try a big motorhome. You either get the sort that pull out then find to their surprise that in front of the 22ft Hymer is a little noddy car doing 45mph for no apparent reason, or the really amusing ones. Usually these are white vans that pull out on hillclimbs, then find that they can't outdrag you.  :twisted:

The ones that really get me are those that overtake me coming out of a 30mph limit, then proceed to settle down to 56mph. I would have been doing 60 in another few seconds...

I love it when they try that with me and wonder why they are currently trying to pass nothing, and their "target" is somewhat further forward on the road than they anticipated ;-)

Big does not always = slow. Learn to read and possibly you might understand what either SUPERCHARGED (on one of them) or 4.6ES (on t'other) means ;-)

I still chuckle thinking about the Ferrari owner who tried to cut me up from some lights because he was in the wrong lane, he was looking over with that "Ah easy - I'll just out accelerate him and nip into his lane" look. Amber light, sports mode - boot it. Ferrari attempts to cut up ..... my caravan. The look on his face was classic. So beware - big car + 21 foot caravan does not = slow either ;-) I did of course only accelerate to 60mph (as we were on dual carraigeway) - and it was at this point he pulled out from behind me, drew level, gave me that "I've got a Ferrari" look and booted it - and nearly took out the mini that was doing 70mph in front of him. Numpty.

Indeed it must be a day for it,

Travelling down a main road, i wanted to turn right to go to my destination, the VOLVO 4x4 driver infront who is keeping up with her neighbours surname also was going the same route.

Lo and behold what did she do, tried a complete U turn in the junction, leaving my bonnet a couple of inches from her drivers door,

We were sat there for about 5 minutes with cars behind me sat in the road in the path of oncoming hgv's and a bus,while she attempted the 5 point U turn,

Rant over !!! why didnt she just continue & turn round somewhere suitable, beats me ! :roll: :-#

Cheers
