BMW driver made the mistake of handing the Focus driver his business card and admitted it was a company car.
I provided the helpful idea of contacting his HR department and raising with them how drivers like that kill people and shouldn't the company take a tough and responsible line with 'their' employees in 'their' cars. Not good advertising is it ?
That call is being made now (
)...Oops......me and my big mouth

Matches anyone ?
Dual carriageways, a reducing amount of single carriageways, an increasing amount of arnco and roadworks, roundabouts and bends. Between 5.30 pm and 7.00 pm it becomes a racetrack for frustrated workers, reps, et al. Their chill out time and anger management time between work and home. Adrenaline can flow and every workday evening it becomes a dangerous outlet for aggression.
Is it a coincidence that this road is between police authorities and is distanced from both?

i have a bmw diesel estate and i like to leave pleeenty of room so there.
so does buying an s turn you into some sort of driving god because one would think so from the posts on here - well except for the numerous ones where someone describes their latest race on the public road. hmmm.
on the subject of overtaking and then looking a right tool, i had a puma some years ago, very early one morning, the day after it had been serviced, i overtook a dawdling audi on a long straight, just pulled in when BANG something hit the underside of the car and in the mirror all i could see was a huge smoke cloud. the sump plug that the ford grease monkey hadn't tightened had worked loose, dropped out and deposited the contents of my sump onto a hot exhaust! lovely smoke trail - looked like i'd been shot down like in those battle of britain films. as i pulled over i couldn't bring myself to make eye contact with the passing audi driver...

good to know there are some sensible drivers out there. This story is a funny one, sounds like the bloke was driving dangerously for the conditions. ying, yang.
