This sums it up pretty well.

The former are doing it on purpose, the latter just can't help it.

M25 at night in the 4-lane sections is a case in point. Many sit in lane 3 at about 60mph, with a couple of cars gap to the car in front.

Meanwhile, I "undertake" them all in lane 1...

 

Happens on the M56 & M6 every night, without fail.

I've noticed that past 8pm, the M6 "speeds up". Like silly speeds (+100 or around that) so, we all know that these days, its a matter of time when you're reeled in for a talking to/ticket. Always the same rep mobiles or Audi Q5's gunning it to get back home.

Rear mounted cameras that show aggressive tailgating should be able to be used as evidence against said dickwads in dervs.

Exige's are best played with in the hills anyway, if its safe to do so. On the DC - really, you are just a ford focus like everyone else with pedestrians about and other hazards.

 

I completely agree. I was being prestered by a cock and a dc is the last place I wanted to be in that car.

 

I have had this happen to me a few times now whilst I have been on the bike on a DC. Me overtaking vehicles, car in front of me so I can't go anywhere till it gets out of the way and a c*nt on my back wheel so close I could see the whites of his eys and he is flashing his lights. Had the car in front of me braked hard for whatever reason I had time to react as I had left space but the kn0b behind me would have wiped me out.

Sometimes I have found the safest thing to do if you can't immediately pull over to get the c*nt off your back wheel is to open the throttle to create space & then pull over & back off - not ideal I know, but I would rather do that than get knocked off

 

thats what i do...drop a couple of cogs,3 second burst and then pull in and slow down again

 

People driving aggressively annoys me in a car

When on a bike i used to far too regularly offer such idiots the chance to step out of their RR/X5 or other such twatmobile

 

Problem with that ( on a bike ) is that you are really easy to knock off balance until you are off the bike and once you are off, encumbered with clumpy bike gear. People are getting more aggressive at this time of year, stresses of a year at work / relationship issues / skint buying presents - best to just avoid them and not be the straw that spills their emotional haystack.

 

Er , " out side lane" " over taking lane," where are they then ? Or are they perchance lane 2,3 or 4 !

Yep it seems to me a clam tablet is the way to go, and follow at a discrete distance from the clearly un hinged or deluded person because you can never tell who's driving be it a plod or a loon .


It was funny today in Central London , not.sure what was happening but virtually every junction there was a copper or 2, was really nice to see the loony cyclists having their wings clipped

 

Yes, I do dig a nice clam.

Sorry - took me an unduly long time to work that out and now I cannot stop laughing.

 

ISIS have been a bit active in other countries and i think the Police are on a higher alert than usual.
