I was followed by a complete c0ck on the M62 on Friday night in a chaved up Type R. I was overtaking in the outside lane, steady flow of traffic and not wanting to tailgate the car in front I hung back but this idiot just raced up to me and sat on my arse so tight that I couldn't see his headlights.

Didn't brake test him just decided to wash my windows and headlights profusely and he hung back for a short second then came back. When I finally had a chance to move over I have to admit to giving him the internationally recognised sign of 'you have a very small penis' and he showed me how great his phallic symbol was by flooring it with a big puff of smoke.

He's from this town as I've seen him around and with his car modified and chaved up the way it is I wouldn't be surprised if he is on a forum and as I was so angry at the time that I had decided that after my weekend away I would trawl the Civic forums to find out if he had posted about an S on the motorway and how he thrashed it to within an inch of its life but after a weekend in the Lakes I was too chilled to bother.

There are idiots in all sorts of vehicles. I just let them go and get great satisfaction when you see them making no progress despite thrashing the car.

since I struggle to recall many such cars being driven badly, I don't think the issue is one of numbers
Bad drivers are bad drivers it makes no odds, you dont suddenly stop driving like an idiot after swapping from a mondeo to a Zonda.
This whole catergorise drivers into makes etc IMHO is not correct. The only reason is that a greater % own a type of car therefor the cock ratio is larger as the sample population is greater.

It's a question of awareness isn't it?

In the past I've had a bad road rage experience with a driver in a red Ford Escort, for months afterwards I was very aware of how badly red Ford Escorts were driven on the raods around me.

Since the recent episode on the M6 with the Clio that I posted about a couple of weeks ago, it's been nothing but Clio's I've seen being driven like cocks.

As a result of the initial incident you're surely more aware of that type of car in the future and hence notice how badly other cars of the same make/model are being driven.

It could just as easily be a diesel Audi A4 as an Aston Martin that I notice next time, thew difference being that it'd be Audis I'd see more of on the roads afterwards.

I bet they are writing on parallel forum about a cock in a S2000 right now.

If I get an idiot in any type of car behind me I let him past so he can speed to the scene of the accident.



No, it wasn't always like this on here

Lately it's got much worse, the bell end count is off the scale

It's not cars specifically, it's just drivers.

Th amount of times I get flashed for abnormal things like:

Overtaking in acres of space
Using indicators
Using the correct lane discipline at roundabouts whilst indicating

I got flashed the other day for, what I can only guess as, pulling into the inside lane too quickly after pulling out to over take someone.

There was heavy fog around us on Saturday. 50% of cars didn't have their lights on, and out of that 50%, 40% didn't have their fog lights on.

The one vehicle I had to undertake was a Range Rover doing 50mph with Tracy Shaw at the wheel/phone. Rest assured, her lights weren't on.

The thing I have noticed is that drivers tend to do what the car infront is doing.

Baaaaaaa!

No wonder there are so many accidents - Get in car, seat belt on, heater hot, remove brain, start engine

Actually, when you consider the foregoing and how Nanny says using the phone or driving 1mph over the speed limit, or on medication or on coke or shit makes childern and bunnies die, it's surprising how few accidents there are in fact.

There are simply too many people on the road and it makes everyone irritable.

There are too many people in the country...

Why did you have to undertake?

60mph in the outside lane, nothing on the inside lane for at least 400m and flashing my lights at him didn't work.
