No! I was in 2nd pootling along, and decided to corner well within the abilities of my car and he took a disliking to it!

The routabout is of medium size, but very tight, so I sprung through as I have brand new tyres on and tons of grip. He was just being a mong.

If you do laps - he could report you for going around the roundabout more than 3 times in row, apparently that is illegal, for some strange reason...


Haven't heard of this before but I could well believe it. There's also a law against pulling away too fast from a set of lights called "furious driving".

I've been shouted at before by 'officials'. They think just because the revs are high.....you are speeding.

Turn the stereo up and don't engage in conversation....like the van driver I cut up today...ignore them....its fun watching other people's blood boil !!

I got waved at by the Monaco police through the tunnel. They had a speed gun, would have heard me coming, but I was in first

Also "furious driving" is a Manx law only I believe.

There was no one there but himself. He was just being a self-riteous c0ck.

Had there been loads of parked cars and kids running around I would have agreed, but the place was deserted and wide open - there wasn't a house or person in sight for miles!
I agree, no one else there he still thinks he is law and order ??
Sometimes they just don't know when to let go

Muppet.

I was doing about 10mph the other day in second and floored it, which as you all know is met with a nice throaty rumble (especially with airbox lid off!) with little acceleration, at which point an old woman jumps onto the road waving her stick at me (doing less than 20mph??)

I should have stopped but the amount of disapproving looks I get, I would be there all day..
