Default Baiting a CTR

As I was driving along the A1 last night I passed a Police car at about 70mph, 200 yards up the road a shiny black CTR flys up the slip road tries to push in front of me but has to go behind and sits right on my back bumper (I'm doing about 40mph at this point behind another car). Car in front pulls in, I gun it up to 70 and then pull into the slow lane and the CTR blasts past at 95mph. Police car follows about 10 seconds later with the lights on.

I feel a bit guilty now, but the guy was driving like a dick and was stuck to my rear bumper until I moved over.

Not to worry eh

I wouldn't feel guilty..

blasting down a sliproad can be fun.. but it's a dangerous game because you don't know what is around you.. he was too bothered looking in front of him and not checking his mirrors.. (assuming it was a marked car)

Can't see what you've done wrong there Neil.

(never had you down as a street racer though )
