I had a Morrisons lorry behind me on the M6 in the average speed bit just north of Warrington, I'm always cautious as they are quite sudden and I don't know how close to the cameras you have to be to start the clock as it were so slowed down to 48 - cue lorry coming right up behind flashing his lights, so slowed down to 45, so he beeped his horn, so slowed to 38, then when it went back to normal sped off safe in the knowledge it would take him another 3 miles to get back up to speed and he would have had to downshift about half a dozen times..

Everyone one here seems to have a very calm disposition. Makes me want to book up some anger management sessions

There’s just no point in getting angry with shouty tossers.
You can’t do anything about it apart from shout back or up the stakes into physical violence.
If you shout you look like a prat, and if you punch them you end up in court with a magistrate asking if you ever heard the phrase ‘Sticks and stones’.
Just wave and smile, blow them a kiss or ignore them.

As for the people who won’t let you change lane, ignore them.
1 in 3 people are pricks, chances are the person behind the tosser or the person behind them will see what’s going on and will let you in.

Lastly, the ones that accelerate when you try and overtake.
These people should be taken aside and given a damn good kicking – that’s not just being a cock, that’s one step from attempted murder.

I had two people try this recently

One was in a Prius and the other an Insignia diesel

Both were clearly hallucinating as well as bitter

The correct response is actually, "do not announce yourself with so base a soubriquet!"

They're invariably too thick to work out whether it's an insult, or not.

Also posted a similar story a few weeks ago on here.
Being in the outer of two lanes in a 50mph average roadworks area, and doing an accurate 50 by gps and on cruise control too.

I had enough of this stupidity after about three miles, a loaded tri-axle with 38tonne on board won't stop like an empty Passat.

So on the exit, at the base of a huge incline I brought it quickly to an emergency stop.
And drove off leaving it stuck in crawler gear for the next mile or so.
Tosser.
