I'm constantly finding that drivers (yeah particularly vans) speed up into the gap you about to move into when you indicate to change lanes. I've bitten my tongue that many times now there is not much left.

Sadly, your experience is a way of life down south

More interestingly, what's a Billy Bat? I'm sat at work and received the message "Warning: you are attempting to access a banned weopons site this message has been logged with the IT administrator " when I clicked on the link.

Potfish seem sto think it's controversial. So......

Looks like a steel baseball bat that doubles up as a stoplock.

A few of you will recall I had a "white van experience" a few weeks back. Pulled up at lights on a large traffic island - 2 lanes - me in outside lane, white van in inside. Lights change. I'm away like an S2000, him like a white van. I take next but one left exit and come up behind slow traffic' Van catches me up and then follows me 2" from my bumper, flashing his headlamps furiously.... and then, 200 yards up the road, he turns off down a side road.

There are a number of people on the road with serious personality problems

I LIKE that Billy Bat! Where could you keep it in an S2000 though ?

Sorry about that.. try this one http://www.billybat.com/
Hopefully your internet police won't be too hard on you.

I'm thinking it'll fit in the passenger side footwell, depending on how long it is, and who's sat next to you.
