Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
Last night at around 9ish i was sat at some traffic lights waiting for green & i noticed a car sat waiting when their side was on green, then when their lights changed to red they drove through, ok i thought, my lights changed to green so i started to follow said driver (at a distance) who was braking heavily for no reason then speeding up, braking, speeding up & wandering from curb to white line.
He took the left lane to take the third exit from the roundabout, which is basically turning right on to the A38 towards Derby, the driver speeded up on the slip road, then braked heavily, speeded up.
We got onto the A38 & for no reason at all braked heavily & slowed to 35mph, there was just me & the other driver, at this point handsfree was in ear & i was onto the Derbyshire police, because his driving was like that of someone on drink or drugs, he then speeded up to around 50mph before pulling into a layby, the driver sat for 15ish mins with the engine running, headlights on & his indicater flashing whilst i gave a complete description of their vehicle & driving to the police.
The operator ask me to stay with said vehicle until the police arrived, the police didn't arrive & the driver pulled out of the layby, so i waited for him to get a good distance before i gave pursuit again, at this point i was about 1/4 of a mile behind & giving chase, the driver then decided to speed upto 115mph, no probs, i still kept my 1/4 of a mile distance while still talking to police & giving a full description of his where abouts, the operator said there was a marked car on its way, as we approached the Kilburn slip road the operater said you should see a marked car very soon, the marked car was on the slipway waiting for us & as soon as the driver saw the poilce he slowed right down to about 60mph with me just a little behind him, the marked car came past me with blue's & two's & pulled over the driver into a layby. The operator said thank you for assistance & i went on my way.
I would love to know the reason for his very bad driving, i was given a crime ref No, do you think if i enquire in a few days they'll tell me?

Just thinking outside the box (no pun intended)
I stand corrected..... thats a bit naff really, if I were God I would make all cars able to speak and say what is wrong..
A bit like the Maestro Vanden Plas? 8-)
Mate of mine had one of them. Unless he belted the dashboard with a windscreen scraper it kept harping on about being low on fuel. On one occasion, just as he was pulling out of a petrol station. Then it started moaning about the brakes requiring attention, so he ignored it, of course - until the brakes failed.
