So coming home last night, driving through traffic lights (definite green light for a decent while) when a muppet in a berlingo pulls clean out in front of me and I have to stand on brakes and swerve nearly hitting another car to not hit him. Obviously lay on the horn and the cheeky bugger kept going and gave me the finger!! Anyway accident avoided so I continued on to end up behind same motor on down the road and he's sitting at 45 on a clean, straight, traffic free road! Indicator on to overtake when he pulls out in front of me and refuses to let me pass. I can hear his engine screaming for mercy but he refuses to give in. Both motors on wrong side of road now and he stays there until a bend approaches so I cant get past. Now I'm definitely angry, but what else could I have done. Was tempted to ram the b**tard. Thankfully he turned off shortly after this and I was sorely tempted to follow him but that would've been very messy. What would you have done??

I would not have allowed myself to get that angry. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Yes, of course there are some dicks out there, but rise above it all and move one, it really is the best way.

[ozzycat]

i would have gone after him and shown him the error of his ways and a free call for a ambulance

[Varche]

Life is too short. Just let him go. If you had confronted him and he was drug fuelled and armed with a knife/gun what would you have done?

Initially he might have been embarassed at having made a mistake. Keep on at him and it becomes more serious.

[dbug]

When I was but a mere youth I would have "pit'd" him, but now I would just think "what a dickhead" and hope he only writes himself off in the future

As said - lifes too short and don't drag yourself down to his level

[horsecow]

I guess your right that I shouldn't have gotten so angry but its very hard when you've done nothing wrong and some idiot is taking the piss like that!!

[dbug]

Trouble is mate, IME, however fast you drive there is always someone faster, and however good a driver you are, there is always someone better.

Came back along autobahn years ago driving a 3.0 lit Carlton, late at night flat out at 150mph, and a Porsche went by me as if I was standing still - estimated his speed around 190 - 200 mph!!

[swordfish]

I guess thats possible but doesn't that make them an even bigger a**ehole for taking it out on someone who wasn't involved. I admit I was ragingfor the most of the way home but I still didn't take that out on anyone else.
