[Mr Gav]

I had some prat in a gay coloured chavved up Focus fancy his chances where 2 lanes merge to 1, right by the sign that says "Merge in turn". Which clearly he felt didn't apply to him.

However, he was less willing to sacrifice his gay shitbox than I was, so had no choice but to yield, which seemed to get him very agitated. But as he lacked the speed and ability, I'm not sure how long it took him to calm down.

Ha ha...like it

With the number of BMWs about-common as muck these days -this thread has the potential to equal Webbys 0-60 one!

Mrs TB, who commutes 40 miles up the motorway, pointed out to me a couple of years back, its no longer Mondeo BMW man, but VAG drivers, particularly Volkswagon and Audi drivers.  Ever since she mentioned it, I think she's right. You get the occasional BMW knob, but an awful lot of VAG tossers....

I'm in agreement... A lot of Audis actually.

Didn't Clarkson say this a while back?

Include Skoda in that. It's obvious to see why. All that pent up frustration when your boss won't let you have the BMW / ALDI that you wanted.

In the main, the standard of driving in this country is terrible no matter what they drive.

Who are you and where is STEMO? I never agree with you

True though... Very true

Pretty much that.

On the way back from Goodwood yesterday I had a young woman in a first generation Megane convertible trying to climb into the boot of my car while she chatted away on her mobile phone. She was very agitated when I dared slow down to 30mph for a 30mph limit village  ... so I did 20, instead. 

Oddly enough she couldn't keep up with a 4.4L V8 when we exited the 30 limit..

A guy in a giant Mitsubishi was doing the same to me this morning, on a well-lit single carriageway. I was doing about 38 in a 30 but he wanted to go faster. Silly bastid kept dropping back and then coming up fast behind me. About a mile down the road we hit the twisties and that was the last I saw of him.

Don't forget to do the civilised thing, and slow down to allow other drivers out of side turnings and let pedestrians cross.

I must say when they see a dusty old Omega with a massively dented side, rusting bare steel, missing trim, and three types of alloy wheel, they are somewhat surprised when the old girl manages to beat them off the lights. Every time.  the 2.5s are underrated.

There is one thing that puzzles me a  bit,and that is what time does the speed limit end and then restart again,only when I'm out at 05.30 Mon thru Fri, I regularly see drivers coming through a local village which is a 30 limit at an easy 50+ There seems to be some unwritten rule that in rural areas you can go balls out in the hours of darkness and not be challenged. My neighbour stacked his focus doing just that, and it was a good twenty minutes before someone saw him upside down in a field.Still drives like a teeewat  now I spent twenty years of attending RTA's (not RTC's) and never heard anyone admit to a bad judgement call on or off the record, and that sort of arrogant attitude has just been  passed down through the years to the present spoilt have it all right now brats who frequent our roads at present.In all honesty you can't beat them....just keep your finger close to the sport button and look for the odd opportunity to blast them into the weeds

Good point that..

Nearly had a head-on with someone doing well over 40mph down a 40mph limit single carriageway last night at ~10pm or so; it's a winding back-road between Six Fields in Northampton and one end of town.. three cars came up it at a rate of knots, one followed by two side by side.

Which meant one of them was on my side of the road doing many leptons.. I was briefly tempted to keep my foot in and see if he disappeared off into a field to avoid me.

  My girlfriend lives not far from there

Although she's from Wales originally and I haven't noticed any webbed toes..
