    Stop being so blasted righteous woman! Caring for sheep and the like, my ar5e. You may like animals, but you don't think twice about ramming me off the road in your ruddy Cayenne. Its people like you that give car drivers a good name, I mean, bad name.

    Thank you Jeanie:kisses3:

    Sitting here feeling tired & knackered & you gave me a good laugh & cheered me up:D

    A laugh? A laugh? Do you not think that it is selfish to shove us poor Rav 4 drivers off the road in your big over priced vehicle? Just because you are stuck up and rich enough to drive one of those obnoxious vehicles - incidentally, the colour of the wood in most of those resembles cat sick - you think you own the damn road????? And you laugh? Shame on you woman.

    Bentley Continentals also seem to have wood in them that is the colour of cat sick too - if anyone was wondering. I like to be informative when I can.

    forced out the way.

    well if you had said the driver was physically ramming other cars off the road then yes dialing the emergency number would be appropriate.
    if it was a smart car tailgating i doubt you would have called 999. people tailgate all the time,im guessing your on first name terms with our emergency call centre operatives then.
    how do you know he would have definatly caused an accident, are you derren brown or something?

    I was tailgated on the M62 for 14 miles by some silly cow in a 206 a few weeks ago. I was in a Vectra estate and she was detirmined to get passed me! She must have been 20 ft behind me all the way. This was at 75-80mph in lane 3. She went into lane 2 to try to sneak past to get onto the M60 ringroad and then indicated at the side of me and started to change lane as if it was my fault. So she got a blast of the horn, two fingers and got blocked for another 12 miles :)

    She might have wanted to get passed you.

    Thats an over taking lane, not a driving lane.

    Driving in lane 3 is very bad/sloppy/inconsiderate driving.

    Why would you want to stop someone overtaking you:confused:

    That's great, it's not very considerate owning a 4x4 unless you actually do off-roading IMO but at least if you indicate and don't think you're superior to everyone else because you have a bigger car, that's great news. :T

    Cheers.

    Funnily enough, I purchased it in order to drive off-road. Can't understand why anyone would buy one solely to drive on the road. Obviously, I use it for both as it makes little sense to have two cars.

    Cheers

    I've also noticed, today, that if someone else is driving the same car as you, they are either nice to you, or try to race you to see who has the fastest car:rolleyes:

    Haha I had this happen to me last weekend on the motorway, pulled up next to a Focus same as mine but diesel, only for him to put the pedal to the metal and try to undertake me :rotfl: Didn't work though and I sailed past, then saw him swerve across the lanes because he was about to miss his exit. :cool:
    This thread has me so pumped, I headbutted my dog and we both screamed.

    Another "my diesel is faster than your petrol muppet" yes it is until you have to change gear at a massive 4,500rpm you would think they would learn after a few goes.
