Why is it when somebody is blatantly in the wrong they still bleat on as if they were right?
Threads like this are starting to get on my t!ts.
If we all drove with more caution and consideration half of the road issues would be gone.

Perhaps you could explain why you were tailgating the Toyota, if not to block the Audi from merging-in-turn. In my books that's poor driving, the only person not merging-in-turn was you.
I'm quite sure the police had quite a good laugh at your road warrior antics.0 -

I was not tailgating! the speeds at that time were about 15-18 mph, I was about 12-15 feet behind the Toyota, and as we both should have been accelerating I would have automatically adjusted the distance as the speed increased, there was actually no need for the Toyota to be going that slow given they were the lead car with nothing in front of them, the Audi was half my vehicles length behind my front bumper, he undertook 2 vehicles, the correct procedure is to merge in front of the vehicle you are in front of, in this case the Audi should have merged behind me as I was the lead vehicle, i.e in front of him, instead he chose to undertake both vehicles causing both the Toyota and me to brake, (against the HC as I quoted earlier).
I would, (and have),driven exactly the same way even if the Audi had been a marked police car, as I had the right of way on both occasions, both incidents, whatever the car were bad driving by the by changing lane when not safe to do so, I was already in lane 2 on each occasion and he should have waited until I had passed. If that is the way you lot drive, then it is you that need more driver training.

If you were doing 15-18 in lane 2 and the Audi 30 in lane 1 then he did nothing wrong.
You are in the wrong.0 -
