Like when you are in a lane or something, and they are dawdling along.

I have tried flashing my lights, driving really close & beeping but its not had much effect.

    Use the bull bars to give them a shunt from behind, then floor it.
    That should do the trick.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Try the 'T-pac' manoeuvre as featured on 'American Cops are great' or whatever?

    Recognise that your impatience makes you a bad driver too.

    Fixed that for you. Slow drivers don't generally cause accidents - people who allow themselves to get wound up by them do.

    Well allow longer for your journey, why feel a need to intimidate someone?
