    Are they related to the people I come across on dual carriageways? Happily bowling along at 70 MPH, pull out to overtake lorry and then for some totally inexplicable reason slow down to 60.1MPH as they crawl past the lorry and then speed up again!

    In the words of viz.

    Nissan micra drivers: why not attach a lit sparkler to your cars radio aerial? You drive it like a dodgem, so you may as well make it look like one.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    Exactly why we should be able to arm our cars with missiles.

    Although. It could have been worse. 60mph A road at 40mph, Then 40mph through the school crossing which is a 20 or 30mph zone.

    Needle glued to 40mph.... WHY?

    That is probably my biggest hate. Invariably it is an old person...but we have had this discussion many times

    At the front of every queue is a Micra, that accolade used be filled Maestros and Metros back in the day.

    Many is the time that I have cursed the lorry at the front of the queue holding us up until we get to a bend in the road and I can see past it.
    Lo and behold there is the Micra.

  • I'm quite an aggressive driver, or shall I say confident, I DO TAILGATE, but only when you're travelling, for no REASON at 25/26/27 mph in a 30mph zone. If you do 30mph, I WILL NOT tailgate you, I will drop back and just cruise. This is why people get annoyed.

    Unfortunately if you tailgate me i'll go slower in order to allow for your lack of braking distance, i'm always happy for you to overtake me though and will galdy assist you every time by keeping well to the left wherever we happen to be...indeed i prefer people like you in front.

    I do that with tailgaters. Rather amusing on country roads when you can keep them down to 20mph or so for miles and miles with a bit of judicious road positioning.
    15mph if they blow their horn or start flashing headlights. !!!!!!!! baiting can be fun.

    What you are doing is , completely wreck less and dangerous . The sooner the police catch you the better , Before you kill or injure someone . They should also take your driving license off you for good And then , either - crush your car or set it on fire . We can all live with slow drivers and survive the experience . But , not you !
