Pricks on the road

[Dave]

Make me so f**king angry. Had a prize prick last night in a f**king lorry.

Was going toward the A13 after going though the Dartford Tunnel. Only one tunnel was open and as I came out of the tunnel in the right hand lane I had a lorry up my arse flashing his headlights.

No matter the fact that its dark and raining, that I have a stream of traffic in front of me and a stream of traffic on my left, and a solid f**king white line preventing me from moving anyway, this prize c**k is actually flashing me to move outta his way.

Makes me f**king mad.

 

[Little Newms]

tw*t! Should have slowed down, thats what i do lol

 

[Dave]

Not as great an option on the M25 tho lol. Absolute knob. Sometimes I think "If i had a bucket load of cash and didnt care about the car Id just hit the brakes. See how he likes to tailgate then!"

 

[t11mne]

Exactly - just a nice, slow decrease in speed, gently stop after a nice little while, and then just as hes getting outta his lorry to beat the sheet out of you, put your foot down!

he he he he

 

[Wezzie]

Wudnt do it infront of a lorry but when people do this to me i wack my breaks on randomly till they leave a better gap. Some scruffy imigrant was doing it while i was in 1 of works vans lastweek. I just happened to be in a 40 zone at 40 behind traffic onfront. I cant go any faster and he gets right up my arse outside the cop station so i wack the brakes on and make him swerve into oncoming traffic. Didnt hit anything but he shudnt have been such a silly c*nt. Yes i do realise i did a dangerous thing but 1 less imigant cant be a bad thing.

 

[t11mne]

Absolutely mate... these people need teching sometimes, scaring the sh*t out of them really does the trick sometimes!

iirc, if you slam your brakes on when someone is tailgating you and they hit the back of you, then they are in the wrong.

because something could have run out into the road, like an imigrant say, and you had to emergency stop to avoid a collision. The guy behind u is following too closely and doesnt stop, then its his fault for tailgating, as its an illegal activity anyways..

I may be wrong, but thats what i heard off a copper

 

[Mike@Rentech]

I had exactly the same thing the other day on the M25, monster lorry about 3 foot from my arse flashing his lights and generally getting agressive.

50 limit at the time and we all know what the M25 is like for speed cams, but had to rag it to get away from him as he was being a f**king stupid prick and driving very dangerously IMO

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Oh and another thing, why the f**k do lorry drivers race each other, overtake they are all limited in speed so why it makes me mad, they just pull out and dont give a sh*t

Id speed up if i was in the van and it didnt look like hed make to bigga dent. Its f*cking shameful the amount you see in rotherham town centre just standing around. They are all on the dole and cant be arsed to do anything about it. Id do something about them if i had the chance

They are all f**king w**kers. All of them. Toss pots. THey should have a lorry lane and just restrict it to the prick lorry drivers. its ridiculous the sh*t they pull.

Had another one today. I wanted the next exit and was in middle lane so I indicate left and leave it a bit so he knows I need to move over. Theres a good enough gap, not huge but ok so I stat to drift after taking a look in the mirror this f**king lorry is flashing.

I carry on drifting but no, today the lorry driver decides the highway code is correct and flashing is to let someone know that you are there, not to let them go. SO we blasts his horn. PRICK! I dropped it down to third and went around the lorry in front of him instead but that was risky and i almost missed the tunoff.

Saw same thing the other day happen to an old Bimmer except the lorry made no attempt to brake or adjust speed and just hit the BMW. At low speed so they got away with it and it looked like something out of swan lake ballet no impact just a coming together and a "push". Not pretty at a higher speed tho.

i had this on sunday when I was going through a 50 limit on the A1(i think its called the eltisley accident reduction scheme or something).

some dickhead right up my arse in a 4x4 thinking he owned the road, flashing his lights and being about 2 metres from my bumper.....

I then gradually slowed down until i was doing 20...what a tit. Soon as i got to national speed limit, 2nd gear see you later....

the way i looked at it was I was doing him a favour by saving him some points on his licence....wish i hadnt bothered though, the sooner he got points the sooner he would have been off the roads i guess!!



funny thing was there was a black 172 next to me in the slow lane and he was pissing himself laughing because of what i was doing lol

 

[Martin]

Yep, give them a brake test. Its exactly what I do when some idiot starts tailgating me...they soon leave a bigger gap after the first emergency stop!

 

[cat171]

i to do the same, a flash of the brakes always seems to work.


on the way home from work once (on the A13) from london towards dagenham etc, i was giving it some beans (in a 40) in the right hand lane when a dick head in a g reg toyota sh*t box tries it on,he is trying to push my car up the road,
so i play along for a bit, i got a bit of a gap- then hit the brakes (i knew a speed camera was coming up)
i heard a huge skid & when i looked in the mirror the toyota was skidding all over the place, he obviously didnt realise that the camera as at the end of the underpass !!
i was ok as i rolled pas the camera at 35 !!


i slowed down further to about 25 got in the left hand lane waited for him to catch up & called him a w**ker.

you have to be careful though - a m8 of mine went into the back of the car in front on the M1 recently as the guy in front of him gave (2 in font if that makes sense) him a brake test for tailgating.

Result - the guy that did the brake test went to court and was prosecuted for dangerous driving (and got banned!)!

Its very easy to be intimidated in a small car, people think that coz they are bigger they have more right, well b****cks, my engin is bigger and im a batter driver so i should have more right

 

[DAVE_RSi]

moan at ppls driving thread lovely stuff

last night was out on way to misses and come roundabout

im on the roundabout in outside lane, heading off on2 dual carriageway after a bit

anyway theres a car inside me aswel which is fair enough

then a car decides 2 just pull out on2 the roundabout infront of us both, so we both basically have 2 stop as this fool just pulls out on2 a roundabout

then 2 my amazement, then car thats in my inside, then cuts right infront of me and takes the nearest exit,

I was in shock at 2 totally stupid drivers at the same time, just glad i slowed right down or id have hit 1 of them


and another moan, 2 nights ago, was on long straight road, come 2 left hand bend, ok im doing slightly over speed limit, police car goes other way and assoon as they c me they put hazards on and start 2 turn round, now im close 2 coming up 2 miniroundabout so i buzz round that and bugger off sharpish up the road b4 they get chance 2 catch up and pull me

couldnt b arsed 2 get pulled for 5+ mph or my tints

Over here in Spain, tailgating is the norm irrespective of being a motorway or a school crossing zone. I also was a big fan of the "braking manoeuvre" and used it to great success quite a few times. It also left me with a nice satisfied feeling ... got yer, yer f*cker!

However, given that the guy/gal behind may not be watching the road, or be drunk, or putting on makeup, or reaching down to change a Julio Iglesias cassette, or whatever and could go straight into the back of me possibly killing us both, I have stopped to do this.

However this doesnt stop me slowing down gradually to a crawl and then leaving them standing ... the point has been made.

I had this morning, was on my bike, in the rain, traffic moving along in front of me at 30mph, and a merc a-class is almost touching my back wheel. I slow down, cos im thinking to myself, im gonna slow to a stop, wait for him to get out then knock him out LOL! Id love to do that 1 day!

[MikeC]

only ever had 1 serious road rage incident on the bike, when some bloke who was bout 6ft 4 got out his car and tried to start a fight lol

 

[badinvincible]

I had a t**ser in a Primera Si overtake me in a 30 zone......what a w**ker

 

[Volvocano-fan]

This is a common thing on roads in the UK, too many idiots with lisences, but i do enjoy this trick:

The wife runs a 300+bhp Volvo T5. Compleatle de-badged and it is the estate version. These cars in the mid-90s were noted for their incredable mid range power, so while doing 70-80 mph, you get some dozy executive in a 316 BMW right up behind, so i tend to move from lane 3 to 2 and just squeeze the throttle slightly - it is funny as seeing him fight with the gearstick trying to get his asmatic BMW to go quicker, i then lift off the gas and nod my head in a disaproving manor at his small engined car - lol

 

[TheCake]

In July I was at max Live whilst staying in Brum. Whilst I was on my way to the hotel there, I came across a CS member in Birmingham with a Cup with blue sparco mudflaps overtaking dangerously in a built up area on hatched chevrons up the middle of the road....

Just goes to s how there are pricks here as well as out there.

^^^PMSL

If you ahem..have to do an emergency stop to teach someone a lesson you are of course braking because a cat ran out in the road and funnily enough said cat is now know where to be seen!!

almost snap -- a knob in an golf gti was up my *rse on the a1 recently, i moved into the left hand lane, dropped to 3rd and floored it.. i couldnt see his expression as he was so far behind, but i imagine he was pretty pissed off that a shopping cart left him for dead!!!!

 

[JAF 182]

Lorries drive me nuts overtaking at 90kph and 90.00000000000001kph - aaaargh!!

And 50% of all fatalities on the road involve an HGV - so be careful on the brake test in case you get 40tonnes of artic in the passenger seat!

 

[cutlercup]

I enjoy pretending to nearly pull out in front of people that cant be arsed to indicate when going round an island, they sh*t em selves and hit the brakes.

I also hate people that wander over lanes going round islands and stuff - i normally pull up beside him and do the same wallowing all over the place as if im DUI, evrytime he goes to overtake or go round you just wallow out on him and this well p*sses em off.

 

[Matt16v]

In the lorry drivers defence: The majority are foreign, you try driving something that big on the wrong side of the road in a foreign country. Their views of people are very diffent to your views of them. You might think theyre very close but they can see strait down and know theres a safe gap. Also if theyre in a left hooker then theyve got a problem when people overtake them cause they cant see you.

Its bad when theyre flashing their lights at you to move though.

Just remember next time where theres a bit of lane commotion that hes prob having a harder time moving that thing round a roundabout than you are.

********changing the subject to some nob in an Astra last night******

Some novice in an Astra Coupe Cabrio (mk4) was hanging up my ass last night while I was poodling along.He went strait over a round about in the right lane and nearly hit me. I moved over and he came roaring past with his missus in the car. They looked in their 40s. Very arrogant looking couple, prob thougt their new car would be much faster than my J plate.

Well, I didnt like that and think you can guess that I used the rest of the road to scare the living fcuk out of him by accellerating up his ass before undertaking and then I hopefully spat a nice flame at him. Only wished I had my blow off valve set to atmospheric so I could have scared him even more.

The brake test - not to be recommended. I used to do it too when some idiot was tailgaiting me, but then realised how dangerous it actually is: this idiot behind you is already driving too close, so theyre probably a crap driver not paying much attention. If you suddenly brake in front of them, do you think theyre always going to be paying attention??? (all I do now is gently press the brake pedal with the left foot enough to illuminate the brake lights, but without actually decelarating - has same effect but a lot safer).

Drifting across lanes on roundabouts really gets my goat though. No excuse.

And Ive also been overtaken in a 30 zone... by a t**ser in a Hyundai Getz

 

[Dave]

Mercedes A-Class drivers are f**king nuts they do stoopid speeds (i am taking about the merc that looks like an MPV arent I?)

 

[Matt16v]

I got the BMW "i have the best car in the world" attitude last night.

Ive never had a problem with them before but this tw*t in a 325i overtook me strait off a r/a while the 2 lanes were filtering in to one. Hes lucky I was looking or else Id have clipped in to the side of him.

I pulled up along side him at the next side of lights and saw the prat laughing at me. Bye Bye!

Then saw his face all screwed up and in a temper tantrum. He then turned off some where with a right stroppy look.

I seem to have attracted alot more of these people since getting the 2
