Where do some people get off....

[Easy_Rider]

On the way home from my Dad's, dog in boot... noticed a van right up our bum, i mean right tight up 2-3ft behind at 50-60mph... traffic in front, me being a passenger looked at him and shrugged my hands as if to ask why? and also noticed a young lad as a passenger, driver just waves back as if to say "what". moments later he decides to overtake on a single carriageway... cars approaching the other way at 60mph, we had to brake and let him in otherwise there would most certainly have been a head on accident, it was a total "i'm a prick" overtake manoeuvre.

We join the dual carriageway on our way home and he's just driving normally then, we go to overtake as he's not driving that fast and he winds down his window and shout abuse of such sorts of "i can overtake you in my van" "you in that piece of shit" :shock: A
WTF is he on? He's got a kid as a passenger FFS. Does he really think we were trying to race him with a dog in the boot?? What a total and utter prick. All I can fathom is because we are in an old car, that he think we are poor and that the car is a piece of shit slow thing (which it aint, its a nice sleeper which was fast asleep today)

Van sign marked "Storm zip karting"

stay well clear, prick alert.

i thought that, but he had a young lad as a passenger, and who know who was driving the other way. I'm trying to find info on that company though, one thing being a total prick, but putting your kid in danger like that it just wrong :evil: although he was probably loving it thinking his Dad was in the right etc, so another prick is born.

I was driving along the acle straight in norfolk in my jag the other week and was stuck behind an hgv that was doing about 35 mph in a sixty :x The acle straight is a two lane road about 9 miles long and I was only about two miles along it so I want to overtake :!: is this wrong :?: I think not.So I pull out and give it a bit of large and the tosser speeds up to about his limit about 60mph and this means I have to break the speed limit so I put my foot down (can't pull in as the gap has now closed) and notice that there is now oncoming traffic :shock: I am stranded in the wrong lane and oncoming traffic because a fat twat wants me to play chicken :shock: :evil: I end up doing 125mph to get in before I am dead :shock: Who is at fault here then :?: As I pass the cab I see that the idiot is laughing :twisted: Is this funny then :?:

 

[IDB1]

Who is at fault here then :?:

Lorry driving bell-end . .

Is this funny then :?:

Nope.

It's fooking dangerous.

125 probably wouldn't have gone down to well if plod were about but it is ok to exceed the speed limit in order to complete an overtake. . . unless the rules have changed now :?

You did the right thing to slow down...no point escalating an issue to a point where things happen could result in serious injury.

Camera's are handy in this situ...but too often it's too late to think of them.

Best thing is to just let them go ahead and be a pr+ck to someone else...oneday thay will get their ying...and you will get your yang

I don't quite understand the situation you were in, but you do know that the speed limit for an HGV is 45mph along a single lane carriage way (no central reservation) in a national speed limit area. And 50mph for a car with a trailer or caravan.

Didn't know that..

The way I read it was that mr in his Jag was stuck behind slowmo lorry, decided to overtake and lorry sped up to keep him out forcing him to go ton up in order to make the overtake in one piece.
