Do you really mean those words?

Probably not but just trying, very badly it appears, to get across my point about how severe I view crossing those hatchings is.

There you have it. The Bentley driver decided you'd messed with his masculinity by doing what you did and promptly took all necessary steps to recapture it.

You then decided your masculinity had been messed with and shot off after him. When you didn't get back in front of him the only option was to "grass" him.

You are being a weirdo again...

Fair enough. If you view it as so severe then why wouldn't you report it? The police would take their own view as to how severe it is of course. People who don't view it as so severe might choose not to report it.

I think in this case I will leave it, let he who is without sin etc.

I have been taking a good look at my driving recently and trying to improve. It appears I have a way to go in that regard.

I think I need to look at getting on a track fairly regularly so I don't use the road network as a racetrack

Again vid no worky.

I removed that clip after someone on here posted a very offensive comment aimed at my wife from the youtube alias "Jesus".

I think you should put it back up

Not going to happen I am afraid. What was said was extremely offensive and shows that I cannot trust people on here to be civilised.

The single most important element in road driving is attitude. If you view road driving as any sort of competitive event, you're going to find it frustrating and, ultimately, not good for you or those who interact with you on the roads.

I used to drive nearly 70,000 miles a year and many nights I'd land home so hyped up with frustration that it'd take me 20 minutes before I was worth talking to (some would say far longer...). I now accept the roads are primarily for A-B and I have no right to expect other people to behave differently to facilitate my own journey. Set off in plenty of time, enjoy the moments when the road is quiet and it's safe to make progress and don't let those who want to drive more slowly or quickly than you affect your state of mind.

There are many, many more important things in your life to worry about.

Yup. I would say most of the time I am ok, just get wound up occasionally which is something I need to work on.

I'd argue that having that expectation and then being disappointed will create stress. What benefit does having that expectation provide?

If you're interested and can be arsed this is worth a read.

I must read that book more often. A great book imo.
