Maybe one of SP&TL, but I though I’d post it here
I try hard not to get wound up by the antics of others on the road, but some terwat in an A6 on the Motorway got at me this morning, by driving 10ft from my bumper (flash, flash and then full beams) trying to intimidate me into moving out of his way, whilst I’ve nowhere to go.
Thinking to myself “what a cooont”, I pulled over at the first safe opportunity to do so, (no eye contact or hand gestures on my part) only to watch him/her accelerate past to brake and repeat the intimidation to the next poor unfortunate (all of 50 yards further on) in “their” lane.
5 or 6 miles further on, with me a couple of hundred yards back and watching with interest from L2, Mr/Ms “I’m in a f
king Audi and I’m in a hurry” decides to do the hard left L3 to L1 suicide manoeuvre and pulls into the services
I felt like following this knob into the services and sticking matches in a couple his tyre valves, whilst he/she was having a wazz. It was still dark.....
Is this criminal damage?

This wasn't on the M/A42 was it?.
I had my first Audi A6, infact, an Audi of any sort, sitting on my bumper in lane 2 the other morning. I was sat behind a lorry overtaking another. She sat on my bumper, flashing the car lights multiple times. I wondered if somthing had happened or my car was screwed up.
I slowed down and dropped into lane 1. She accelerated up to the side of my car, held her hand toward the lane I was in and yelled "if you're not overtaking anything you t
t, you stay in that lane, learn how to f
g drive".
She proceeded to sit on the bumper of the lorry in lane 2 for several minutes before he completed his overtake. I then overtook all 3 vehicles doing the speed I was originally doing, 70mph.
Vigilante driving really annoys me when they have no idea how to drive.

I had this from a Lexarse driver on the M62/60 the other day.
I was making progress, as much as could be in the traffic and weather conditions and had this guy up my arse for probably about 15 - 20 miles, I even let him passed twice and still managed to end up in front of him in lane 3 every time.
Proper twunt. Even moreseo when he did a l3 - slip suicide manouver at the trafford center turn off.

you guys need to chill out, drive a diesel land rover, listen to classic fm and ignore the f
kwit flashing you from behind. just as you inch past the car on the left as the spare wheel on the tailgate blocks the light from their headlights as they are so close 
i know my cars not fast, but its amazing how slow it will overtake something when someone is 2 foot from my rear bumper
p.s. i don't do this if its a stream of traffic obviously.

Wait, even the Audi? 
My head would probably explode at being unable to cope with the complete f
kwittery and mind-boggling reasoning involved with that.I can understand bad driving more when there's at least a reason of some sort but 2 actions that contradict each other? Ugh.

Yes, even the Audi. She was probably doing 60 after she pulled in, 200 or so meters down the road from the front of the lorry we were behind. That's when my head exploded. Silly posh cow.

She looked bangable. Did I fail to mention asking her to get her jugs out with a stupid serial killer grin, as an answer to her rant?. Oh well.
Childish man point to me!.

Drop 5mph for every flash. I did that once, they got the idea
This!Did that this morning, followed by a Mercedes sprinter. I'm driving a Citroen AX, and the sprinter's lights are calibrated to my mirrors, so whilst happily driving along at 30 he decided to follow close, drop to 25 - he flashed, drop to 19.6mph
Although when he tried to overtake I dropped to 2nd and opened the taps, which may have been slightly thick, but funny nontheless

I often encounter this sort of thing twixt Oxford & LHR on my daily commute - I have, after several years, now come to regard it as 'light' entertainment (lovely pun that)
I do witness, many times, that sort of thing, the most common being the classic one where a fast car belts down the M40 outer (FOURTH!!) lane, then at the START of the chevrons, dives straight across all lanes to get on the M25. One day there is going to be such a multiple - thankfully I'll be in my usual lane, nicely over to the left slipping sweetly into the M25 slip road.
Going very slightly O/T, since my little sticker in the tailgate "warning winter tyres" I have not had so many tailgaters this last week........
