M1 tonight: I wish there had been some BiBs!
Discussion
Coming hoome up the M1 around 5:30 tonight, between Northampton and M45, I was in the outside lane behind a Suzuki-type 4x4 (ie. not going that fast) when a black Range Rover stormed up behind me flashing.
As I couldn't go anywhere I waited till the Suzuki had overtaken and pulled in, then overtook him and pulled in. All this time the RR was tailgating and flashing.
He then stormed up to the Mondeo ahead, again tailgating and flashing. Mondeo was also stuck behind a slow vehicle but decided to pull in behind the car he was overtaking rather than get past it.
Then, while pulling in, he braked. RR had to brake hard, and swerved around a bit. I had backed well off by now as you can imagine.
RR then slowed right down beside the Mondeo and started moving leftwards to push the Mondeo out of the middle lane. Mondeo moved into the inside lane when he could, after which RR moved into the middle lane to block off any way of escape for Mondeo.
I left them to it, went past and got well away.
I wish there had been some BiBs around. Even a HATO might have been enough! It's not speed that's dangerous, it's attitude. I've not encountered the RR attitude for ages and I was scared he was going to do something really silly like bang into the Mondeo.
BTW, RR reg was 90 G or 9 OG (vague spacing). Any point in reporting him now?

Is it a broad generalisation to say that Range Rover drivers are the nations most under-endowed men? I clearly recall a week after passing my test, driving up to a junction when some barrow boy tore round the corner onto my side of the road casuing me to brake very hard. Maggot boy then stops 100 ft down the road, reverses back and challenges me to a fight. His female passenger looks on as though this is normal. 
Hrm, you need to visit www.roadrager-elimin8r.com They kitted my car out with this lovely roof-mounted minigun accessory. I can let rip 2000 7.62mm rounds a minute. Enough to shred a Rangie in seconds at 300 paces. 
Knocks about 30mph off the top speed mind and it now rolls like a weeble in the corners...

It's not just Range Rovers...
I consider anyone with a Land Rover size/shape 4WD vehicle complete tossers.
They think just because they drive a large vehicle they can do what they like, a bit like truck drivers really.
cue towman....
Award for the silliest post ever goes to.........

Nice.
Do they do a Hellfire missile option too?

Bizarre with a £40k+ vehicle, eh?
Puzzles me that too - you spend £40k+ on a top of the range motor and you dont spend £100-£200 on a decent integrated car kit.... I mean, if money is that tight, they could have dropped the ass-cooler-massager option and got a decent car kit instead....
Just bizzare....

No point in reporting him now mate...best just to leave it..
He'll end up doing it and be seen by a BiB, or he'll do it to a Kenneth Noye type and really regret it..
...and the sooner the better. That sort of clown should be off road ASAP.
What's the difference between a Range Rover and a hedgehog?
Best wishes all,
Dave.
