You are missing the point. Was it Red Bull?

Wish they'd done it to that lad with the 04 Golf and the baseball bat in the trunk. Would've been a watch worthy of popcorn.

Oh sorry, I'm guessing by the abusiveness of the driver the snob in me wants to say some generic energy drink from a local newsagents. One of those 50p a can jobs rather than anything as expensive as real Redbull haha

Matt needs to take that eye off the phone when he's driving.

They all are. Yesterday I overtook a Citroen that was gong at 35mph in a 60. It was following a slow van but with about four car lengths between it and the van. As I started to pull in, the driver closed the gap between it and the van to less that 5'. I could not see sufficiently far ahead to pass the van without risking making it brake or even lift off. After much hooting and headlight flashing - a sure sign, I was told, that there is no danger - I had a clear view and overtook the lead vehicle.

If I'd had a can of Red Bull I would have felt like throwing it at the other car. I was really angry. The car driver had no idea whether there was anything coming or not.

Yep, definite Citroen behaviour. I even had it with a crawler lane on an a road. Procession of slow cars, I managed to overtake about 3 and then identified a big gap as the lane was due to end, started gently gliding into it and, lo and behold, the gap is now non-existent and the crapmobile filling it is on the horn...

Needless to say I wasn't going to chance my arm with oncoming traffic due to the fast approaching merge, so I did fit.

This is one of the reasons I've been glad to be outside the UK for the last year. This level of petty nonsense over driving just isn't really seen outside our shores to the same extent.
