Myself & a fellow pistonheader were making our way home from looking at some nice new tuscans & catching our first glimpse of a 350 when, we bumped into one of those w*nkers in a people carrier. Has anyone else come across one of these dicks? He obviously had been forced by the wife to px his price yellow mondeo with the rs kit & tsw's in for a espace. I know they don't want to drive them but do they have to drive them like they do? 100mph round a bend up someones arse is pretty dangerous in a 996 never mind in a high up car full of kids on racing bike tyres!

I had the first real proof of how alot of people can be such d*cks.
I went out for a drive this evening and got stuck behind someone with their rear foglight on, he/she was doing 30, I was doing 30 (in a 30), then guess who comes up behind me........some TW@T with his front fogs on, right up my chuff and he's flashing me because I'm doing 30 and keeping a good distance behind the numptie in front as I'm being blinded by the rear fog.
I actually had to go home after about 10 minutes as I had and still have a splitting headache.

the answer is to just get slower.the front fog guy comes past and is no longer a problem.
but he also gets to enjoy the rear fog of the guy you were following.
and as a bonus the guy with the rear fogs on no gets to have a dazzler in his mirrors.
you then sit back untill you leave the 30 zone and then pass em both and forget em.
stress free motoring

Last year (jubilee weekend in fact) I was enjoying a good drive through the cotswolds when I came upon one of these nutters. Only this guy was in a pretend MPV (is there anything worse) Citroen thingy. Anyway, there I was making delightful progress along very uncluttered roads when this guy decides that, of all the miles of road availiable to him, the area 6 yards from my rear bumper is best.
However after a few miles of spirited driving, in such a state, he turns off. Now, how often does that happen?!

atg said: White van in Cotswolds averaging about 45mph... I'm stuck behind it for a few miles, get a clear section leaving a village and overtake ... spend nect 15 miles averaging about 60mph on exactly the same type of roads ... with the white van glued to my bumper
That'll learn ya!
Last Friday night as mentioned in a previous post, I was driving home behind a lorry, I couldn’t overtake as the road I was on offered little or no overtake opportunity, but the twat behind me insisted on driving dangerously right up my rear end, so I dropped back even further than I was already and slowed down a little to give the imbecile chance to overtake me as he was in a more powerful care than my 1.3 KA. But did he take advantage of my kind gesture, did he fcuk, he stayed glued to my arse. 
he pissed me off so much I overtook the lorry in the end just to get away from him. Did he follow ... no he stayed where he was. Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!! makes me so mad.

Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!! makes me so mad.so often, I see numpties right up the arse of lorries or whatever with absolutely no intention of passing them - what's the point! [generalise] surely these people (who probably shout "speed kills when someone overtakes them") realise it increases the likelihood of an accident! [/generalise]
while I'm at it, why TF do people flash you just because you've overtaken them?
and why is it that people tailgate when you're following something slower than you then find themselves unwilling to pass it when you do? Get TF away from me!!!!!!!
and WTF is it about doing tight formation on the moterway? numpties all following each other at 80-90mph with no idea that the slightest problem will cause a pile up!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Then you get the nutters like the Volvo estate I wanted to pass on an empty Norfolk country road earlier this week. Plenty of room and a straight, he's doing 45-50mph so I indicate, pull out and what does he do? Accelerates and sidles over the central white line by a foot, just enough so I can't get safely past.
Grrr
Grrr
Ihad an old git in a maestro do the sit over the white line thingy a few years ago he was doing 30 in a NSL , this went on for about 10 miles ,got very peeved off god knows hoew many other cars were behind him tried one last time ,he moved to the centre of the road to block it , i lost it and gave him a freindly tap on the bumper , he moved over i over took and so did about 6 other cars , i know i could have made him loose control of his car and it was very stupid but i can only take so much of a w*nker delibrately blocking the road

Well done Denny!
To return to the original topic: no mate it is not just you.
Just this past week I have begun to notice that the more recent worryingly common displays of high-numptiness come more regularly from those funny (and usually French) vans with too many seats rather than from any other form of transport. The craziest was from a bloke, four kids up, hopping in and out of a long line of moderately slow moving traffic, forcing his way between cars and passing where only a person that had been granted eternal life would dare, only to get stuck behind the very wide load that all the other cars were patiently following anyway as it was f******g obvious to anyone with eyes and a heartbeat that it was impossible to pass anyway, never mind in a wheezing, underpowered, fat arsed Fiat Multipla (Ok that’s Italian but close enough)!
I think it must be something to do with the fact that the poor gimps driving these soggy suspensioned, Ribena stained brat buses are trying to re-affirm their manliness by tailgating / overtaking on ludicrously dangerous parts of the highway / bouncing it off the limiter and rocketing it down the motorway / having the front fog lights blaring away, because it is as obvious to him as it is to the rest of the world that his youth is now not only dead and buried, but that he is also now married to a slack fannied, sprog factory of a munter that has him so far under her thumb that she not only forces him to sell his Vectra 2.3 V6 (well he thought it was cool)and buy a kick in the bollocks on wheels, but also forces him to ferry around his parasitic spawn in this eurobox, bastard child of a slow van and a bad car for all and sundry to see.
Just my 2ps...

Things like this rarely happen to me.
I dunno why probably cos I'm usually the fastest thing on the road (and thats without trying) people never get to tailgate me.
The ony things that ever catch me up are seriously fast cars, motorbikes and plod. I pay serious attention to the rearview as a result.
I do agree though that those awful people carriers do exhibit some of the lowest standard of driving seen.
Mind you they there is one advantage. Plod would never in a hundred years use one as an unmarked vehicle so you can feel safe as you over take at whatever damn speed you like.
