Idiots - good to see them get what they deserve
Discussion
Bit of a story, so only read if you've got a minute of two.
I'm on quietish motorway in L1 and a Jag S Type up ahead is about to join the motorway from the slip road, so I indicate and move over to L2, giving plenty of time and room. A Golf that was behind me in L1 then accelerates, undertakes me and gets level with the Jag so that it cannot merge into L1.
Shocked at this I automatically ease off a bit, ready for some sort of incident ahead of me and can now see 5 lads in the Golf hopping up and down with excitement. The Jag is running out of slip road so slows down hard, which the Golf also does, holding level with him. f
king unreal, I'm shocked at what I'm seeing.
The Jag driver then boots it, as does the Golf judging by the puff of soot. The Jag is the quicker car and pulls head, managing to merge into L1 by having to take 50 yards or so of the hard shoulder as the slip road ran out.
The Jag keeps his boot in and heads off at high speed, obviously and not surprisingly keen to put some distance between him and the Golf. The Golf settles into a slow-ish cruise in L1 and as I'm gaining in L2 I can see the lads inside hopping around and chucking fast food wrappers and cans out of the window.
Piss is beyond boiling point now so I dial 999 as a concerned citizen type, give the Golf reg and a quick account of what I have just seen. Up to BiB if they prioritise it or not. Golf stays at about 60mph in L1 and I boot it past, see them all laughing, keen to put myself well in front of them, they look like right pricks.
I lose sight of them in my mirrors, calm down, put it to the back of mind. 15 minutes or so later and L1 is getting a bit heavy with traffic as it becomes the filter for the approaching exit slip. I move into L2. Shooting down L3 comes the chav Golf from earlier. About 3 cars ahead of me it carves into L2 with the obvious intention of finding away to barge into the L1 filter for the exit. And who is there in the L1 filter right at this point? You got it, the S Type. The Golf has left his move pretty late with not much room. The Jag speeds up to hold them out and then slows down as they do and before you know it the chevrons are there and the Golf has to stay on the motorway. I know I shouldn't, but I laughed out loud, as I know on that stretch the next junction is a quite far away away. I shouldn't laugh but I did.
It doesn't end there though. The Golf heads straight back out into L3 and hoofs it off into the distance. 5 minutes later L3 parts to let though a stickered BiB Volvo followed by a silver BMW with blue lights also.
5 minutes later, I pass on the hard shoulder three cars - 2 are BiB, 1 of them a Golf.

Good resolution to the story, but Christ on a mountain bike; is this what the kids are doing for entertainment these days?!
Makes my blood boil in the same way that those who throw bricks off motorway bridges does. Just mindless, pointless and terrifying endangerment of others for fun.
