If you put your stupid fking AX 2 feet in front of my bumper when traveling at a speed less than mine by 20 mph, you can expect my fking front bumper to be glued to the back of your said rear bumper. Please do not proceed to glare from your freaky eyes, beneath your flat cap and flash your frankly rubbish lights in outrage.

Additionally driving standards in this country are st. All of the coffin dodgers are out and about on the motorways for Christmas, together with the nervous young women returning home from uni.

Most frustrating drive of the year up the A1. It's either a lorry overtaking his mate +1 mph, or both of them overtaking the above said student, whose hugging her steering wheel in abject terror. When that have finished their duel, there's the OAP in their Micra who will creep past at 63, ignoring the whole world around him... When past the queue said OAP will stay in the outside lane because there is another fking lorry visible on the horizon. tt.

fking driving standard are st in the country. In fact the country is fked, and so am I!

Merry fking Christmas!

Seems to be the jist of it yes. Apparently anyone moving slower on the roads than the OP is a fking idiot.

Me Lane 2 - he Lane 1. Two lanes moving at two speeds.

Me about to past Mr Flat cap, when 2 feet in front he puts himself in lane 2 with no warning. Me then close to him as he put himself there.

Take a deep breath and move on. Yes standards of driving today are st but there's sweet FA you can do about it.

It's quite funny watching other people get so wound up on the roads, life's too short.

I think it's quite nice to see old British classics out and about in the countryside.

Hang on, are you saying us country folk are crap at driving?

I don't get it.

some surprising cars were hogging lane 2 - BMW 1 series and an Imprezza with a stupid spoiler also.

My suspicion is that the majority of crap drivers are City drivers who come out of their comfort zone once a year.

Yeah, best to intimidate them as much as possible, right? Teach them a lesson, that'll show 'em.

But congratulations, you appear to be one of the crap drivers you despise so much.

Whatever. If you can find a way to drop back five feet instantly when the nice man jumped ino your braking space, two fee in front, well clearly you are a better driver than me.

I have been driving a good few miles for a good few years, with very few accidents. I'm no driving god, and I admit that I was frustrated today, but I was frustrated by the unusually st driving that I saw.

The A1 was moving at 50 - 60 MPH only, and the only reason is the traffic that was unwilling to pull into the gaps to let faster traffic flow. Still judging by Mr AX perhaps he is best left in lane 2 as his mirror signal maneuver, has clearly been changed into ignore mirror, maneuver and signal.
