idiot on the M25
Discussion
So, i drive a 16 seat mini bus that is used for carrying disabled passengers.
Had to go from Bracknell to Chigwell to drop a guy of for a weeks respite, poor chap broke his neck in a collapsed rugby scrum. Nice trundle round even though i am limited to 62.5mph .and apart from some t
t in asmall jp rotbox stiing ocntinously in eith L2 or 3 depens if 3/4 lane section all was ok.
On the way back i was rapidly ( i use the term advisedly!!)closing on a larger jap rotbox doing about 59.5 or so. I pull paet him and checked LH mirror to see when i can pull in from L2. He seemed to be holding station with me.Then the f******wit decides not only to match my speed but must have woken up by me passing him . He then attempts to speed past at 63 mph. I got a little bit annoyed by now and gave him some horn and had on the LH indicator on the wing mirror ( about three foot from his head). did he slow down??? did he buggery. Luckily with my vast reserve of bulk, and his inability/reluctance to complete the passing, i had him locked in behind an HGV and mamaged to get past the HGV and back into L1. Must have taken nearly two miles, (it was on a four lane strech at the time)
Why do they do this? and not only when i am in the bus but the Volvo estatebrick ( rounded version) but also the Royce. Now all are on CC so its not me that changes speed!!
One day i might just lose my rag with one of them

People just get into lane 2 and go into auto pilot mode.
I was heading up the 42 to the 6 last week. Everyone doing 70 ish through the cameras.
I'm in lane 1 at 66-70 with a hgv up ahead. I had already clocked the 3 series hogging lane 2 for the last half a mile and she was now along side.
I popped my indicator on to see if she would move out into the empty lane 3.
She wouldn't move, with the hgv getting close I try again.
This time she slowly drifts 3/4 out of 2 into 3 so I cautiously move out.
This woke her up as she now swerved into 3, pulled infront and slammed on her brakes.
By this time I had overtaken the truck and back into lane 1 and on my way.
WAKE UP

When i went on the two driving courses RR motors did at Crewe before the 'split' we were told two things very forcibly
First, they are NOT Rolls, or even worse Rollers. They were designed and built by Henry (later Sir) Royce. Charles Rolls offered to sell them
Second
You 'OWN' a Rolls-Royce (or Royce) but 'DRIVE' a Bentley.
On the course having sampled both models i understood what he meant, and when i 'drove' my mates Bentley Turbo, by jimimny the car wanted to go like stink, whereas in my old lady she was happy at pootling along at 70

So to summarise, someone was being a bit of a penis and you decided in your wisdom that the correct thing to do was act like an even bigger penis?
Cool story bro.
Why not just dip in behind him instead of pissing about, blocking up lanes and slowing everyone behind you down whilst you have your speed limited grand prix?
Whilst we're at it, lorries shouldn't overtake either.
Can of worms, I just opened it.

If you read the post, the driver was doing less than my posted 62mph and i was passing him, and i was empty. And it was just a toot, not a blast i gave him, to see if he was awake!!! He was the ned. It just pissed me off thats all. It was a bit of elephant racing with a rancid mongrel on a 4 lane stretch.
Re the pic of the Royce, with or without custard?.
wont be for a few days as my main PC is having major surgery, and i am on a laptop

Have you any idea how pretentious you sounded calling it a 'Royce'?
