Nah, they have moved onto AMG'S and Bentleys now.

Did you not watch My big fat gypsy wedding?

Can't watch that, but can imagine.
Oooh the orange glow would be too much for my TV.

I'm sorry, but there has to be more to this. You are saying that the guy stopped and got out of his car in the middle of a major road, to have some fisticuffs with you, because you passed him on a dual carriageway?

Happens all the time

Similar has happened to me - Merc SL500, sat at traffic lights and a couple of meatheads in a rusty old Cavalier try to hose me off at the lights (I think; something upset them when I set off - I did hear them squealing the tyres). After that I wasn't really noticing them, but the blokes ego obviously took a huge knock, and next thing he's followed me, flashing lights, screaming, purple with rage, cut in front of me at the next of lights and him and his mate get out. A quick getaway ensued and I drove off to the local police station.

I had done nothing; never seen them before at all - first thing I knew was when I saw the irate knuckle dragger in my mirror.

Every day i am loosing faith in humantiy.

Where do these people come from?

[philmots]

I had one go mental at me, think it was the L200 one, in black.

Car 1, 40mph dawdler. Car 2, Angry L200 man, Car 3, me.

Road bends slightly round to the left onto a long straight...

http://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=53.824874,-1.2954&amp...

L200 has his indicator on to overtake before he got onto the straight.. Straight is completely clear so he pulls out to overtake.

I follow him past dawdler then pass him too when he pulls back in.

Que, lights flashing, arms waving, wker signs and everything between. LOL

Probably one of these diesel drivers who feels the 1000rpm torque band and thinks he's got the fastest thing on the road.

[Otispunkmeyer]

Last time I saw one of these being driven stupidly... the guy decided a hand brake turn around a set of traffic lights (with peds standing on the traffic island waiting to cross) was a damn sight better than doing an illegal U-turn or simply going into the cinema parking lot to turn around. Absolute nonce.

My mates got a Mitsubishi L200 warrior thing, but as he is an RNLI chap its a company car for driving on the beach with. He also isn't a tt.

Amazing. So it seems these scum think it is ok to overtake, yet wont allow you to do the exact same thing.

There were no AMGs or Bentleys on MBFGW - the main car employed appeared to be Porsche.

[ReaperCushions]

Same has happened to me before, simple overtake on the way home turns into an ego trip for some knuckle dragger, got followed most of the way home (I didnt go to my house, so as not to reveal where I live... you never know). Strangely this was a Volvo XC90 driver!

Eventually after about 15 minutes of driving around with him attached to my bootlid trying to get back in front of me and waving to 'offer me out' I decided to pull into the car park of the local plod station, soon got rid of him! The look on his face was priceless as he hastily did a three point turn and waved a hand up to apologise to me!

I hope he spotted me laughing my head off

The weapon of choice appeared to be stretch Limos to me... complete with pink neon lighting, crystal door handles and hen night vomit stains on the upholstery. Still, I'm no expert on these things so you may well be right.

Probably thought you might be an off duty policemen - bet you turning in there gave him the shock of his life as the colour drained from his cheeks

People often speed up next to me as they don't consider a 171cc step-through scooter should be going faster than them. I just sail past them at the next queue anyway, tossers.

I drive a BIG 110 and no one overtakes me............... much

not much overtakes me in the tdi landy either, in fact its everything, oh no, milk floats and cars turning right are easy prey for the power of the tdi.

lets be honest it doesn't seem to take much to upset someone on the road these days, on the rare occasion I pass something on my way into or home from work, they always seem to speed up. i sit and easily catch them with an indicated 65, then i may have to go a tad over the 70 mark to get past. why? what are they doing it for.

even better is the plank (and we have loads on the a130 here in Essex) who you catch and pass at 65, then 5 minutes later they sail past you at about 80, what's that all about then? people are mad or strange, in fact i think they are both

[MagicalTrevor]

The Mitsubishi Warrior and the like are just another vehicle on the list of things to avoid. Along with the Xsara Picasso and 1.9TDi Audi rep cars (I'm not an Audi hater, just generalising)

[Vladimir]

Those pumped up pickups with hilarious semi S&M names like "intimidator" do seem to attract complete goons. As classy as a staffy chained to a double axle caravan.

[RB Will]

My Pickup is even bigger, got a Dodge Ram quad cab. On the way to work this morning I stopped when I saw a disabled woman had managed to beach her mobility scooter on the crappy roadworks near my house.
Being a powerfully built company director with a healthy beard I got out and lifted her scooter clear of the obstruction.
Us pickup drivers are not all tts.

Maybe it should be 'drivers of Japanese pickups are tts'

I drive down that road a few times a week and had a similar experience with exactly the same model car...

Although this was on the A449 heading towards kiddiminster. Pulled right on in front of me (he lost traction pulling out he attempted to pull out so fast on a wet greasy road)

I was already on the breaks as i was heading down hill but had to apply a considerable amount more pressure (old car no ABS) locked up and almost slid into the back of him.

He instantly got aggressive when i gave him a toot of the horn and stopped in the middle of the road and opened up his door.

Then headed on towards that A road you were on.

[busta]

None of this happens in Norfolk, yet every second car is a double-cab pickup.

[Jimmy No Hands]

I over took somebody on the M606 a few years ago, very late at night. He was dawdling so I shot past and instantly he was up my arse full beams on etc etc. stop at the lights, he's infront, and no word of a lie gets out of his car with a baseball bat. Starts heading towards me and I just.. Did nothing really. Was too shocked. He looked like an absolute mad man. I contemplate just putting my foot down and buggering off but he gets back into the car when the lights change and goes on his way.



What. The, fk. I tell this story a lot and everyone calls me a bull stter. It was very random.

Especially if you drive a small, classic or both car.
