Idiot BMW driver
Discussion
This just happened to me. I was driving down a dual carriage way in the outside lane doing about 70mph about to overtake two trucks. The rear truck pulls out to over take the one in front, first truck doing 60mph second doing 61mph
, so basically blocking both lanes.
I ease off the throttle and slow to 61mph and wait for them to complete their maneuver leaving more than adequate braking distance
. Modern BMW drives up behind me in the outside lane then untertakes me 
and pops back into the outside lane in front of me and sits 2 foot of the rear of the truck
.
And that achieved exactly what
.
I must admit the jeuvenile in me took over
so when the truck pulled in I nailed it
, I was all over him till ..cough ahem cough cough
when I let him go
as I value my licence to much

You've just got to laugh. What goes through the mind of these morons? Always seems to be a BMW, too.... Coincidence??
No coincidence. It's widely known that BMW drivers generally drive like tw@ts, never use the indicators, cut you up, are middle lane morons, tailgaters and never let you out of a side road.
How do I know all this, well from the bastion of knowledge that is Bruciebabe.
Mind you he also said that smoking is inversely proportionate to intelligence and education and makes you look like a chav

just out of interest can the police do anything to you if you say you were speeding on a fourum like this or do they have to catch you in the act
I don't think anywhere he has actually said he was breaking the speed limit.
May have given that impression, but no admission of an actual law-breaking speed.
I'd just like to point out (as a BMW driver), that I usually finder porker drivers to be the worst.
They speed ridiculously. (I was cruising away at 75mph and had one shoot past me so quickly, it felt like I was doing 75 in reverse).
They cut people up all the time.
They slide across the lanes as if there were no other cars and they drive up your backside like they were attached by a tow bar to your car.
Yes. Porkers are bad.
But come to think of it, so are Ford, most 4x4's, Lotus's, Mercs, VW's, and pretty much any other car manufacturer.......

Beanbag, you've obviously not learnt that Porsche drivers DO own the road and do not put up with chavs in BMWs or other lowlife in cheap and awful cars getting in our way. It is after all the porsche highway!!!!
JMGS4, porsche driver, no we don't all drive like twunts!
So you should either have spotted what the BMW driver was planning to do and closed the gap thus removing the opportunity or left him to go about his sad life. No point in getting cross once he's in front of you. One brake test and you're guilty of crashing into him.
Commuting down the A404 from Wycombe to Bisham I often play 'close the door on the impatient pillock'. Sit in lane 2 in the queue and watch in the mirror for when cars nip into lane one for a quick hop and a skip past a few cars. Close the door on them when they think the gap in front of you is for the taking. I even drop back and lure them in for the closure sometimes. Well it keeps me entertained anyway... (all this is at 2-5mph btw).

Exactly.
I must be the spawn of the devil having owned 2 BMWs and now drive a Porsche.
