Happily getting off work early at half 2, near heathrow.See a GATSO ahead, Im in the right hand lane, looking to move over, but it is a tad congested. Ddoing an indicated 49 in a 50.

Queue Silver Seat Alhambra, Flashing me, I move over...

Going through the GATSO area, Mr Seat over takes me then slam's on the brakes.over takes me again, mouthing something at me, so much so i can see he's fillings (stand out for some reason)
Cuts me up -RIGHT TO LEFT ( now on a 3 lane road after traffic lights)

I move into RH lane, as I intend to go right at next roundabout, He cuts me up L to R. Slams on he's brakes and hazards. At a standstill in the right hand lane , by now Iam panicking. Worried he's going to climb out and hit me. The traffic was clear on the left so i got to move round him. So he swerves out in front of me, then moves on.

Finally approching the roundabout. He is in middle lane, waving me past, Which i almost do, as Im about to go past, he pulls out infront of me again with wheelspin. Ccausing me and person behind to slam on brakes, not too far away from him either.

Then he looks as though he is about to get out , by now Im shouting "SORRY"
((( for wtf have i done))) and person behind me is blaring on horn too. Im glad there was plenty of people about otherwise i might be nursing a wound or worse. I wish i had got his registration and the witness to report him. Look out people.

My Vent is over. Thanks for reading.

He's obviously got a small willy and it's your fault......

I was the one mouthing obscenities yesterday - going up the A30 at Egham was cut up on a roundabout by an A class who then proceeded to use the whiteline like the power groove on a scalextric circuit... she was on the phone and completely oblivious mad

He'll do it again if he has done it this time and got away with it. And next time, it'll be a big bruiser in the car he's pissing off. And there'll be a red traffic light. And he'll be asking for his mummy.

Glad to hear you are OK. Idiots like this need taking off our roads.

Must investigate a video setup...

You just won't believe what happened to me this afternoon!

About 2pm, there I am, driving along in the Alhambra near Heathrow, minding my own business when I saw some bloke driving along with some poor sod who'd managed to get his shoelace caught in the guy's exhaust being dragged along the ground behind him! yikes

I tried everything I could to get the other driver to stop, but no luck! He just kept driving! frown By the time the unwitting passenger eventually fell loose, he was down to the bone in most places... cry
