Very Rude Women Driver

[Boggy]

Picked up my Son Luis from Tesco's in Pitsea this Saturday and whilst driving back along the A13 (I drive this journey every Saturday) came up alongside a Ford Ka (Light Blue 03) Attempted to move into the over taking lane and they floored their car causing me to slow down, {Now I could have floored it and cut in front) But I waited for them to overtake the 3 Car's then followed waiting for them to pull over into the inside lane, (Nothing just sitting their in the outside lane, I flashed my light's to signal that I wanted to pass and then they started to pull Sign's at both me and my 9 Year old son. I was furious I'd been patient and considerate and now what turned out to be a couple of tattoo covered girl's (Well if you could call them Girl's) giving be load's of abuse, I slammed on my brake's and attempted to ask them why they were calling me name's they wouldn't even look at me. Now I didn't brake in front of them or cut them up or cause them any issue but they decided that I was in the wrong and shouted out abuse, If they carry on like that god only thow's what will end up happening to them, totally unacceptable behaviour

Some very Rude people out there im afraid.

You can be 100% certain the fact you slowed and tried to talk with them put the sh-its up them, hence the ' we are ignoring you' bluff.

Most low life are nothing but impotent bullies when push comes to shove. Sad that women want to join in the 'little dick ' thing, but there you go.

And some polite ones, a bloke in a white van let me out to overtake a lorry (when he didn't have to) just after I got on the A47 this morning. So much for the stereotype!

[Boggy]

Not really worth worrying about,

I'd still stop and help out if they'd broke done etc, two wrong's don't make a right.

Thanks for the reply's guys

Some people do make me laugh, they think that they are completely safe in their little metal box. Silly silly women. Hope the car is going okay Stu.....

Report abusive driving its the only way to get the message across that its unacceptable. I know there'll be no prosecutions but the more reports of it there are the more seriously it will be taken and the more likely is is to stop

Boggy,
Take consolidation that you behaved properly in spite of thier stupidity. It is a lot harder to be a gentleman and often undervalued.

To thy'n own self, be true.

I actually did report a chap who threatened to smash my head open on the Old Kent Rd, to the police station at Lewisham, and to their credit they traced him and paid him a visit for a talking to, so it can be worth it.

Two chavettes in a Corsa get flashed by (in their mind) some "young oik in a Ferarri". Are you surprised at their response? I wouldn't have been. Unfortunately in this country people envy others for having nice things and those who are irritated by the fact they haven't got something you have makes you a target.

Cattle prod... that's the answer!

I have to on the most agree with you sir, I get more positive response than negative so that's a good thing. The most irritating was the fact that they abused me in front of my Son and I try to set him an example to follow

Yup... and they are (mostly) more polite when driving the Elise than in my old T-Sport. Even BMW drivers would pull into the vacant inside lane so that I could pass them in the middle lane. in fact all i got were smiles waves and courtious drivers.. except the Clio that was tailgating me at 60 less than a cars length between us and wouldnt overtake no matter how bit the gap ... My car does have a pretty bottom though

I got the finger today on my way home, I was at Sutterton (AKA "Burger King" ) roundabout on the A16 just outside Boston, about to pull on to the roundabout when a white 3-door L-reg Corsa came flying across my bows, cutting me up and forcing me to brake hard, the passenger (aged about 17) had his window down and as they flew past me he held his middle finger up at me and laughed. It was childish, petty jealousy - no other explanation for it

To be honest I mostly get good reactions from people - I have lost count of the number of times someone has moved over from the overtaking lane to allow me to pass them - and it's usually a nice car (today they included a 57-plate BMW X5 and a 56-plate Range Rover Sport HSE) so it goes to show that people in the know have a lot of repect for Elises. Its just the ignorant and idiots who choose to make fools of themselves.

Rant over lol

[boobles]

As both myself & probably Ducatigary would say...... Punch there lights out! (joke)

Unfortunately there are lots of arrogant (sp?) people out there, male and female. The other day I was driving home from work when someone in a 3 series blatantly cut me up and nearly took my front wing out. So I tooted and flashed to let him know I was there and he started gesticulating at me in the mirror. I tapped my forehead, as in "think!" and he started slowing down ushering me to pull over so I did. At the same time I took my fleece off so my uniform* was clearly visable, at which point he rapidly changed his mind about pulling over, put his hand up to say sorry and drove off!

• its amazing how alike a Prison Officers uniform and a coppers uniform are!

Its a fact of life that there are bad drivers out there its just a shame that most of them have no manners either.
