(Sozz guys, in another of my infrequent posting moods tonight lol)

Coming off the M3 @ Jn 7 you get a single lane that merges into a tiny dual carriageway. There isn't much room to overtake before it returns to single lane again. I'd had a shitty journey home and was folowing a fiesta, a white car and a sainsbury lorry up the road, all doing about 40 mph. As we came to the dc I dropped it into 2nd, to see if I could get past the lorry before we ran out of road....damn me if the fiesta decided he wanted to play also! Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this - fair play, everyone has a right to the road etc - but this friggin fiesta must have stayed in 5th! :mad: :mad: :mad:

By the time we reached the 'keep left' arrows, he hadn't even drawn level with the rear of the white car :mad: I pulled back into the laft lane pronto, 'cos I know how little space they give you to get over. I'm afraid I was a leetle naughty and moved up behind the white car, just to get the fester worried - cos he could see his lane running out but some bitch in a 200 was in his way so he couldn't move over :rolleyes: :D :D

Eventually dropped back slightly to let him in (of course! :) )

But why oh why oh why would some tit in an under-powered car decide he could take 2 vehicles on a short stretch of dc when he had a 200 on his tail? :( :mad: People deffo need to be educated about these cars! He spoiled what little fun my journey home offered! :(

Coz they're one of the many drivers near motorways who seem to be thinking about anything but driving the car properly.
If I was in your position, I would not have let the fool in for such a dumb move!

Its the rule of the car, if you want to do something stupid you must pick on a car that is nicer than yours, that way he may get pissed but you get what you want. In a fiesta you can pick on any car on the road.

The sad thing is he probably didnt even know you were there, I've noticed how people drive with little regard for other road users and act like there the only ones on the road. I've lost count of the times I've had to take drastic action because of someone elses mistakes.:mad:
