I haven't driven more than to the shops for the past few days but today did about 30 miles and it put a new meaning to sunday drivers which really got me mad.
Firstly, was stuck behind a motorhome through a village doing 20mph for about 2 mins, there was a smallish JEEP infront and a BMW behind me. The BMW driver behind me had been swerving all over the place changing a CD so I have to say I was ready for the next bit. Left the village, national limit, next 250m odd clear, jeep indicates to pull out, i indicate to pull out, accelerate also, both of us make movements, the jeep first of course, check my mirror, the BMW is taking no prisoners and despite us being half way into the road to overtake, he overtakes all 3 of us...I mean there's no need for that, we we all going passed at a decent speed but he had to nearly force us off the road.
Just pulled out of my house, went onto Mansfield road, pull away from traffic lights and check my mirror...some guy is coming accross but there's a central reservation coming up and it's a one lane 30mph road, so he comes back. I pass the reservation, he then overtakes at no more than about 35mph as if he thought it was a dual carriage way but it was in inner city road...! He nearly glided into the next central reservation aswell as if he didnt realise what was happening!
I am telling you I have had enough of motorbikes thinking 100MPH+ on 30/40/50 limit roads is ok...it's not. I had one do it on a blind bend and forced a mercedes (which was also breaking the speed limit) to go up onto the soft verge and nearly lost it, he of course sped off.
Enough fog lights to light up the eiffle tower despite the nicer weather this evening.
On another note:
Pulling onto roundabout i was doing a decent speed and it was empty to my right really so i pulled accross, then I notice there's a Rover 75 infront, infront of that a defender which tied in with the other 2 75s behind me and a defender behind that....the 75 behind me immediately flashes me constantly so i indicate in and all 3 following cars go past - how weird!
Any one offering anger management lessons? The above shouldn't have got me so mad!
