Yes, I did it again, had a go at somebody for being an idiot, this time fogs and sidelights on whilst it was bright enough for me to still need sunglasses on yesterday, it was a nice black Zafira. So he got my main beam flashed on him 5-6 times. Next thing I know he pulls in. Great I think! Maybe he's going to look to see what's wrong with his car to find out why I flashed him. But no, he swings his car around (U-turn - VERY wide road coming up to Nottingham ring road) and starts coming up the hill after me.
I think "why do this always happen to me?!" so I have to then go the opposite way as usually at the roundabout (traffic lights the other way - worried he would get me there) and this time, I had learnt my lesson, no speeding, just knowing that if i am doing 30 and he is doing 50, he might catch me but he can't do anything else. I took the first left and then went down a tight road of speed bumps heading towards Hyson Green police station in anticipation that this guy was serious. After a few more turns (which made me know the U-turn wasn't a coincidence) he just sat at the top of this long road whilst I went down it over the speed bumps a little too quickly and did nothing.
I worried at this point, does he intend to go around and cut me off or something? He just sat there for 10 seconds, then reversed back out of the road and went off somewhere. Needless to say I kept moving away from where he would have been and went a very long way home!
Maybe he wanted to know why I flashed him? Who knows. I wasn't sticking around to find out, the sort of person who has his fogs on etc. in that light isn't the sort of person I want to advise on such a matter. I also had a women behind me in traffic (a much softer target
) who was sat on her phone for ages behind me (not just in traffic, but that's when I had chance to tell her to get off it). Why do people driving very expensive cars think that their phone call is worth more than my safety and they can't even be bothered to spend a fiver on a cheap handsfree kit!?!
So I reckon now having participated in 2 get away drives, I can offer myself up for hire
I have really got to stop my "you're invincible attitude"! All it takes is some idiot with a knife at traffic lights and I don't see any more lights
