Came at speed round a blind 90° bend on the wrong side of the road, only missing smashing in to my car because I came slowly around, as I know people wrecklessly use my lane as a cut through at rush hour.
I could not move forward as she was on my side of the road and needed to reverse back to let me pass. She went to say something as I drove past and when I lowered my window I said she needed to drive a safe speed on the correct side of the road. She yelled at me that I was a ‘prick’ in front of my son...
No one should put showing off in front of their boyfriend in the passenger seat, ahead of driving safely when lives are at stake on the road.
This is the worst motorway hog I can remember seeing for many years, although after he turned off, we came across the second worst case within a few minutes.
We observed this selfish prat of a driver for about 30 miles on the westbound M62 motorway. At one point, I gave him a series of headlight flashes which he ignored or possibly failed to see.
We saw about 50 drivers overtake it on the inside, a manoeuver with which I would not normally sympathise. This and some bunching compromised our safety, although for most of the time, we followed in the second or first lane leaving about 10 car lengths gap.
His speed was generally between 65 and 75 m.p.h. As this stretch of road has numerous camera "stripes", he frequently hit his brakes, even though he was often travelling at only 70 or 71 on approach, slowing down to about 68 or 69.
The Highway Code states:
When driving along a three-lane motorway, rule 264 of the Highway Code states: “You should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear. If you are overtaking a number of slow-moving vehicles, you should return to the left-hand lane as soon as you are safely past.”
Rather than simply observe the speed limit like most of the other drivers on the motorway, this selfish cretin obviously thinks he/she is too important to take a few minutes longer getting to wherever they are going. So they exceeded the legal speed limit and braked as they reached each camera, before speeding off once again in defiance of the law.
Slightly less time to their destination, but at the expense of more fuel used, more pollution, more wear and tear on their vehicle, and more risk to the safety of themselves and others.
