As I turned into High Halden Road I noticed there was a car behind me. About five yards behind me with headlights on full beam. This car followed me at a distance of five yards for the best part of a mile, finally overtaking on a rather narrow blind corner. This car (GF67 PWL) then flew off up the lane going far too fast to be able to stop should anyone emerge from the side road.
I was traveling along down great lime road coming from forest Hall and towards west moor. it happened on thurs 22nd march 2018 around 4.35pm-4.45pm. A dark metallic red /burgandy nissan qashqai was driving in the other direction in the lane next to me driving into the main bit of forest hall. both lanes came to a stop as there was traffic. the qashqai g18apw was quite a distance in front of me on the opposite side and she was approaching sambuca's bar. a black range rover who i think might be the owner as its often there, needed to be off the pavement at the front of sambucas. the range rover had already started to pull off and turn with their indicating on and the qashqai could have left them out onto the main road. instead the qashqai continued to pull forward and blocked the pavement when the range rover was positioned. the qashqai driver was female with dark blonde mousey hair and looked about 35-40 year old. she looked like she was in a complete daze in a world of her own like she had blinkers on. i first thought she had blocked the range rover on purpose to be spiteful but its possible that she didnt even notice them trying to get out onto the road, she was in her own little world. she just kept looking forward. the traffic started moving on her side again and she moved forward and the range rover and just enough room to pull out onto the road. the person behind the qashqai was nice enough to let the range rover pull out after sitting for ages. the female in the qashqai then started looking down at something, quickly looking up all while she was still rolling forwards. she then kept braking sharp to avoid hitting the car in front of her and her qashqai started bunny hopping like she was going to stall.. My line started moving slowly so i pulled off. i was watching her keep looking down and up continuously as she moved forward. As she got almost level with my bonnet, she started drifting towards my car and drivers wing. she then looked up suddenly and realised she was drifting and tried to correct her car. by this time her front wheel was almost over the centre line. I had my friend's 13 yr old daughter in the car with me and she panicked and thought we were going to crashed into. i had to swerve left a bit but had hardly any room because of the curb and the parked cars a few feet ahead on my side. she straightened up the car but looked at me and shook her head as if i was in the wrong. she didnt have passengers yet i had an anxious young girl with me. i dont know how she passed her test as she cant even concentrate on the road and when she did she ended up blocking someone from leaving the pavement. very careless and needs to pay more attention to whats going on than sitting in a dreamworld.
