Driver in a Renault Laguna pulls out of side road onto A30 as I approach. He had time to get a wriggle on and accelerate to to fit in to the gap but no. I had to brake to 25mph as he made no attempt to speed up. Then he brake checks me and gives me some hand gestures. Other than braking to match his speed I have done nothing to irritate this bloke, no horn, no flashing of headlights. Then the driver finds the right pedal and away we go. Look at the clag, car shouldn't even be on the road. Next he is up to around 50mph, but he swerves to the right, then left then right again. Speed drops to 40mph and we get some hand gestures before he speeds up again. At the roundabout at the end of the video, he gives me the middle finger. Lack of acceleration to start with and then subsequent behaviour suggests this was deliberate; the driver had every intention of causing me to slow down.
I was just sat in traffic behind this car. There was a long queue and we had been sat still for some time and my handbrake was on. I had something irritating me underneath one of my fingernails and I was attempting to remove it (gross, but relevant). The posh woman in this car got out and started walking towards me so I wound down my window and smiled at her thinking she has a car problem or something I could assist her with.
She proceeded to start telling me off like a naughty child because when she had looked in her mirror I 'wasn't looking through my front window'. I was taken aback and wasn't sure how to respond, but then she said something along the lines of 'I bet you were texting. You shouldn't text whilst driving, can you stop?'. As a driver awareness coach who regularly confronts people using their phone whilst driving, this frustrated me, and I quickly replied that I in fact was certainly NOT texting. I turned to my left to open my handbag and remove my phone to show her that it had been in there all along - but she had started walking back to her car moaning about me 'texting'.
I then spent the rest of the time behind her looking down (at nothing really) - just to get the full effect of her misery :) Face like a bulldog chewing a thistle.
This bomboclut drove the whole 15miles from Leicester to Loughborough slower than cars in the left lane on 4/11/16 in the right hand lane. He also cannot distinguish between green and red lights and almost murdered a schoolgirl crossing the road in front of him in Birstall. At some point you must start to wonder why cars in the left lane are driving faster than you?? Surely? Or can you not see through the thick black smoke coming out of your exhaust? Or over the steering wheel?
Local village, I'm sitting at 30 boy racer charges up behind me at about 50 and overtakes (first pic) - then a few seconds and a couple of bends later, what do we see, traffic lights and a queue of traffic (pic 2). I had to laugh saw him glaring at me in his mirror. A total turkey who shouldn't be on the road.
Awesome driver :-) really safe and calm
