Richard head on the M56!

**Brocks** · 16th August 2007, 07:55

The M56 was busy but not too busy.(wasn't it steve) As I crossed the M6 a knod Head in a laguna tanked up the inside lane Undertaking cars I was overtaking. He pulled into the middle lane and I noticed a Megane had closed right up on me from behind. Something was a foot. Anyway the traffic slowed and the gap infront closed to about the length of a Laguna plus 1 inch. when that gap was along side the said Laguna he just pulled infront of me. No indicators, He just swerved. So the horn came on in the Vectra. I couldn't brake cause of the the Megane.

A few miles up the road he pulls in again and I go to pass him....but he does it again. 1 inch of stopping distance and a Megane up me ****. Exercised the horn and lights cause they needed airing and just got back a load of gestinculation!

For the first time in me life I was itching to get out and punch someone. Anyway he eventually pulled in undertook a couple of cars and did the samething to another for sole and another and another.

I really wish there was soemthing I could do about this but I know the poice won't be able to do anything as its me word against his etc.

I don't think this often but I really hope this idiot does himself some damage and/or looses his liscence. I reckon his name is RICHARD HEAD!!!!

RANTS OVER!!!!!

Saw one today.

Pulling off the southbound M1 at J21 to go right onto M69.

It's a 3 lane slip road, left lane goes left to Leicester and the other 2 go right to M69.
This STUPID person sat in the middle lane indicating right to try to get into the right hand lane (which was completely blocked with traffic tailing back from the lights at the bottom of the slip road). So a long blast on the horn from me, and a gesticulation to continue moving (Before they got stoooofed up the rear), only to be met back with other handsigns from the female "driver" and co-idiot.

I have seen far too many incidents to tolerate this behaviour. The thing that really made my day was that she clearly had no idea what she was doing, or that is was a STUPID thing to do. The large van in front of me had to take avoiding action to miss.

Some people should be forced to re-take their test.

Yesterday was my day for idiots.
Coming north on the M1, I was passing J13 when I noticed a truck joining with an Astra close behind it. I was in the middle lane, and the outside lane was full. I had one of those premonitions you get and started losing some speed, and then it happened -the Astra dived out in front of me, to pass the truck. the driver looked mildly surprised at the site of someone behind with their face plastered against the windscreen.
I managed to get past, then, as I left at J14 she (for it was a she) went breezing past in heavy rain and thick spray. No lights on..............

I though the title was refering to me!!

Bloomin' typical that the first time we get the cars on the same piece of tarmac I'm running on fumes at 59 mph. Had to divert off in the end.

As per text mate your car just looks fabulous.

Thanks steve. Did you make it to Lyme services?

Same thing happened to me coming up the M1 this woman in a big Jeep cherokee undertook me & tried it on, she failed on the 1st attempt miserably, unbeaten she undertook me again & forced me to brake hard to miss the biatch. A mile further on she pulled out the way as she was leaving the m-way at the next junction, impatient cow, she was given the archers finger V on the way past from all on board

We've just got back from reading and a poor Audi A6 2.7 TDI couldnt get past me... bless.

I kept pulling over to the middle lane... but its legs just werent strong enough... arrrrrh

So I took my foot off the beans, before we reached 'take off' speed, and let him past as I felt sorry for him... most frustrated he was

as he sailed off into the sunset looking for a tuning box !!

Had a little race with a salesman in a Golf 2.0TDi yesterday myself. About 80 miles worth of a race, I left him in a cloud of smoke 6 times, totally outbraked him into roundabouts 3 times, and it took him 2 miles to catch up with me when I left him behind going on to the motorway.

All because he decided he was going to try to undertake me a number of times in roadworks, nearly ramming the people infront of him. I got infront and stayed there.

If I was "racing" fine I'd have mysekf to blame. I was just cruising with the traffic but this guy was obviously more important.

Ah, the joys of motorway driving, don't you just love it.

Oh how I long to own my Dad's old Discovery, HUGE bullbars on the front, nothing EVER cut us up in that thing.
