    What were you doing in South London? Punting?

      My normal response to someone behind like that is to slowly drift over the the right side of lane 3 and over the white line....

      As soon as the front of their car starts getting peppered with stones and all sorts of other crud, I find they drop back fairly rapidly.

        Cherokee? Surprised it didn't flip over following his dodgy maneuver!

          The Cherokee was probably hacked and being controlled by a 14 year old in Florida.

            My view is - why bother.
            Some other idiot is probably just having a bad day. By challenging them you're just lowering yourself to their level.
            Give it up and live another day - with your car in once piece.

                Would never risk driving without a dashcam. I went around a bend that was like 150 degrees at night the other day. Crawled around quite slow because I am a sensible driver. Drunken idiot on his bike with no lights wearing all black on the wrong side of the road turning the bend. Was able to stop before I crushed him due to my slow speed.

                Dashcam caught it all, and would have helped had I ran over the stupid idiot.

                And that was going 5 mins up the road to the shops.

                Definitely recommended.

                    Did you tick this option when you ordered your car?
