Passive Aggressive Drivers

[BlasterBates]

Verbal abuse law

The maximum penalty for the offence under section 5 is a fine of £1,000, while someone could be sent to prison for up to six months or be fined up to £5,000 for the offences under sections 4 or 4A.

So 6 months in prison for the next offender.

So admission of doing 90mph? Isn't the fine, under the rules, Crucifixion? As long as its just the first offence....

Maybe they just know you

Some people do not like being over taken, it's all a game in their heads.

My favourite are the ones that speed up when you overtake and you end up dueling for miles. They were quite happy sticking to 70 then all of a sudden they're doing 90??

175% of weekly wages, which for MF will be less than fixed penalty ...

he wasn't shaking his hand it was suffering from a localised earth quake.

Strange in 30 years of driving I have had about 5 instances when people have got upset with me, mainly Beamer & Audis. You have 2 in a week, chill out!

So pop down this morning to work, on the M3 where it's gone to two lanes. Totally open road, just me and a merc ahead. I'm doing about 90mph, he's doing about 80mph. It takes a minute for me to reach him, I indicate pull out and slowly go past, an he's giving me the ****** sign!!!! Again, really passive aggressive, not looking at me, just giving me the sign!!!!

So again, I slow down, pull aside and stare at him. He then looks across, smiles and so I give him the sign back. He then bricks it and accelerates trying to keep in front, but then amazingly does it again!!!

WTF!!!

I then just sat behind him for the next 20 miles, not over taking this time and matching his speed, until eventually he bricked it and did a quick maneveur off the road.

Now I don't mind a ruck, a lot of people don't. But if someone overtakes me I don't sit there giving people handsigns. If you did that in a pub you'd get knocked out, so I don't know why some pricks feel obliged to do that in their car.

What's wierd is, it's only started since I got the new car. I don't remember anyone doing it when I overtook them in my old piece of tulip.

My advise is that you a) calm down and b) read the highway code.

Your driving is dangerous and illegal.

You say you've got children - if so, your setting a fine example - you want them driving the way you do when they are 17/18?

Grow up.
