On the way home from the cinema on a dual carriageway with 40 limit, there is a 4x4 something or other in front of me doing about 38, so I pull out to over take.
While drawing level I glace over at the other driver and he must have had some sort of complex, along the lines of "I'll have this guy!" So he floors it, I use the term loosly as I could eaisly have caught and overtaken him, but chose not.
Just stuck at 40 and pulled back in behind him. At the next roundabout his face was a picture, he knew he'd been a total tit. I gave him a polite patronising wave and was on my way.
In my hot headed youth I would have roasted (or tried to) this guy, but now I really couldn't care less what other idiots do!
A sign of age or just experience???
