Got the wxxxxxs sign for overtaking on slip road
 

Laughing alot now, roundabout to join the dual carriage way by my house. Follow some merc mini people carrier thing round it, accelerate to pass on the 1/4 mile two lane slip road. I can see him doing the same, there can only be one winner and its me by about 10 car lengths, join dual carriageway look in mirror and matey is sat behind gesticulating and pointing towards the hard shoulder ....... Ok fair enough, I pull into layby 300yards up the road, have a few words with eachother, none of them repeatable on here, he gets back in his car shaking physically and drives off .......

Normally I wouldnt have stopped but that revved me up as I had done nothing wrong ..... The world is full of dipsticks .....

gary

a bloke in an A class merc...............?

Thanks for sharing that Gary :confused:

Just amazed me thats all .....

So what did he think you had done wrong?

I am assuming the slip road had 2 lanes?

Not uncommon.
 

I too have had the flashy lights thing after overtaking quite safely on a two lane slip road. Then repeated on the motorway. Thought there must be something wrong with my car as otherwise the behaviour seemed completely illogical. Exited at the next junction but couldn't see anything :confused::rolleyes:

If he'd have beaten the crap out of you with a lead pipe and prevented you from delivering my tea bags to me next week I'd have beaten the crap out of you with a lead pipe :mad: Stopping and getting out was stupid :nono:

Yes it has two lanes davyboy, top of my road joining the A303, you know the one .... about where the flat tyre which cost you £500 became apparent :D
No logical explanation just a load of abuse about overtaking on a slip road ....

Karl sometimes the foo foo valves goes and there is no stopping it. Much the same as you with Fritz the ice cream seller.

Yes but Fritz had a 99 with a flake, I had a pool cue :D

...I know the place :(

The same may happen to me, but by the time I join the main carriage way I'm too far ahead to see if their gesticulating or not :D

Well I'm sorry Gary, but you are clearly at fault and deserve a good dressing down!!! :nono: :nono: .

I mean, overtaking a Merc, what were you thinking!!:lol1: Don't you know, drivers of humble cars must NEVER have the audacity and bare-faced cheek to try and get in front of a Merc!! Honestly, what's the world coming to!?!? ;) :D :D

I'd like to tell you what the owner of an A Class shouted at me during a perfetly safe overtaking move on an A road the other day but 1) I was gone too quickly 2) Hard to hear abuse over a H&S exhaust! :lol1:

Still, all is well that ends well: he concluded his outburst by offering me a cocktail when we chanced upon each other at a set of lights later in the day........at least, I think that's what he was gesticulating! :lol1:

Why did you get out? That's pretty daft. The best thing to do would have been to pull in, let him get out, march over to your window and drive off waving to him!

I will over take in either lane on slip road (joining motorway), if I judge the other persons speed innsufficient to join motorway safely.
If they flash I mostly ignore it.
Would not bother getting out and try to explain there lack of ability to drive. I'm not taking the risk (Police force is for that), And not wasting the fuel on them !

Sometimes your body overtakes your brain im afraid ...... 100 people could tell me not to do it again but on the wrong day in the wrong situation and its gonna happen.......You dont walk away from every arguement you get into do you?

Besides if he whacked me I would be in for a few quid as it would be assault :D :D

No, I run :lol1:

What car were you in Gary?

agree with the waiting til he came to your window, then leg it, waving your own cocktail shaker at him.

but just make sure you dont
a)run out of fuel 1/2 mile down the road
b)get caught out lights further down the road

as he might be in better mood.
some ppl are just plain ass-holes..no better explanation

Dont worry, if he looked like an ape when he got out of his car I would have been on my way again. Im stupid but not suicidal....

same as yours but a better one DW :D :D

Oooooooooooo handbags out :D LMAO!!! ;)

LOL you should come over here to Merc central!! I rip em all the time and there is feck all any of em can do about it :D :D :D

:thumb:
Careful you don't run into an AMG or Brabus tuned V12 bi-turbo though!! :eek: :D

I should read more carefully. He was in the Pug at a guess.

that sort of thing happens to me on the motorway, i'm flying in the outside, have to slow down sharply as some numpty generally isnt using the rear view mirror, without me flashing them or anything they pull in and swear at me as i fly past. my point is WHY?!!

If they are going to get upset about being overtaken, the answer is simple. BUY A FASTER CAR!!!

LOL :D

Mine works now, and it twice as fast as a naff std one ;)

Brilliant :D

:cool: :D

But can you drive it DW :D :D

why overtake if you then have time to prat about on the hardshoulder?

cant belive a) you gave his flashing a secoonds thought and B) you got out....what possible good come of that?
