Driving from Colchester to Braintree (A12) and I witness the worst driving I have ever seen.
Mr Blue Rover 25 has to get past everyone regardless of personal safety. He really was three types of the finest coffee bean. (Think, Nescafe - Gareth Hunt - hand gestures)
Ok so this is the scene. Learner at the front, then large flat bed lorry with hydraulic arm on back, white van, another flat bed lorry, cavalier, me and then to55er.
Having overtaken wildly to get behind me he then overtakes me and cavalier over hatch markings with the road bending left and no way of seeing what's coming.
Then the carriageway becomes single lane only with grass verge to the right. He now pushes past the lorry with wheels almost on the verge.
Finally as the carriageways meet again he's off past the van, other lorry and learner with the road sweeping left again and no forward visibility
I mean how do tw@ts like this keep their licences.
I really would not have believed someone could drive like this unless I hadn't seen it myself.

Lest we forget - the world's finest driver was a white Escort 90 van from Stocksbridge...
The Blob passes this guy in a fairly routine manoeuvre - on a road we both know well (indeed I know small parts of it from a very, very close distance...). 5 miles later, this complete helmet is hanging off the rear spoiler - I mean he's SO close I can't see his bonnet in the passenger mirror.
He then passes the Blob - and the two cars in front of us - whilt braking for a massive, massive roundabout, over double white lines in the path of a Yamaha R1 and Volvo V70 (the Volvo had to brake and swerve off the road).
Round the roundabout, he then procedes to harass a Hyundai Accent 1.3, before passing it - again over double white lines - doing well over 70mph in a totally GATSOed 40mph limit...
I think you must just attract them in some way...

I kid you not.
This guy made the previous nominee (ie, stocksbridge white van man) look like a candidate for the Institute of Advanced Drivers' Best Driver of the Century Award.
He was that bad.
PS. I did have a cartoon moment....
...where the little devil sits on one shoulder and says, 'Go on, chase him, then take him. Show him how it's done.'
But thankfully the little angel on my other shoulder said, 'Leave him to it. He'll probably end up killing himself.'
And it was that - and the harp playing - which won the day.

Last time I witnessed something that bad (as opposed to it being me doing the bad driving) as the ****** passed me at about 90 in a 40 I thought "how do gits like that keep their licence?"
As I came round the next bend I was greeted by the sight of matey boy being stopped by a police patrol with mobile speed trap

To continue the Nescafe theme... Now that's what I call full-flavour behaviour...
