Wink please re read your highway code !

Hi all

Not "darkened your doors" for a while . hope you are all well.

had a potentialy nasty incident on deeping bypass this morning when a green mk1 Sport cut me up and according to my family gave me "the finger" please please I don't want to enter a wall pi$$ing contest but sorry son your car is not quicker than mine (unless that flat bonnet hides a monster) and you actions were silly and dangerous. so at the very least learn to operate your indicators if intending to overtake (acelerating from 90mph !!) aproching a roundabout stuffed with trucks when intending to go straight on (with a single carriageway exit full of traffic) .
I indicated and moved to the right hand lane (only to see you lurching about as I did so) because I was turning right to Stamford and was in a moderate hurry.

Nice car mate but if you wish to live long enough to have a nicer one then learn a few rules .

I thankyou for your time and and like I say do not want a contest just to give a wise warning . Hope you made your destination in one piece

Those Sport drivers give us Turbo guys a bad name....

Sorry to hear your grievance mate....

Sometimes I wonder what all the rush is about.

Sounds like he had something to prove to me.

I get this from loads of different types of cars, it seems they HAVE to pass me, at all costs. And i will just be pootling along minding my own business. I think its just so they can lay in bed at night and think "I passed an Impreza today"

(Oh, and by the way, i drive a Sport, but i have both feet firmly on the ground and dont have a chip on my shoulder)

Hmm I actually find less people try and get round me in a Scoob than in the 405 mi16 I used to have or the 205 mi16.

Some idiot overtook me in the 205 in a 30 just to prove a point (not sure what point?!) and I caught him straight back up and had to overtake him once out of the speed limit. Some people.
