I'll have to watch out for this guy as the Parkway is the dual carriageway into good old Sheffield.

I know that junction, but still can't figure out how someone was coming the other way :undecided:

Nice car though!  :grin:

I had someone roll out of a junction without looking right infront of me. As I slowed down so did he. I then flashed my lights for him to speed up and he just ground to a holt, then got out and started and screaming and shouting! i obviously took off my seat belt and got ready to show him who his daddy is! I didnt think he realised how big I was and they started telling me about how he has a kid in his car and that i should calm down. I told him where to go... and thankfully he did!

Some people are just born stupid..

Yeah, I know what you mean.

The other week I was travelling along the main road and it turns into a one way system part way along. Some D!ckhead in a Corsa was parked on one side of the road waiting for some bint to get into the car and a bus was stood at the stop on the other side. Bear in mind that this is a one way street and I am on it - I pass between the Corsa and the Bus and as I do so a stupid b!tch in a Focus ST pulls out onto the road from a junction right at the side of me. I swerved to avoid her and obviously ended up in front of her. There was no way I could have avoided her any other way other than swerving as I was literally next to her when she pulled out. The missis was also in the car at the time and suddenly said that the focus was right up my chuff. I looked in the rear view and sure enough there was this b!nt flicking the finger, flashing her lights and 2" from my rear bumper. I turned up the next main road and she followed still doing the same. I slowed right down to a snails pace as I knew she had no room to pass and just sat there doing 10mph to deliberately p!ss her off. I thought she was having a fit, she was obviously swearing her head off and I could see she was as red as a tomato as she was that near to me. Anyway I got fed up of getting my own back by being captain slow and nailed it - left her for dead and even now she must be wondering if she has bought a dud of a motor :evil: Still can't believe that she nearly ran into me AND THEN GOT HACKED OFF WITH ME!!!!!! :angry:

Haha!! I think thats the best thing about having a nice quick car... I dont usually want to steep down to their level. but thats the best thing to do... Just slow down and show them that they arnt going to get there any quicker!

And if they try to go past.. give it some!  :grin: Must have been a joy to do it to an ST too.. What a bonus!! :laugh:

Seems to be alot of agressive dick heads driving around there in Focus ST's at the minute.  Especially now they have fallen into the sub £13k bracket used.  Just pull over and let them have their way. Not worth getting points on your licence over.

140 on british roads?? :rolleyes: hmm yes i hope I dont meet you on the road!

on the intial topic, I think road rage incidents are getting more regular, these people are dangerous and while I find it hard at times not to react the best thing we should all try to do is ignore any over reaction..

I never over react :rolleyes:

I simply figure out the best Passive way to get up their nose and apply it :evil:

If it ever got down to having to stop and get into some kind of "personal interaction" I am VERY good at that too :smug: which is why I try never to do it.
