Funny actually...

Today coming back from MosselBaai (Will post pics on another thread) we had the same thing but with a very shiny new BMW 330i. We were doing about 145km per hour as it was already and he decided to overtake and then swerve in front of us narrowly missing the car in front of us resulting in our grille being a few inches from his @ss.

Now my father would have none of this behaviour.  :smug: So as the BMW overtook the car in front my dad went at the same time and evertook the car and the BMW. Naturally BMW drivers are noobs (mean no offence to a BMW driver reading this, most of them are... :rolleyes:) and he decided I cant have a "golf" come past me and tried to follow. I was shocked naturally. Mt dad floored the GTI and he floored his BMW.

At 210km per hour (I think it was) the wife was freaking out and the BMW was battling to keep up. From nowhere the BM had a sudden burst of power and came past only just managing it (the road was a straight) and in the road there was a sharpish turn and the BMW with legendary bodyroll etc had to slow down slightly whereas we went flying around on his outside :evil: :drool:

Might I tell you he didnt pass us again....

So for those who like to take advantage of our "Golfs" beware :shocked:

lol complete tool !

If there was traffic infront you, I would have just sat there as you cant go any faster, would wind him up even more.

Wash your screen (especially If you've got headlamp washers)... it's like chucking a bucket of water over the tw4t behind. Guaranteed to pi55 them off discretely. Mind you, I did it to a chav on a rev-and-go moped in traffic once and nearly caused him to come off as I hadn't noticed he had his visor up. Felt pretty bad for a while :wink:

Yeah but sometimes its the other way around, your'll get some n0b sat in the fast lane in there big car  not overtaking anything, but because there car cost £40,000 and they are doing 70 its ok. God they do my head in.  :angry:

Exactly... I do 300 miles commute a day and can't stand it when some t055er thinks their dad built the motorway and decideds to overtake on the outside lane at 60mph... worst culrpits are vans.

Not all of them, especially if it is a MB Sprinter, cause they go like fcuk.

What we really need to do is BAN, permanently, all vehicles with more than 5 seats, all vehicles over 1.5m tall (that will stop fcuking "people" carriers, which never usually have more than one person in them!), all car-derived vans, and any other "undesireables" from lane three of the m-ways.

Furthermore, all commercial vehicles, along with anything towing - should be restricted to lane one only, between the hours of 06:00 to 22:00, and completely banned on Sundays on m-ways.  This works in Germany, and with the exception of the Sunday ban, also works in France.

Oh, and scrap the m-way speed limit, but with some notable exceptions near certain danger hot spots.

Oi !!!!  I ride a fecking motorbike too, and get mighty pissed off with a liberal dosing of alcohol based screenwash, even if it does smell of lemon!  :shocked:
