The angriest you've ever made a driver?

3am on the M1 - nice and quiet. I approached a black Fiesta in lane 1 and overtook it. As I went to overtake, the Fiesta started to match my speed. I decided to pull back in behind the Fiesta. Said Fiesta then started to slow down, at which point I overtook. The Fiesta then overtook me in return, pulling in front of me before braking hard. I was forced to over take... this continued until both vehicles were pretty much at a crawl. The Fiesta eventually exited the motorway.

I still don't know what I did to annoy him/her.

Rather than being 'bullied', you increased the chance of an accident happening. No wonder the youth of today have sky-high insurance prices with people like you on the carriageways.

No, I refuse to be the victim of someone overtaking me on a single lane road, this is more dangerous to me!

In this thread we share our amusing stories in which we annoyed other drivers.

Fire away!

Mine: speeding behind someone, they had to go faster, they pulled to the side and gave rude signals (i.e. to symbolize "up yours" and the w-word) a high number of times. I responded by laughing.

Some "drivers" (I use the quotes because they plainly shouldn't be out driving) are extremely averse to being overtaken, it offends their pride or something. I was with my Dad on the M40 at night last year and he was doing the usual fairly high speed on that road on a quiet motorway. We passed a guy in a posh car, it was a Bentley I think, he had been cruising at a low speed, around 50. He immediately speeded up and passed us, then slowed right down in front of us, very dangerously. We dropped back and he did the same. He then sat right behind us and every time we attempted to move away from him, repeated the above. He did this all the way to the Oxford exit from near London. My Dad called the police but as far as we know, nothing happened. His attitude was "don't overtake my car".

Crazy. The funny thing was, the driver (like the one in your case) was driving at a fairly low speed.

I was just emailing with Dad about this and he says his theory is that some people are determined to "prove" that their car is unbeatably fast, whilst at the same time driving very slowly as a sign that they hold those who want to drive fast in contempt - it's heirarchical, dominance behaviour. He also has a theory that some people try to "police" the roads, attempting to punish drivers they think are going to fast, etc.

Interesting theories and I think they both have merit.

On the second one, there was a TV program years ago (some sort of 'Police, Camera, Action' thing) where a motorist was going around telling other drivers off who she deemed to have done wrong. She would literally pull in front of them and to stop their vehicle before jumping out to educate them on the dos and don'ts of lane discipline etc.

Me and some friends were once on the M6 on our way to blackpool. We were chucking cans at other folk and later when we got a flat tire we realised that someone had chucked the jack out about 5 miles back up the road. So we made the **** go get it back.

'sup?

One of your friends threw a car jack out of the window?

I'd love to see you with an ASBO, it'll be hilarious.

Yeah. We all a bit drunk and were heading over there for a fight. We picked up these hitchhikers and us in the back were telling them dirty jokes and fingering them so we didnt notice when pete threw the jack at some ****.

When I'm PM you will have an ASBO for advocating the Robin Hood tax.
