Hilarious episode with a beemer

[craigwend]

On my 'drive' home from work tonight (it's okay I'll be on bike tomorrow ! ) as I was travelling through a local village which has a speed limit of 20mph (which I observe - much to the annoyance of drivers behind who tend to slow down to about 30-ish from the previous & impending 40mph) ...

Anyway a white car, In my estimation was coming at 'some speed' through the village & ended up 'tail-hogging' me out of the village ,

Even after I 'acutely sped up' to the 40mph limit, for the next couple of miles on the 'bendy - windy' road ( I did pull away on corners - advantage of small wheel base car) said white car was still up my ...

Eventually on the first (un)safe straight it overtook me at 'well over the 40mph' & continued to pull away at some rate ...

Blooming Volvo / taxi drivers!


Dear Marjorie should I have chased after him ?

On Scotswood Road, try driving at 30 after it reduces from 50 on the dual carriageway and then try getting into and keeping to the right hand lane, to turn right down to the Arena... you'll see some of the worst intimidation ever experienced from [probably very reasonable] people.

We could introduce a 'priority a droite' type system, a gauche natch - stop the speed merchants thinking they're right.
