When the road's long, straight and there are no obvious obstacles, I'll slot into secondary. Never had any problems with idiots in those situations.
Recently though, I've been finding that sometimes primary isn't even defensive enough for my own safety. Just outside work, on the access road between the car park and the entrance onto the main road, I'm being overtaken by idiots as the road bends left. For some reason they all seem to want to get to the roundabout ahead a few seconds before me. And they're overtaking when I'm in primary, on a corner, and leaving me with inches. As I try to move left before they make contact as they swerve in early, they keep moving closer until they almost have me against the kerb and I'm forced to slam on the brakes to avoid death.
Stupid woman in a people-carrier the other day was the latest offender. She pretended not to even see me when I pulled alongside her at the entrance to the roundabout and we waited for a gap and I shouted "That was a very stupid move - you nearly hit me !"
I need a camera so I can tell myself the reg number like Magnatom, and then report them at work the next day for the disciplinary offense of driving dangerously on company premises...
