[QUOTE 3208768, member: 30090"]I smell BS, regarding the estimation of speed and your claim only to see him at the last minute. I've had many a car driven past me at speed, a sound mirror check will give way to good judgement if you was to impede the other road user by changing lanes.[/QUOTE]
No BS on the speed, he was flying when he went past me, substantially in excess of the national speed limit. I am very happy to admit I should have shoulder checked again and I would have probably been able to estimate how fast he was going. I didn't and wrongly assumed others (as the majority of drivers around me were) would slow as the directed to by the repeated warning matrices, reducing the speed, indicating workers in the middle of the road and the lane closures. Also whatever speed he was going at is that an excuse to get out of your car and try to smash your way into someone elses?
