I had one today (camera ran out of battery, unfortunately) that overtook me with maybe 2 car lengths between me and some stationary traffic. Being the stubborn git I am, overtook her and sat in front of her in the queue, until I got punishment passed... There are some right nutters out there lately

I'm just wondering if it coincides with the school holidays?

There were no kids in the car, so unfortunately we can't blame this on the mini people

Thats a pretty shocking place and time to overtake with what looks like a rather close proximity.

I nearly punched a car yesterday, and not by design. Nothing for ages and then a foreign driver (plates so I knew they werent English) ignores the fact that she has to give way to me as I head through a pinch point. She nearly smashed the front of her car into my right hand which was still on the bars.

I shouted a hell of a lot of foul language in disgust. She will be in no doubt as to her actions and the outcomes.

Have you tried to report the HGV driver, Cloggsy?

Close overtakes by large vehicles always feel worse because of their sheer size and the draft.
You can see how bad the driving is by how far to the left the oncoming driver moves to get out of the way.

I have e-mailed North Yorkshire Police with a link to the footage... I am 'still awaiting a response...'

Considering the Lorry was doing (at least) 50mph You can see the effect of the buffeting in the video... It seemed like everyone was out to get me that day

It does seem like that some days, maybe I should stop wearing the t-shirt with "f*** off car driver" written on the back .

I was thinking more like "Smile, you're on camera"

He can't have been doing 50, as we LGV drivers are restricted by law to 40 mph on single carriageways.

I had 2 idiots within 10 seconds today. First a driver opened his door fully as I passed (I was ready for it though), then 50 yards up the road, a bloke texting/playing angry birds/watching porn on his phone stepped straight onto the road without looking. He actually let out a rather girlie scream when I 'Thunder horned' him.

Why does your head shake so much?

Does it?

It will be a combination of the 5hitty road surface and a loose camera mount (which I need to sort out over the weekend...)
