Poetic Justice

To the k****er in the large silver Daewoo on Port road yesterday: Congratulations, your selfish actions actually ended up delaying you a great deal more than me. Perhaps next time you'll be more considerate.

I was coming along the road filtering (about 8mph faster than traffic) and this clown moves out to prevent my overtake. I give a quick toot of the horn to ensure he really has seen me. No response, a flash and another toot. Still nothing. So, I decide not to antagonise him and wait till I can safely get past in case he is intentionally blocking me (which I suspect he is as there is no space for a car to overtake at this point) and will attempt something dangerous whilst I'm alongside. Of course this means having to wait and whilst I get pass, I miss my opportunity to get onto the roundabout alongside a lorry and instead have to wait for 30-45 seconds at the give way line due to the unbroken heavy flow traffic coming from the right. During this time, idiot-boy finds a space to overtake and arrives behind me. He clearly saw me/realised it was me trying to overtake as he starts beeping his horn and flashing his lights (although there's nowhere to go, so it's just a childish tantrum) . Eventually, a gap appears in the traffic that a car could have gotten into and I manage it easily. Of course, by the time I've done it, he can't so he is sat at the give way line waiting and is still doing so when he disappears out of my mirrors as I ride off.

The great irony? Had he let me past, I would have gotten past in time so that I would have been able to get to the front of the lane and made my turning about 30 seconds before he got there and the gap I used would have been his, so his journey would have been quicker too. I do like it when I see bad drivers get their commupance, even when it as minor a victory as this.

simple things


Just kidding, know what you mean.

Love it the other way round, when someone overtakes me in a ridiculous way (only when I'm in the car of course ), and then you catch up with them miles down the road 'cus they got caught up.

My other favourite is when in queueing traffic in the overtaking lane, and some twits tail gateing me, even though it's the traffic in front of me stoppingme from goign faster, and then when that clears pulling away from them with ease (I've a subtle but really quite nippy 2l Diesel, which accelerates really quite fast for a cage).

S'funny how people fight for their tiny inch of space, even when doing so slows them down. I had an idiot doing an illegal u-turn into my lane, and as he was fumbling for his gear i went past him, safely (I was about 4' in front of him.) He hit his horn, so I slowed down and stopped, waiting until he'd just opened his door before pulling away.

I know it's childish, but I don't care, so ner ner ne-ner ner!

Ha Ha Victory is ours comrade..

AAwwww mum will ya tell him...
