Was heading to work this morning and coming down the national speed limit stretch as usual. As I came up behind a guy in an Astra doing about 40-45. As I got closer I started to slow. The arse then stamped on his brakes and starts waving and calling me all sorts. I thought knob and raised my hands as if to say "What are you doing?" As I indicated to turn off he wound his window down and waved more rude gestures. I have to admit I did lose my temper and took off after him. After about a mile he went to turn off and I realised it was kind of pointless and not worth the hassle and was a pretty pointless excercise so spun round and headed back to work.

I just don't understand why people dawdling along at 15mph or so under the limit get all irate and shirty when somebody comes up behind them actually doing the limit. I didn't tailgate or anything just approached. Even his emergency stop didn't cause me problems of slowing. The gesticulation just wound me right up though and was the last straw.

Sitting here at work now and am still miffed.

Rant over I feel (marginally) better now
