I had an accident in my focus rs last year where I was forced off the road. I had been following a que of traffic (a caravan, 106, Nissan Navara and a Laguna) for around 5 miles doing 35mph in a 60 limit. We was on a very long straight road with hills about every 1/2 mile. I waited patiently thinking someone would overtake the caravan but no one showed any sign of wanting too so as we got to the brow of the next hill I indicated and overtook the Laguna then as I pulled along side the Navara he just moved over and forced me off the road! No indication, no looking in his mirrors and forced me up the back on the right hand side of the road where I then hit a drainage cut out damaging my wheel, tyre and suspension. The arse hole then refused to stop and I ended up chasing him for another 3-4miles before I got in front of him and made him stop. I asked what the fuck he thought he was doing and that he should look in his mirrors and indicate before performing an overtaking manoeuvre. His reply was "it's your fault as you're in too much of a hurry". He refused to give me his insurance details and tried to drive off until I reached in and pulled his keys out of the ignition. He eventually accepted responsibility and gave me is details. I phoned my insurance company and they told me to report him to the police. I went straight down the police station and told them what had happened and the officer couldn't give a shit! I said if I hadn't taken action by swerving away from him and mounting the bank he would of hit me and caused a very serious accident. The officer said no one was injured so they wouldn't be getting involved. I then said if it had been the other way round and I would of caused the accident I bet they would be getting involved and they be straight round my house to arrest me for dangerous driving. At this point he shut the hatch in the police station and walked off never to be heard from again!

So yes stevieturbo I agree with you completely!
