Default Bloody Poxy white van drivers, Had a bit of road rage !!!!!



On the way to work just now, jump on the dual carriage way, behind a Astra white van.......bloke just sits there, in the fast lane, on his mobile, doing 60 ish in a 70. I'm behind him......not too close but he's knows i'm there and won't fookin move. Come up to a round about, goes round and onto another dual carriage way........still in the fookin fast lane, on his mobile, and doing 60 again !!

So by this point, i'm a little pissed off so i floor it, up behind him, still doesn't move......so i do it again and he puts his brakes on, slowing right down and then hammers them on and comes to a complete stop.......all in the fast lane of the dual carriage way Then he gets out and starts shouting at me, waving his arms, and starts to come to my car. Now, this bloke wasn't small so i slam it into reverse and floor it around him and fly off so the fooker doesn't chase me.

I had no idea what he was saying as my windows were up and music on but .......rraaahhh WHY THE FOOK IS HE MOANING AT ME WHEN HE'S THE ONE BREAKING THE FOOKING LAW !!!!

I had the same situation a while ago, but I managed to get around him eventually. He then sat on my arse really closely, so I slammed my foot on the break really hard, he then had to do the same and he lost control and went into a bush on the side of the road.

Anyway, that has nothing to do with it as the van driver is the one that thinks he owns the outside lane and at least when us BMW drivers are in it, were not going 10-15 mph slower than the speed limit

There is a thread about an Astra van driver on scoobynet, must be their time of the month or something.

Fooking annoys me. If he is part of a company they should give him a fooking hands free. See it so much round my way, some toffer with a phone in there hands oblivios to the world around em.

maybe but given the choice between nice comfortable leather seats and not hard cloth ones, more room inside, driving the right wheels, more fun, proberbly more reliable and better built even though its 14yrs old, and now has some decent grip due to its new rims with 8" on the front and 10" on the rear , I know what I would rather have

As for fuel, didnt yours use more than mine on the way to EA?

2 yrs full warrenty, only 1 yr old, 17" wheels as std, 300mm discs as std, 170bhp as std, heatd front screen as std, climate control Air Con as std, 6 cd as std, ................ and so on and so on

pmsl only cos the focus has a tiny fuel tank it looked like it used more.

I filled it up from totaly empty to totaly full and only cost Ł32. What does your panzawagon cost then?

What a prat!

I hate to admit it but when people are crawling in the wrong lane I tend not to mess about. If it's clear (which it usually is when these knobbers insist on driving in the right hand lane) I just undertake. I know I shouldn't but I can't be bothered sitting behind them and it saves any confrontation. Had a prat in an Astra as I was approaching Hatfield tunnel after the Essex RSOC meet move into the right lane in front of me and stamp his brakes on when he saw me approaching at 100mph+ Why these people insist on doing stunts as stupid as these to prove a point is beyond me.

If somebody wants to go past me I let em' It's no skin off my nose and what the hell could I possibly gain by getting in their way and deliberately slowing them down?

some angry n*bs out there, I always let van drivers out of side roads etc cause they have to spend more time in traffic which is a shitter and drive a poxy no frills van so another shitter and they are one of the only sort type of drivers to say thanks and look like they mean it. but he sounded like a tw*t, wouldn't have taken much to pull over.

Sounds like you did a good thing getting outta there, could have got really nasty really quick.

My biggest hate is when you let someone through a gap when you have right of way, only for them to drive past you like your dog sh*t .

A friend of mine wants to buy an old banger and take it out for one night, people who open the door into the road, take it off, people who challenge you on a gap when you have right of way, ram them, people who park like an arse, clip them etc

a bit mental I know, but would be fun, chances are it would be the only time the old bill are on form and he'd get knicked.
