If something irritates someone, they are going to react to it. It's

Obviously, even if you have superb car control, you are not

irritation to lead to dangerous practices and although I can

Most people get worked up in or out of cars. It's the way we're

Most people don't.

Most people do get worked up when driving. It gives them a chance to be
aggressive from within a steel protective cage. It does take a lot of bad
driving to set me off but when it happens I am prepared to take it to the

One near us has 20ft drop over the car park. Take a 100kG trolley and
let it build up speed over that - it has no trouble in bending door
hard enough so they don't work, or smashing lights.

I rarely go there, but always try to park at the top.

Paint incidentally isn't just for pretty. It's mostly to keep the
rust at bay.

Wickes in Barnsley has a slope on it's the carpark. I have seen many a
runaway loaded trolly damage a car in there.

That's no reason for Wickes to take action against it happening, or to be
held responsible if it does. The only person to blame is the person who
let go of the trolley.

there refusing to rust. Galvanising or similar works really well :-)

Overtaking is always more dangerous than not overtaking.

If someone wants to go faster than me, I make it easier for them to get
past.

but a lot of roads do not have room to allow overtaking - perhasp there's
oncoming traffic.

That is unsafe as he is tailgating you and you have to slow down. Once

slow down.

And what is wrong with going at a faster speed? Then he won't need to

Most tailgaters are of the aggressive mentality that believes that they
must pass the car in front no matter how fast it goes. Even if I am
travelling at their speed limit for that road, many idiots tailgate and
try to pass me.

They tailgate because they are thickos who do not have any patience, and
I normally catch them up at the next set of lights, or on one occasion,
when they've put it in the hedge due to the ice that I've noticed and
they haven't. I paused, checked they weren't hurt, and drove on, quietly

Again, you must live in a funny area. 'Accidental' main beam blinding

I'm mainly referring to town use, since I live in London.

I live in an area that has mixed rural and urban roads and I don't see
people using main beams a great deal, even when they should, much less
leaving them on to the inconvenience of oncoming traffic.

I'd agree with that too on my visits to unlighted roads. Although you have
to go quite far from here given pretty well all main roads and motorways
have lighting near London.

What I do notice is that 4X4 and vans with high mounted headlights seem to
cause more dazzle when you get close to them than cars with a more normal
height. Especially when parked on the 'wrong' side of the road which is so
common round here - if I have to do that I switch off the headlights
immediately.

No, it's me dictating what I do. And I do it for a good reason based on
experience and judgement. Anyone who get's slowed down is just unlucky, if
they genuinely have a car that performs a little safer at speed on wet/icy
roads compared to mine (which is pretty good, but it is not a sports car).

So tell me again, after I have made my own judgment, why I should speed up
to a point I consider unsafe based on what the **** behind me thinks I
should be doing when:

a) the **** is not driving *my* car;

b) the **** will not be suffering when I have an accident;

c) the **** may not even be a local so does not possess my knowledge of
local hazards? The number of flowers tied to trees on the bends on teh A21
at Silver Hill show what happens when non locals ignore the signs.

So basically - drive how you want, do not ****ing expect me to drive how to

By getting in my way you are harassing me. You can choose to let me
past.


You can choose to not be a self important ******.

What makes you think that the speed you're going has to be applied to
everyone else? It's you that's dictating what others do.


No, it's me dictating what I do. And I do it for a good reason based on
experience and judgement. Anyone who get's slowed down is just unlucky, if
they genuinely have a car that performs a little safer at speed on wet/icy
roads compared to mine (which is pretty good, but it is not a sports car).

So tell me again, after I have made my own judgment, why I should speed up
to a point I consider unsafe based on what the **** behind me thinks I
should be doing when:

a) the **** is not driving *my* car;

b) the **** will not be suffering when I have an accident;

c) the **** may not even be a local so does not possess my knowledge of
local hazards? The number of flowers tied to trees on the bends on teh A21
at Silver Hill show what happens when non locals ignore the signs.

So basically - drive how you want, do not ****ing expect me to drive how to
want. And stay out of my safety space you *******.

You decide your front safety space, I'll decide how much you get at the back you silly old codger. You have TWO choices. Speed up, or if you're too crap at driving or scared of crashing cause you're a nervous wreck for some reason, let me past.

By driving slower than other people, you're dictating the speed at which the whole queue behind you has to go at. It's called being selfish, and it's delaying hundreds of people whi have nothing to do with you.

You mean no appreciation for people with pathetic judgement and slow brains, driving their car slowly to suit.

Might have changed over the years, but German law used to assign a

Trust the Germans to do things that precisely.

Would be handy though if you crash into someone and you're both to blame, it could work out more sensibly as 20% 80% instead of knock for knock.

Most tailgaters are of the aggressive mentality that believes that they
must pass the car in front no matter how fast it goes. Even if I am
travelling at their speed limit for that road, many idiots tailgate and
try to pass me.

If they have caught up with you, it is clear that they must have been
travelling faster.

Which part of "travelling at their speed limit for that road" do you
misunderstand. If they catch me up and start tailgating, they are
stupid, impatient criminals by definition.

They tailgate because they are thickos who do not have any patience, and
I normally catch them up at the next set of lights, or on one occasion,
when they've put it in the hedge due to the ice that I've noticed and
they haven't. I paused, checked they weren't hurt, and drove on, quietly
chuckling to myself

Never happened to someone passing me, you probably annoyed them so much
when they were stuck behind you that they were paying less attention.

Which part of they were obviously travelling too fast for the road
conditions do you misunserstand?

"Travelling at THE speed limit for that road" is clear. However what you wrote is ambiguous. Do you mean "the speed at which the tailgater wants to go at"?

If they catch me up and start tailgating, they are
stupid, impatient criminals by definition.

If they catch you up, then their speed is higher than yours, that's simple physics. What gives you the right to decide that your speed is correct, but his is wrong? Everybody goes at different speeds, and unless you're a very selfish person, you allow others to carry on as they wish to.

The part where I've never had it happen to me, yet you seem to have witnessed it. The difference between the two is you were present when he crashed and I wasn't.

I think you have a mental age of 6 because all I hear from you is

"my choice of speed and therefore anyone else who believes differently is
wrong" coupled with "and if you don;t let me play how I want, I'm going to
throw all my toys out".

As he

Also the fitting of speed limiters.

And the physics of the situation which might mean that the posted (or
implied) speed limit cannot be reached in a particular vehicle on a
particular stretch of road.

You don't get a special right to force people to pull over and let you
by simply because your vehicle is capable or allowed to go faster than
theirs.

"Correctly"? So there is one fixed speed that is correct for everyone? Everyone has precisely the same skills and quality of car carrying the same load? I don't think so.
