Have you noticed that you get patches were drivers just pull out & then you can go for a week or more & only get a few?
Saturday was a nightmare for me, I must have five in an hours drive >:( >:(
The ones that pull out & drive slowly are the ones that ssip me off big time, usually they're old, which I can cope with slightly, it's the ones that are my age that gets me  >:( >:( >:( >:( They should know better.

Yep, sadly a typical journey. I have a particular stretch of road on my journey to work where I just know someone will pull out in front of me. Same junction every day.  ::)

 :-\  In the video, why did the Polo feel the need to make the blocking manoeuvre. Damn annoying that is.

Video evidence of your indiscretion as well, Undertaking...... ::) ::)

Your point is very valid though, I noticed some years ago when living in Hertford, I had a New Mini Cooper RSP and an ex army Land Rover Series 3, big bumpers, tow hooks and rope etc......lots of the 'snobs' pulled out in front of the Mini, never in the Land Rover, may have been my style of driving though, 'go on, I dare you'..... :-X ::) ::) :D :D :D

I should add that more recently the Jeep tends to have few problems..... :D :D :D

Mine definitely is and it's white with xenons ffs >:( only way to make it more visible would be a nice blue/yellow battenburg effect ::)

Undertaking is fine as long as there is a queue of some description in the overtaking lane :y

Not sure how many cars constitute a queue though :-\ passing the van on inside was fine as op was technically on a separate road :y

To be honest, I would have done the same myself in that situation. That Polo had no business being there, the road in front of it was clear. Keep left unless overtaking. Granted there was a truck in the distance but at the Polos speed it would have taken at least a day to catch it.

I have no argument with it... :D ime the grill bars of the Jeep in the rear view mirror does the trick, and that is me driving, if it were swmbo the grill would be the only thing he/she would see in the rear view mirror...... ::) ::)
