... I did exactly that, tonight.

Travelling northbound to meet Foxycav. I was in lane 3 of the M5, progressively overtaking everything in lane 2. I couldn't go any quicker - limited by car in front, etc.

Mk4 Astra, comes up behind me. Heavily modified, funny coloured blue lights. Sitting so close to my rear I feel genuinely uncomfortable.

Continually flashes main beam, seems to drop back, and then charge at me like a tonne of bricks... and so on.. clearly wants me out the way, despite I am already doing an, erm, steady 70... and have nowhere to immediately pull in until I finish overtaking a row of slower moving cars / vans.

I move over as soon as I can, muttering a few unsavoury words under my breath.

He overtakes me, driver holding some sort of mobile device in one hand, pasenger giving me "V's", and then proceeds to do the same to another  car in front.. despite said car also overtaking stuff, and not really having anywhere to go

The chap then seemed to decide he wanted to do 40mph in lane 3 of a quick moving motoway... no need to describe how disruptive that is... cars had the choice to either undertake... or bunch up behind him...

He was a danger, on such a busy M way... I called it in, hopefully he got picked up!

the police will get him later after hes killed someone and then let him go with a £40 fine and 3 points even though he probs hasnt got a licence

This kind of antics on a motorway really annoys me. People who are obviously in a major hurry to get past you and then 10 minutes later you go past them because they have slowed down.

It is not difficult to maintain a steady speed on a motorway and drive sensibly.

I use roadcraft whenever I get behind the wheel of my car and I believe that if it were compulsory for everyone (ie. taught to anyone who wishes to have a licence) then the roads would be considerably safer than they are (obviously there would still be the idiots whose enthusiasm outweighs their ability)
