Angry Idiot Cooper Sport driver-NORTH WALES

I am very annoyed at a Electric Blue Cooper Sport driver who must liked the look of my rear bumper as you were that close to it, Were you trying to prove something because you had a S?
Your a complete muppet and if I ever see you at a meet I will tell you to your face-
Hope you are reading this and you are a member

S doesn't mean Sport.

Just take you foot off the gas if you're being tailgated, drop 10mph or so, then slowly speed up again, they'll soon get bored and pull back a bit.

I had a similar incident tonight with a peugot driver...

We were going down a stretch of raod that is a 30mph road. Now most, if not all drivers will generally do 40 but the road has the ability to allow an easy 90mph - (Please note it was not me driving but a friend who I don't happen to be friends with anymore)

I thoroughly enjoyed sticking right to the 30mph limit.. was sat in 5th getting about 75mpg and was thinking whether to stick the Cruise on for a laugh.. decided against that one.

Anyway, held him at 30mph for about 3 quarts of a mile before I had to turn off.. (cars coming in opposite direction so he couldn't overtake)

I'm with you on this.

I drive a lot of miles (not in my MINI) and you get a lot of people that do 70 in the fast lane when the middle or even the slow lane is free !!

Whats going on

I must admit that I drive up their sorry a*rses and either indicate or flash

I should not have to do that, but I do like it

I hate tail-gaters, whatever cars they drive!

I have deliberately slowed down or touched my brakes just to annoy them, before I take my time to move into the slower lane

Another trick I have learnt - flash your rear fog - because it is red, they may think it is the brakelight and ease off

That's because I am overtaking all the time, hence I stay in the middle lane doing speeds that would get me into trouble

If anyone does that to me in my focus I will go into the back of them. I cannot understand people that brake at 90 when there is a car behind them ?

Why not just pull over you saddo
