I was so angry I did consider stopping all together, then when she went for the overtake and I saw it was a woman I was glad I didn't bother. I did make sure she didn't pass though, and she almost hit a skip lorry trying it :evil:
RJS-Z4 said:The whole motorway was doing between 50 and 0 due to stop start morning rush hour traffic. I decided to be the stop part of this sequence.
I wouldn't say it's irresponsible at all, if the car infront had stopped to any great pace at all I'd have had an Audi in my boot as soon as I had to brake.
I decided to slow down in a safe and controlled manner and make her very aware she was driving FAR to close. When you really think about it, slowly slowing down a motorway is far superior to the bloke infront braking hard because he's paying 100% attention, me in turn having to brake harder due to reaction time and her smashing my car to bits and causing hours of delays.
RJS-Z4 said:I'd be curious to know if you still think it's a bad idea or not though?
Looks like two completely different accounts of the same story, the comments made were based on first account, your attitude was clearly irresponsible and a tad aggressive.
You say quote "I was so angry" they are your words, anger has no place in driving, aggressive driving and attitude causes accidents and its usually some innocent person that gets injured or killed.
My apologies, the first one had been typed out whilst still raging slightly. What I meant was that I'd left a gap suitable for speeding up if that makes sense. I was just coming towards where the 50 zone ends and the NSL is resumed.
The second account was when I had calmed down considerably
Just FYI, my anger was let out through the passenger window when she tried to pass not by stabbing at the brakes etc.
