Last night, on the M8 Westbound between Eurocentral and the Showcase I was overtaken by a man driving a Nissan Micra.

In my defence:

He passed me on the inside.
He had been tailgating me for about 20s, including several full beam flashes.
It was absolutely chucking it down.
I was in a queue of traffic and leaving a decent gap to front and side whilst doing about 60.
I had passed him when I joined the M8, he only caught up when traffic got dense.
I passed him again when traffic cleared.

He was an absolute numpty. After he passed me on inside and cut across he then proceeded to continue this way past several more cars, including cutting into gaps between HGV's around the Bellshill turnoff area.

It is mine. All mine!

The dozen or so vehicles in front of me were trespassing.

oi dont knock the noddycar, late mum had 1 and they handle like a mini, very chuckable, okay the 1250 engine isnt exactly fast but on a twisty B road you can have a bit of fun, as i often had while giving it a run, used to terrorise the ned racers as it really P!$$ed them off. seats were st though and you found yourself holding onto the wheel with your arse in the air when going round corners on 2 wheels lol

The only time I get passed by Micra's is on my road bike, and I even find that embarrassing.
