Thanks,
You pulled out, slowly, right in front of me yesterday near Bridge of Orchy, I was travelling at 60mph (NSL) with nothing behind me for a couple of miles yet you pulled out forcing me to brake hard.
You finally got up to speed, actually 70mph seemed you preferred speed although you braked hard at every slight bend in the road. My wife thought you were probably a young girl by the way you drove.

Tindrum has a 40mph speed limit by the way. I think you exceeded that as you pulled away from me when I was doing 40mph.

And finally if Junior in the passenger seat, who thought it funny to give me the finger as you pulled out in front of me does that to someone who doesn't have his family in the car you might find that they follow you and break that finger, and rearrange their features.

Good thread, unfortunately it's unlikey to have any effect on the driver of the Hi-Lux as by the sounds of things he can't read. Speed limit signs, speedometers and bed time stories to his offspring so they have a decent upbringing....

Still it's always better to get it off your chest and into the public domain. Hopefully he'll meet someone with a lot less restraint than yourself soon enough.

Well, yes but that would mean me doing about 80mph in a 60 (NSL) or passing on a bend where they are braking.
And the way they were travelling (I won't say driving) they'd probably have just run me off the road.

Self preservation with the family in the car.
