Every week i like to have a "blast" in my little ka! This just involves slightly breaking the speed limit but more importantly going round corners very fast (which the Ka does very well!) but as soon as I get held up by a car for about 5 mins, they suddenly put their foot down in the straights after holding me up through a great load of bends at 30mph!!! WHY!?!?

Same story in a Micra mate.
A lot of people can't accept that someone in a supposedly worse, smaller vehicle would actually want to get somewhere faster than them. I have had several situations where drivers of bigger cars try to kill me by leaving me stuck in the oncoming lane because they don't want me to overtake.

I tell you what it is, it's a lot of very sad people who think they can drive very well when in actual fact all they can do is put their foot down in the straights just to annoy you! Anyone can put their foot down!! It's when u see them going round corners at stupidly slow speeds you can tell they ain't got "it"!!

I'm not the only one then.

People pulling out in front seems to be the most prolific offence, apart from the inevitable tailgating.
