Driver Karma

[Wanderer]

Since I returned from Ireland (Dublin) I've noticed that drivers in the UK are very aggressive and even downright dangerous, personally I never saw that in Dubs (well Tallacht maybe, nackers in Polo's with blacked out windows).

Has anyone ever seen any karma from some moronic driving in front of you? I once got cut up on the M62 Westbound near the Farmhouse by some kids in a Renault in driving snow, 2 miles later they were all out of the car which was embedded in the central reservation barrier, but other than that.....

One dark winter's morning I was passing a line of traffic on the A34 and pulled over to get a tailgater off my a$$, he in turn was being flashed by the car behind him. Said tailgater then started brake testing and giving the finger to the car behind; yep, you guessed, the following driver then switched on his blues 'n twos and it was sooooo great to watch as they pulled onto the hard shoulder.

I have just returned from a weekend watching Rallye Ypres in Belgium, driving there and back from Dunkirk was almost a pleasure, however the moment we hit the UK roads and all the way home (to Gloucester) was full of ****-hats, seemed like National drive like a tw*t day, the M4 particularly.

The standard of motorway driving has dropped considerably in the last 10-15 years , they're effectively dual carriageways now because of the amount of 60mph middle lane hoggers

Having said that though I did notice excellent lane discipline in Cumbria a few weeks ago so volume of traffic plays a part

I was a passenger in a car in the 80s coming back from a gig , it was about midnight we were in the outside lane doing about 100 on the M6

A car came up behind and started flashing so my mate flicked the fog lights on and off , then the motorway lit up flashing blue

Oh **** , he sank down in his seat and moved over , copper pulled alongside wagged his finger then shot off with my mate going thank **** thank ****

70mph all the way back in case we caught him up
