If you do actually run them over, and this post comes out - I'm joking

I've had people:
overtake on double white lines,
overtake on a corner with low visibility due to rain and
some moron coming the opposite way, thought he had right of way to overtake a cyclist right in front of me, causing me to hit the brakes hard.
All were foreign registrations. Just saying

It's he same down here in the South West of England. I work just off the M5 motorway in Exeter near the A30 exit to Cornwall - always a nightmare getting home on a Friday night in the holidays.

Think yourself lucky it's only tourists that drive like that in your neck of the woods!

I was surprised about the amount of foreign people when I was in Scotland.
Brummies, Mancunians, Liverpudlians, all sorts!

Speaking of bad driving...one thing Steve & I left out of the NC500 review was our near death experience in the lake district! Group of young lads in a clapped out 4x4 were behind me whilst we were threading the stangs through the winding, narrow, gravelly roads near honnister pass, they decided it would be fun to overtake me on a blind corner, cheering as they passed, then immediately did the same on the next blind corner to overtake Steve. Had it not had been for Steve's quick thinking - slamming the brakes on when he did, a head on collision with a golf was waiting round that corner. Not even joking, a seconds difference and that would have spoilt the whole trip, not to mention multiple cars would have been involved as well, and injuries/death.

Very very grateful for escaping that...just goes to show, the idiots are everywhere...need to be 100% expectant of these fools 100% of the time.

Rant over :headbonk:

We just about got taken out on the A9 on the way home from the NC500. Having given the car in front plenty of opportunity to pass the vehicle in front of it, and it not having done so, I pulled out and started overtaking both. Then she decides its time to go and starts pulling out as we're alongside, notices at what Jacqui tells me was "the last minute" and flings herself back into lane. I looked in the rear view mirror to see the crossover veering in and out of both lanes trying to get back under control. Very close to a bad end to the weekend there because some people don't use their mirrors before overtaking. Unfortunately got none of it recorded as the dashcam was ahead of the front of her car when she pulled out.
