DUEL, Los Angeles To Las Vegas....

Reminds me of the time I put a Volvo driver in his place. On the M1, covered with snow and ice, and hardly any traffic, I overtook a Volvo driver (I was in a Ford Sierra). After I left a good space I pulled back into the left lane (UK road). A minute or two later the Volvo passed me. He pulled in far too close and slowed down. He was so close to me I nearly rear-ended his car. I passed him again. He did it again. By now I was more than a little annoyed with him so I passed him again and then (there was only us on the motorway) handbraked it. My car spun two full circles and I continued on my way. The Volvo driver hung well back after that. ... :)

ooooh,

wish MY car could do that .........

Wouldn't it have made more sense to drop back in traffic and let an obviously unstable driver go away? When he made the first bonehead lane change that should have clued you in that you wanted to be as far from that car as possible. You gained nothing and could very well have lost everything.

Actually, I pulled into the slow lane three times to let him get ahead. I even pulled into rest-stops twice to smoke because I don't smoke in this car at all with that fuzzy headliner. Somehow or other, this jerk always ended up in back of me. One time specifically, I saw them at a rest-stop and they pulled out at least ten minutes before I did. An hour later, what do I see in my rear-view mirror? That same fruitcake in his silver Escalade. I saw this same bozo do exactly the same thing to at least a dozen other cars and a double trailer semi loaded with steel pipe. As it turned out it still took me almost seven hours to drive 268 miles from my cousin's driveway to mine with Holiday traffic and two accidents that stopped traffic twice for over 30 minutes each time.

That's definitely time to get on the cell phone (assuming you have one, a pay phone at a rest stop otherwise) and call the highway patrol. People who go to that length are imminent dangers and are likely to be meth heads - that is fairly typical amphetamine abuse behavior. Glad you made it okay!

Yep I'd keep well away from a tosser like you as well.

No problem - I learned to drive on snow and ice. Every winter I go find an empty car park and have a play. I can probably handle a slide better than most drivers. It saved someone's life once. An idiot drove straight out of a side-road without slowing down and hit the rear wing of my car pushing it round and pointing it directly at a pedestrian. I was able to regain control, correct the steering and stop before I even mounted the pavement. The pedestrian looked as though he needed a change of underwear though.

Now, explain to me why some twat in a Volvo should try to slow other vehicles down simply because /he/ doesn't have the confidence to maintain a reasonable speed on a motorway with only two vehicles on it.

Explain to me why he would pull in and slow down so close in front of my vehicle that he almost causes an accident several times. An accident that, given the fact that the damage would have been to the rear of his vehicle and the front of mine, I would almost certainly have been held responsible for.

This incident happened on a day that the south-east of England was almost closed down by bad weather. I was able to drive 50 miles to work, and 50 miles home with no trouble whatsoever (other than the twat in the Volvo). Most people in the company I worked for couldn't be bothered to try and make it from within a 5 mile radius. That was around 300 people. Personally if I'd been in charge their next appraisals would not have been good ones.

Do we VOLVO drivers have to prove anything after all we have shown we are wise is our choice of Auto ,so why mix with the rabble let them go .I remember a chap flying past me in the snow in Tasmania ,next thing he was out of his B M W ringing for a tow truck .Yesterday a B M W went on to the left lane where cars were merging and tried to force a car to give way by flashing lights and horn .The poor guy in the little Japanese car paniced almost hitting several of up doing the right thing .I just gave way and let the fool go .He continued his wild driving tailgateing and no indicators and sped of to his destination .I felt sorry for him ,A- hes driving a B M W and B- we get booked at 1.8 miles over the limit yes 3 kilometeres per hour or

1.8 miles an hour over the limit .So you just got to know hes going to lose his licence or end up in a major accident or both .(B) loody (M) ad (W) anker .By the way is it true they dont really have direction indicators on BMW`s,and they are just look alikes to trick us who have and use our indictors ?

Actually, I did dial 311 on the cell. I was told that traffic was too heavy to intercept a driver driving that fast.

In other words, "sorry, we're too busy eating our do-nuts."

And we all know how difficult it is to get a helicopter through all that heavy traffic!
