OT accident

Your point being?

I was forced off the road by an overtaking bmw recently, a nearby policeman on camera duty didn't appear to see it though! At the next lights I caught up with the bmw, but he just drove straight over the red lights! I decided he was too dangerous to pursue at that point.

I had a similar thing a while ago where, if I hadn't had a bus layby to use I would have performed something very much like a Pitt manouvre on him. (He was overtaking me).

I won't bore you with details but it was such a lunatic bit of driving I slightly lost my rag and chased him. When he got onto the side streets he did a neat little trick. He stopped at a green light, waited until it had turned red and before the traffic started to cross in front of him, drove across the lights, leaving me stuck at the red light.

The message from "Malc" contains these words:

I've never come close to thumping a salesman in an Audi. I don't have an Audi in which to thump him.

where about in Oxbridge? there are loads of roads that are 40 odd but you can go quicker on then you come to a 30 limit and it feels like you've just driven to a halt

Uxbridge! From M40 and into town centre.

The 40/30 limits are quite normal around towns with many adjoining roads, pubs, petrol stations, schools etc. The roads are also short so that there's no point in speeding up; you might gain 1 or 2 seconds to the next traffic light.

She made a mistake, but you acted deliberately. I use both car and cycle, so I know what it's like. But I would never escalate a situation. Why not take her reg number instead and report her?

Indeed. Vigilante justice.

ues, uxbridge :) damn spell checker :) the road with the macdonalds on the right next to the petrol station goes rfom nsl to 40 to 30 before it hits the bridge with the light just past it that one?

the thing with uxbridge though is that most of the roads that lead to it you can cane down because they are all nsl or dual carriageway 40's (not that I do :) )

Besides, I intensely dislike the word "Oxbridge" :) People will sometimes ask: "So you went to Oxbridge?" - I think it's old fashioned and snobbish to lump the two universities into one word; it's like "So you're one of us elite - right?" Well, I actually I went to Brunel in Uxbridge, and did research in a 5 star (RAE) department.

Yes. The accident was just before the New Denham community centre, just where the overtaking lane ends.

my cousins kid went there did something to do with motorsport said it was quite good too :)

typical then
