335i driver this wed

Not an aggressive person really but was very close this week - was working away in the Birmingham area this Wednesday and was in a line of 60 is mph traffic on country road, next thing a green 335i passed me plus 5 others in the line this about to head on some poor family slams on and swerves into the line, this continues for about 5 miles. obviously this annoys me, therefore I decide it is this dickheads day, so follows him into west brom and after some catching finally comes along side and no shit it is a 55-60 yo bloke with a flat cap - due to his driving I was going to get out and put the drivers window through then knocking him out - wtf is this world coming to?


p.s. if you are a member of this forum wo-be-tide

yeah, agree that sounds like some reckless driving, it would anger anyone

but no need to follow his example, feeling angry or not.

Dubbed Bellendtronic, the new system is fully integrated into the car's control systems and allows a range of functions including full disablement of the indicators, perilously late activation of the brakes and an adapted radar cruise control that allows the driver to sit 4mm from your back bumper in the outside lane of the M6.
Amongst other neat touches, Bellendtronic can also apply light brake pressure at all times, covering the wheels in dust, something that will be a particular benefit if your fleet manager wouldn't let you specify alloy wheels and you want to disguise ugly plastic rim covers or the fact that if you weren't such an aspirational little twat you'd have gone for a rather better equipped Honda Accord. Initially Bellendtronic will be available on the forthcoming 316i and 318i models only, but the system is expected to become standard fitment for all models in the smaller 1-series range within a year.
Other German makers are expected to follow BMW's lead, including Audi who is poised to make certain versions of the A4 available with a rival system dubbed 'Pushytwat Plus'.

Must be the time of year, I got really p***ed off with someone driving a Ford Focus in the outside lane (only 2) for 10 miles with out letting people past (but let every lorry out). He really really took the p*ss when he then decided to saddle the middle of both lanes when the road was clear


Normally I just sit back and keep calm, but this blatent show of pig-headedness really got my goat. He pulled into the outside lane about 200 yard behind a Fiesta, which was more than enough to dump the f@cker.I was past and off down that road before he had time to blink. Oh the pull of the 335d

Hmm I thought I was having a bad week.

I've had two white van's pull out on me in the outside lane.

I've ended up spraying the stones in the outside lane of the M5.
The weird thing is both incidents happened quite close to each other on consecutive days!

What annoys me is that that the 1st guy even had the nerve to smile at me after knowing he was at fault for not checking his blindspot!

Probably one of those that says "I've never had an accident." No, but the f..... has probably caused countless accidents/near misses.

I think as we become older, we generally acquire more tolerance but sometimes things can tip you over the edge. N'owt we can do unfortunatley, unless you've got witnesses of course.

Never been an agreesive driver, but i do find a bit of road rage relieves the tedium sometimes and keeps the old ticker in check
