The rage that some people take behind the wheel with them as well is incredible. I went shopping last night and on the way back there were some roadworks on the A47. If these had planned to continue into the day I'm sure they'd have had another setup but basically lane 1 had been coned off and the slip road now approached lane 2 via a narrow route layed out with cones at an incredibly sharp angle which made merging tricky.
I was in the MX5 so helpfully had an uninterrupted view looking over my shoulder. The 1 series a little way in front committed to the merge but there was an MG SUV coming at speed. It wasn't anywhere near being a close call but the MG had to slow down to about 50. Cue tailgating, light flashing, beeping etc. for the next two miles.
As soon as lane 1 opened the BMW pulled over and accelerated from 55 ish to about 70. The MG obviously had to make a point and overtook the BMW then weaved straight in front in a non existent gap, brake lights strobing as the car was thinking it was some kind of emergency stop to then take the exit slip. Honestly if it wasn't for ESP and ABS that MG would have been facing in the wrong direction.
All because they had to slow down a touch. Crazy.
