Annoying driver

[osc89er]

I got tooted at by the driver of some sort of ancient convertible BMW last night, presumably for getting in his way and slowing him down. It was on the M8, in roadwords where the limit was 30. I had gently decelerated to 30, stuck to the speed, stuck to the inside lane, and indicated in plenty of time for my slip road exit. All through this the other driver is slowly getting closer to my tail. There was an empty lane outside of me where he could have chosen to overtake.

As I drove onto the slip road he gave me a loud toot of the horn and sped off! Grr! Guys like him get my goat and give BMW drivers a bad name! (Not that I drive a BMW)

I had that (also from a BMW driver not that it makes a diference) in the village I used to live. Driving down the main road at about 32 (30mph limit) 3 series Beemer stuck on my rear. Indicate to turn down my road, sit and wait for car to pass, start to turn then *BEEEEEEEEP* and he speeds off.

The reason they don't beep before hand is because they ar cowards and are worried that you might be a psycho, yet they have to have the last word, or beep in this instance, so they wait until your in a position that you can't easily block them and hit them with your maglight/crook lock/keyboard.
