Wingman just one last question - do you actually have a driving licence or in fact a car and I don't mean one on "need for speed"

Oh no, you caught me out!

You need to reassess and accept that you are wrong.

That rubbish you've just written isn't even remotely amusing.

Hopefully I won't encounter you on the road as it sounds like you don't know how to drive. Unless you seriously think you have some entitlement to overtake no matter how dangerous it might be or to kill people for getting in your way.

And which statement am I wrong about exactly?

It isn't supposed to be amusing. It's supposed to make you stop and think "is it really worth risking my and other's lives just to be 'right'?"

Thanks for your observations on my driving however, considering not once have I stated anything about it, unlike some others who are actually posting how proud they are of their dangerous driving...

It's counter productive only to the driver originally breaking the law by overtaking.

Overtaking isn't against the law. Blocking them from overtaking is.

If you're desperate to stop the pesky "boy racers" from "speeding" then join the police and stop them legally. If you don't have the conviction to do that then you're just moronic ****. Or a troll.

I keep to the speed limit, therefore people overtaking me are breaking the speed limit to do so. I have been exceptionally clear on this point.

Blocking them from overtaking is not against the law, although it could be held against me in a court of law, is not breaking the law in itself.

And in response to the second part of my post?

Steve2000 · 3 Jan 2013 at 18:38

So if you are driving at the speed limit and someone overtakes you, you will break the law to stop them breaking the law?

I decided to ignore your unkind words.

I never suggested otherwise. I merely stated the incorrect point that was made.

However it is contrary to the highway code

Steve2000 · 3 Jan 2013 at 18:43

Eh? You can't hold a position of moral high ground against people breaking the law, when you are infact breaking the law yourself.

What gives you the right to police the roads, if you are not an officer of law?

Just don't use the word "vigilante" or he'll get all upset again

Dabbles · 3 Jan 2013 at 18:45

wingman, if you're not trolling, you need to stop the vigilante behaviour on the roads before you kill someone, be that yourself, the person you deem to be in the wrong or an innocent bystander/roaduser.

If you are trolling, simply pack it in, you aren't doing yourself any favours.

Thanks, but that wasn't my point.

Maccy · 3 Jan 2013 at 18:51

I think the trolling and name calling has gone on long enough here.

One last note on this. If I saw you on duty blocking someone from overtaking, I would almost certainly be reporting you for summons for careless or inconsiderate driving at the least and possibly dangerous driving. It's dangerous and stupid no matter what speed you're doing.
