How I kept calm I'm not sure...

I think you may need some over night parts from japan. Then you will decimate all.

If you maintain a constant speed, then the overtaking car will be able to get past. If a situation occurs that means the overtaking car might not make it in time, then accelerating is absolutely the worst thing you can do and only the worst kind of cretin would do this. Actually, that's not quite right, the absolute worst kind of cretin would do this and then try to justify it in the name of safety.

He's either trying to be funny (and failing) or a complete and utter psycho.

If he drives a Type-R it's defo the latter...

He gotchya didn't he? Properly.

Sarcasm detector must be properly mullered. In my first-day-back-at-work state even I saw through that one.

Yes, yes he did

What can I say?

It was late...I was waiting up for my niece to be born (she waited until 6AM though!).

that Civic forum thread is shocking... More so than this thread.

Jebus, tell me about it! :eek:

If it had been the other way around, and the CTR had gone to make a perfectly acceptable and safe overtake and the MX5 had floored it and then gone around a bend on the wrong side at high speed, they would have been up in arms on CTRO.

From a totally impartial point of view, the OP was not to blame in any way and should be congratulated for keeping so cool (i'm sure i wouldn't have). The CTR driver should have his licence taken away for being such a grade A moron.

I mean, how people can think that it is the OP's fault or "50/50 blame" is beggars belief! :confused:

Conscript · 28 Dec 2011 at 12:28

I liked the guy on their forums trying to justify it by saying that the CTR driver was doing the safe thing by accelerating to prevent a dangerous overtake. Missing the point entirely that the overtake would have been perfectly safe if it wasn't for Honda Pride, yo.

There are no words.

I personally find my main headlights are suitable and no need to blast my high beams (on roads I know well, including country lanes).

So I'd rather have full concentration on control of the steering wheel rather than flicking the high beam stalk every 2 seconds.

Thanks

You sir are obviously a selfish driver, it is obvious that you also never indicate as this would also mean you don't have "full control" of the steering wheel.

I very much hope I do not breakdown in my car on a back road near you as chances are you won't see me, if you manage to see me and my car then the poor cars behind you may not as you have not lit the road up for them...as I said selfish.

Tried finding the threat at CTRO but couldn't. Which section is it in?

DRZ · 28 Dec 2011 at 12:59

There is a link to it somewhere in this thread

shauncr91 · 28 Dec 2011 at 13:06

To be fair there does seem to be a lot of people in that other thread being totally sensible and siding with DRZ, it's just a shame that there's also a load of cretins who think it's funny. Seems a bit harsh to label all the Type-R owners as knuckle dragging morons?

Looks like mostly kids on there anyway.

What a bunch of idiots. A handful of people talking sense but the majority worry me... that anyone can think it was the "safe" thing to do speeding up to block an overtake reminds me that so many drivers are complete morons.

Of course. Good to vent though!

The marque is attracting the wrong crowd though.

CaptainRAVE · 28 Dec 2011 at 13:34

There really are too many idiots on the road.

why is it whenever I see this kinda thing I hear this song in my head?

jaybee · 31 Dec 2011 at 09:03

Someone should post this up on 4chan and get the guy found, or do peopel already know who he is etc?

PraxxtorCruel · 31 Dec 2011 at 09:10

Was that car really a ctr? Looked like a range rover to me lol. This happened to me a few times too. If you are going to drive under the speed limit then be prepared for people to overtake you.

Mr-White · 31 Dec 2011 at 10:41

Something similar happened to me last night, i'm driving along this road in Hitchin following a bus, the bus starts to pull into the bus stop (exactly like the google maps photo actually) but hangs out slightly. As I try to move slightly right to go around the bus some moron in an Audi A4 estate tried over taking me. I don't know how he thought he was going to pull this off as there wasn't enough room and there's an island coming up. He had to break hard and then proceeded to beep me like it was my fault lol :confused:

I'm blue he's red.
