Well as the title states some nob fliped me the bird.
The reason he did was because...................****Flash back****

I was on a duel carrageway drivin my friends car with him and 2 of the other guys in it and the speed limet for a certain section was 80kms because i had just gone past a town. While going 80(the speed limet) some guy in a white statesman(a luxery model holden) flew past me and over took me going 120kms+. Then when the speed limit changed to 110kms i got up to the speed limet and the gap between us was still growing, so i put my foot down a little bit to catch up to him just for the sake of it i got 120kms to catch up but i did keep the speed for too long just incase there was police hanging around. I took my foot of the throttle a bit and he started to gain again so i went for one last push and over took him then once i got it frount i slowed down to 100kms not by braking but by taking my foot off the throttle :p
Then i saw him pull out with out indercating in the revision mirror and i said to my friends "look inside his car and ill bet hes got his figure up at us" so as he went past he there he was just looking at us with the fingure up and not watching the road at all until he was far infrount and back into driving lane.
Once he pulled back in frount my friend who owns the car lent across to the lights and flashed him with his fogg lights and held down his horn with the other 2 guys arms out the windows giving him the finger back. Then he just took off, he must have been going atleast 150-180kms because he was out of site with in a minute and the road was a pure straight road.

The only time i really bricked my self was when i was over taking him going 120-125kms and i saw a cop going the other dirrection through the trees. Thank god for trees :D
 
Your spelling absolutely sucks ass.

Let me get this straight. For some inexplicable reason you took offence to someone safely overtaking you, so you overtake him only to slow him down again?

Well done. Flipping the bird would have been the least I would have done TBH.

Do you want a medal for driving like a tit?

Congrats.

He just frustrated me because he was going around well over the speed limit in an 80 zone where there were quite a few roads and petrol stations pull out and never signal once and get closer then he needed to me.

going 10-15kms over the speed limit for a short while is hardly being a tit and the road was practicly clear and he was the only car we saw going our direction exept for 2 other way up in frount
 
And you want to buy something like an ST24 as your first car?

IMHO you are not even mature enough for a 3 cylinder Corsa, sorry.

Keep yourself concerned with your own driving, somebody elses choice of speed is of no concern to you.

No, you drove like a tit.

He may have broke the speed limit, but your immature actions were worse.

What kind of reaction were you expecting? "Good job mate, you totally showed him!"

Maybe you need to grow up a bit when behind the wheel? :)
 
Ok i admit it was stupid and it was the only time ive ever done anything like that.
But 120kms isnt really that much in 110km duel carrage way tbh. Its only 74.5 mph which many of u do just about every day. :o

Totally missed the point.

Its the fact that you had to make a point of him overtaking you, by overtaking him back and disrupting his driving.

And flashing your foglights, blasting your horn whilst waving your arms out the window is chimp behaviour, your friends are just as bad.

It's not the speed everyone is bothered about, it's your attitude :)

Please tell me how my attitude sounded. It might have come off sounding different then i intended due to my writting skills, that happens all the time.
 
Its the reaction that is beyond me.

People who dislike being overtaken are highly dangerous for a few reasons:
-you dont know they dislike being overtaken
-you dont know what they will do once/ or even during the overtake

I rarely overtake. Its one of the most dangerous things you can do on the road. To be overtaken by a more powerful vehicle wanting to go faster than yourself.. only to overtake it back out of pure spite because you cant handle being overtaken is just ludicrous.

Tell me, why when he overtook you did you just not let him go? He was still going faster than yourself. Oh wait.. you had your friends in the car.
