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.

He meant your attitude on the roads not on the forum.

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.

I wasnt going to flash the lights or blast the horn. I was at the point of dropping back at that point of time. I just couldnt stop my friend from it though because he had jumped over there before i knew it :o

Dont kill him yet. I want to know exactly why when the other guy overtook he didnt let him just carry on away? Thats in terms of the first 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.

I dont mind being overtaken, its better then having them tail gateing.
It was just a moment of stupidty. Where i over took wasnt dangerous, if it was i wouldnt have done it.
I didnt just floor it to catch back up to it either.
Where he went flying past all it would have takin was one scare from a truck or car from him and he would have been gone or someone else would have been.
120 in an 80 zone with lots of in roads and petrol stations is far worse then over taking him back imo.
But i know it was stupid and it was just a one off
 
At least you realise it. No one was hurt which is the main thing at the end of the day.

But if it was me being overtaken in the same position... all i would have done was sat there cursing thinking.. you sodding moron.. what on Earth do you think your doing at that speed here..

even then my stupid overly conscious conscience would have kicked in and id have probably rationalised he was some sort of emergency doctor on his way to save a thousand lives.. and that i was being overreactive.

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.

Pay attention to YOUR driving and that YOU are driving responsibly, and not in immediate danger... let the other idiots worry about themselves (and the police!)... ;)

If you let other people wind you up on the road, it's usually more trouble than it's worth!

and Gord... I like your sigs :)

I was going to let him go. Like i said in another post i didnt just nail it to catch him. he must have broke for something after he took of after he over took me in the 80 zone when i wasnt paying too much attension for his car(probably broke for a cop car tbh) but i got about about 5 or 6 car lengeths behind and he was off again gaining his speed back. I dont know why i did it but i just overtook him then, I signalled and left a heap of room between my car and his when i pulled back in because i knew i was going to slow down again.
Im not stupid enough to get infrount of someone and cut them off and just slam the brakes on. I just slowed down by taking my foot of slowly and it wasnt a fast slow down but i nice and steadyone so he wouldnt need to brake at all.
The conditions were nice and the road wasnt slippery or wet either so there was almost no chance of anyone getting into a slide tbh
 
Get over it zip stop apoligising and stand by your word.

Why do people have a problem been overtaken.
I always overtake and move aside when someone wants to overtake me.....

Its not our problem most of you drive like grannys

Are u sure u read the thread? I never broke once and ive stated that a few times.
 
you dont overtake someone and then slow down in front of them! you had absolutely no reason to do what you did other than acting like an idiot.
 
johnnyb said:
engine braking ....so YES you were :D

It was an auto. U cant rush them to a slow speed i find like a manual engin brake. i just took my foot of enough to slow me down slowly.
