Ok...

So there's a nice dual carrage just up from where I live, was coming back from food shopping.... start the dual carrageway and go to overtake a shogun, pull out a good few car lengths before as the road was empty (I was probably doing 70ish) and the shogun pulls into the middle of the dual carrageway making me have to swerve and nearly hit the center?!

I gave him a toot and he flashed his lights loads at me?

What is wrong with people? Perfectly safe overtake which nearly ended in a crash at 70mph because some loser either doesn't know the size of his stupid car, doesn't want me to overtake or hasn't seen me.

I wish I could legally kill people sometimes :o:p
 
I like to drive at my own pace, if that means overtaking a guy doing 60mph with myself doing 70mph and he catches up with me at a junction/queue whatever I couldn't care less :)

What is an "aggressive manner" I overtake people at full throttle is this aggressive?

I'm guessing he means pulling out late and cutting in too fast?

If he means driving too fast on a motorway is aggressive he needs to reach down and find some :p
 
That is actually the "proper" overtaking technique. You're meant to pull out and not accelerate until you are 100% sure the overtake is safe. Then push on...

As opposed to gunning it and realising you don't have as much time/space as you think but are already committed.

Nope every Focus I've been in always has the same. It's funny seeing someone trying to open the door thinking it's locked :p

Or do the classic, unlock it and JUST when they are about to pull the handle lock it again! I only do this to my girlfriend and only because it annoys her loads :cool:
