Silver Ford Focus In Filter Lanes On Douglas Prom

[SpArX]

He started off behind me at the bottom of victoria road or whetever its called and a car on the prom kindly let me out in front so i was inbetween a car and a lorry.
The silver focus then proceeded down the left hand lane (fair enough that's what it's there for) but decided he wanted to cut in between me and the lorry without using his indicator, bad enough.
As he wasn't indicating I decided I wasn't going to let him in but he REALLY wanted to sit between me and the lorry. At one point my passenger mirror was scraping on his drivers window ffs!!!
Not happy with this I decided to open the passenger window and in a polite southern accent say "if you want to cut in put your f*****g indicator on and I'll let you in" fair enough I thought.
He decided rather than using his indicator to signal he'd leave his window up and use his middle finger to signal his feelings. Needless to say I was NOT a happy bunny at this point. To make it worse he decided to continue forcing his was over leaving me with a choice between staying in a straight line and him driving into me, pulling into the path of oncoming traffic, or breaking and hoping the car behind was paying attention.
I opted for the latter and luckily the car behind didn't go into the back of me.
I then decided that I would follow him with my full beams on so if anyone was coming the other way (towards sea terminal) I apologise if I blinded you but I was properly p****d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To make it worse he pulled in about 2 minutes later and as tempted as I was to stop and have a 'quiet chat' I decided that the risk of deportation for GBH and being seperated from my little brother and sister for a few years wasn't worth it.

Not being funny but wouldn't it have been better just to let him in and continue driving, as apposed to getting yourself irate and then putting full beam on to distract him and annoy other roads users?

Easy just to say "dick", like when i'm constantly being overtook in 30mph zones, mostly where summerland is/was or what most people have forgot where that young boy got knocked down, shame people can't learn when a life has been lost already.

Was it a young driver? I have had times when I get really pi$$ed so I can see where you are coming from mate lol! I got a mte who drives a silver focus so just wondering if it was him, he aint the most pleasant of drivers lol!

Sorry i do think tahts a really funny little story you have there Sparx... :p I come back that way every day from work... and you get a lot of people pi$$in me off.. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr boils me up just thinking about it.. BUT... to be honest... Nitro is kinda right... annoying as it is you probably just have to give in and let the f***ers win. I usually hope that when they get home they cry cos they rushed home to find there dinner burnt or that they're wife has left them for being a tw@t... (vice-versa if female). mwah ha ha haaaaaaaa

just recieved this and couldnt help thinking...

What Nitro said does make sense, and if he'd indicated I would of let him in but he just started moving towards my car when he was next to me and at 1st I had no idea what the hell he was doing.
After that it was a matter of principal so I didn;t want to let him in. If i was still driving the ax it probably would have been more interesting because I wouldn't have stopped

[Nay]

that pic is ace!! hehe

I nearly got wiped out by a silver focus two weeks ago. I pulled off the halt sign at cross four ways and the dick came from the Castletown side doing about 70. He went straight across the halt sign. He missed me by inches. I turned around and stopped him at the bottom of the Ballamodha. He claimed he did not know there was a halt sign there. Got the reg and reported him but the police want statements and all the S***e so I left it. He was on R Plates and he will kill someone or hopefully himself.

TBH that is a S***e junction anyway - who has priority? The filter lane doesn't have a give way so its a bit of a lottery. No excuse for bad driving, but this is yet another DOT EFFUP.
