    Followed me from Ballacraine through to Douglas this morning obviously hating the fact that I observe all the speed limits. I gave him all the time and space to overtake (without actually stopping) but he sat right behind me, but at the first roundabout at Braddan Bridge, turning right with me, he completely cut the roundabout and was no more that 6 inches away from the back of my car :shock: I flashed my hazards and slowed down (slowly) but he seemed oblivious to this... and continued to drive too feckin' close... had I been in my old Land Rover, he would have regretted it!

    I managed to get his registration number and he has been reported to the police for driving with undue care and attention. :P

    Will these people never learn... The road is wet, you're driving too close, you WILL cause an accident should I have to bring my vehicle to a sudden stop.

    Must have been something to do with the weather today then. I had some eejit undertake me outside the gaiety this morning then cut back across to the outside line. Wouldn't have been too bad if I wasn't doing 30 at the time and he was pulling away like a steam train... If you know anyone in a Maroon Mk3 Golf GTI 16v, have a word... ;)

    Good work for reporting the idiot. I'm sick to death of people tailgating, not just me, but even when it's the car in front of me tailgating someone else for instance. I never report it, but I should - good work for doing that.
    If you don't like my comments, don't cause me to write them. How simple is that! :)
