White Van Man
I was driving out of Bristol on the M32 some years ago when a prat in a white van came up behind me and flashed. I ignore him. He flashed again. I ignored him. He cut the gap to a couple of feet and flashed vigorously. I ignored him, and continued to pootle along at 50mph in the middle lane.

At this point he decided to be a clever clogs and overtake me on the inside. If he had been a little less hasty and a little more observant, he might have noticed the road markings showing that it was about to diverge, which is why I was in the middle lane.

If he had been even more observant he might have noticed that the trailer I was towing had a glider in it, and was just over thirty feet long. Add the length of the VW Camper Van I was driving and he was now in a diverging lane, next to a wall of metal. He tried to speed up, but there were other cars ahead of him and he couldn't get past me. He tried to slow down and I, looking carefully straight ahead, slowed down to match him. White van next to me? Really? Can't say I noticed.

I considered waving as he headed off down the slip road to gawd knows where, but thought he might get cross.

TL;DR: Prat tried to undertake long vehicle, gets forced off motorway by other prat.

Do you mean
the A38? Or M32? The latter, it seems, from your story. The M38 is in Manchester. Sorry to be so pedantic, have a click to make up for it.

Oops
M32 it was, and now is. Ta.

Except there isn't an M38.

Have to admit
although have never had the satisfaction of forcing some git off the motorway, I do occasionally alter my speed for no reason other than to make life hard for the plank who can't wait to barge into the long line of traffic in front of me.

It's very passive agressive, but I'm no bigger a cunt than they are.

Have you got your EASA trailer rating yet?

Sod EASA
Transitioned the glider and flogged it. I'll buy an Annex B one in a few years.
