One fine day, on a quiet M62
Yes, bizarrely, there was very little traffic going over the top of the moors that afternoon, to the point where I was happily doing 70-ish (officer) in the inside lane.

In the distance I spotted a dark speck in lane 3, which quickly resolved into the shape of a black Citroen AX, containing a young couple, pootling along at about 65 mph.

I decided to be polite and cross into lane 3 well behind him so he could see me coming and move back into the lane he should be in on an empty road. However, my car must have been of Transylvanian manufacture, because he obviously couldn't see me in his mirrors.

After a mile or so, I decided that the best option to continue my progress unimpeded would be to nip back into lane 2 and drift past.

Unfortunately, the Citroen driver took being undertaken on an empty road when he was hogging lane 3, as an affront to his masculinity. For the next 10 miles, he sat on my back bumper with his headlights on full beam and didn't even attempt to overtake me until he eventually reached his junction and peeled away.

Cock.

If you'd carried on a couple more miles he'd have blown up
That's what happened to our AX.

Oxford to Cheshire - BOOM!

This is one of my pet hates
The number of drivers that speed up and act like an arse when I try and overtake them when they've been doing 60 JUST BECAUSE I'm a young woman in an old car pisses me off. If you don't want to get overtaken drive at a reasonable speed!

I don't think it's a gender thing
It happens to me: buddy rough is going slow; I speed up to pass buddy rough; buddy rough sees me and stomps accelerator; I speed up; buddy rough yells at closed window, ignoring the fact that I can't hear him; I eventually pass buddy rough, just missing the oncoming 18 wheeler that was several miles in the future when I started this maneuver; buddy rough returns to his 15 mph under the speed limit. retard.

Drive at local limit minus 20mph
when tailgated. Speed up and slow down a little, but don't dab the brakes. Usually they'll zip past (and you can hope for a speed cam nearby), but even if they don't you still get the satisfaction of raising their blood pressure enormously.

I always maintain that it is NOT undertaking if a vehicle in an outer lane is moving at a lower speed, in traffic or not. I'm normally inside lane doing 70, move out to pass artics, move back in... no matter what speed traffic in the other lanes is doing. I don't see the point on an empty motorway of moving from lane 1 to lane 3 to pass a car doing 55mph in lane 2. Same goes for when I'm in the coach, I can do 62mph, if you're doing 55mph... !
