Have you been visited by the forces of Karma, or watched it happen to other people?
Thanks to Pooflake for the suggestion

« Go Back
I was driving home from work one day years agoon the motorway.
I was happily going along at 70, when the car in front was going 60. No problem, I pulled around to overtake, and the guy speeded up, so i got in behind him again.
He slowed down.
I went to overtake, and he sped up.
He played this stupid game 3 or 4 times, much to the obvious delight of his 3 passengers.
I was driving a clapped out old metro at the time with a top speed of 80 on a good day, and so even if I wanted to go stupid-fast to overtake him I couldn't (not that i generally condone excessive speed).
Roadworks were just up ahead. Driving the road every day, I knew EXACTLY where the speed cameras were.
"Right", i thought, "i'll get you you bugger".
I pulled out and planted my foot down, and he kept up same as the last few times. Then, at the last possible moment, i slammed on my brakes and went through the speed camera at exactly 50mph. He flew through at about 80 and got flashed.
He was, from then on, mr. 45, and i cruised past him at a leisurely 50. I gave him a smile and a wave as i did so and felt great for about a week afterwards.
