and they speed up and swear at you. If you're capable of speeding up then FUCKING CONCENTRATE ON DRIVING AND DRIVE THAT FAST BEFOREHAND!

He is also really good and pointing and evil glaring at people in the middle lane as we go past.

I feel it is the front passenger's sacred duty to point and glare at middle lane hogs.

But I do like pointing out the failings of others, especially if they're inconveniencing me.

it's also funny when they aren't paying attention and you sneak up behind them and blow the horn.

I've only ever done precisely what I described on that short stretch of motorway between the M5 north, and the M4 onto the Severn Bridge
and if some twat is driving in the middle lane and not paying attention, I feel it is my duty to wake them, and if they crash it's their fault not mine

Flashing people (with your lights) is fine.
(, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 10:08, Reply)
on the fastest roads in the country is a good idea. If you're so stupid that you can't pay attention to what speed your doing and what lane you're in, you're unlikely to notice flashing lights in your mirror either.

regardless of how intelligent somebody is and regardless of what road.

then you aren't going to notice flashing lights. I'm not just conjecturing here, I have flashed my lights repeatedly at people, and when I finally give up and overtake they haven't even noticed me there, they are either hunched over the wheel or chatting to their friend.
edit - also I like to "write" things that are "right"

you do get some really oblivious drivers out there.
I've seen people oblivious to ambulances and police cars with sirens and lights flashing.

go all the way to the outside to overtake them, and pull straight back into the inside, making sure that you never get more than five feet from the front or back of their car during the move.
That usually fucking wakes them up.
It's particularly bad up here, a lot of people seem to think the middle lane IS the lane your supposed to be in.

Devon isn't too bad for middle lane hogs really, and as soon as you enter the county everyone speeds up anyway, so it's less of a problem.

I don't bother with the "slowing in the inside lane bit"
I just pull off a perfectly legal, textbook slow-middle-fast lane overtake. I just cut very, very, very close to the front and back of their car while doing it to wake them up.

Cutting someone up is a cunt move in my book, so I prefer to loop.
(, Wed 15 Sep 2010, 10:16, Reply)
But you aren't strictly cutting them up if you don't make them swerve out of the way. I merely have an in-depth knowledge of the exact length of my car ;)
I would loop, but it slows me down on my journey, daddio.

When I was heading down to Nottingham for a gig, I kept passing a car on the M6, who then passed me, and so on and so on and so on. After I got my passengers to wave at the guy and grin like idiots when we passed the next time, it seemed to stop.

so you are forced to undertake them. I've had a load of abuse for that, and a couple of cars driven by chav wankers have tried to tag-team intimidate me. Getting in front and to one side and slowing down trying to box me in.
Their ugly slag girlfriends in their passenger seats gurning and shrieking encouragement.
