One evening
I was tootling along a B-road behind a learner driver. After we'd passed out of a 30 zone and into the national speed limit zone, and onto a straight road, I decided to overtake him. I pulled out and began overtaking. As I got to half a car length in front, he started accelerating, which meant I had to.
We both increased speed in that position all the way up to nearly 60 before I had to slow down and pull back in behind him, upsetting the car that was behind the learner.

I wasn't going to let it go. I'm never one for road rage, as in at all. But this seriously ticked me off because (a) it was an incredibly dangerous thing for him to do, and (b) that poor kid was paying £20 an hour to be told to pull a dangerous stunt like that. I followed him to where he dropped his pupil off, then went over and had a word.

The instructor was a bit argumentative at first, until I started quoting the law at him (which I got Mrs SLVA to look up on her phone) after which he went quiet. I then said I was going to report him to the DSA and then told the kid to find a better instructor who knew what they were doing and wouldn't get them killed.

This happened to me on my driving test
I'd left the test centre behind a girl taking her test. A little way up the road in the village of Tangmere (Sussex) I was asked to pull over. As I did so she did it to, but slammed her brakes on and pulled right in. No big deal. What happend next was spectacular.

On this little stetch ofroad, I was asked to pull out and go round her. As I pulled past nd got level, she started to drive of, getting faster and faster and faster, exactly the same as above. I thought I was in the wrong and pulled in behind her. I was livid!
That wasn't even her worst crime. She then "gave way" at the foot of this junction rather than use the slip road.

She caused a crash an I was stuck in the resultant traffic for 40 minutes. At least I passed.
