09/05/2005 16:09:38 Gavin J I'm not talking about tracks but on public roads. I have just come home from work and for about 10 minutes i had this prat (late twenties) in his brand new fiesta sitting on my back bumper, with shades on even though its cloudy.:rolleyes: So i did the usual things of slowing down and touching the brakes now and then to try and get him to back off but he didn't get the message. So once we had got off the main road i put on my indicator and stopped in the road to speak to him but as i got out of the car he sped off and didn't even look at me as he went past and clearly didn't expect me to confront him. I'm not usually one for standing up for myself and don't really like putting myself in that situation where i don't know who he is or what he could do. But it was the just the fact he could of so easily wrote my mg off, just because he feels the need to drive close? For some reason i have found that since the cage has been fitted it happens more often:confused: but tonight was the worst yet. Anyone else experienced the above recently?

11/05/2005 20:13:51 v8dave I find it happening far to often. Not necessarily a young driver, but usually driving so close behind my van that I can't see the car at all - I only know its there cause I saw them coming. It's very likely they would get very annoyed if you drove that close behind them, isn't this sort of thing in the driving test these days. Perhaps its my fault because I drive at 30 in a 30 limit.
