We've all had moments like that when leaving Walsall.Not Stafford, but as well as seeing plenty of accidental near misses on the motorway ..... M6 Jct10 the other day ...an idiot trying his best to cause an accident on purpose. Got on at Jct10, straight across into the 4th lane, causing all 4 lanes to slam their brakes on to avoid him, then had both hands in the air applauding himself as his vehicle was swerving along the carriageway.

Don't be silly, you should know by now that the only signal that BMWs are fitted with is the headlamp flasher.Followed a BMW along Corporation St after work this evening. Reg no, J4Y FX. Not once did he/she it use their signals, I had to guess that they were turning down Crooked Bridge rd and then once at the bottom, they went right towards The Four Crosses. Had they given cause for me to stop, I may have given a piece of my mind, but state of it, there int much give.
If all was right with the world, people like this would just wipe themselves out and leave the rest of us alone. Sadly, you just know that when it does all go wrong for him/her it'll involve some innocent third party who will probably end up coming off worse.Yesterday, whilst doing 55 in a 60 limit, I saw a white Vauxhall approaching from behind, with a good +20mph on me. He seemed to decide that, because he could not see anybody approaching, he would pass me as we neared the brow of the hill. Luckily, there really was nobody approaching on the hidden section of road and he zoomed off on his 'vital' mission.
Two miles further on, I came to the T-junction at the end of the road and turned left, waving a cheery 'goodbye' to him, as he waited to turn right, exactly as he would have done, if he hadn't taken the stupid risk a couple of minutes before.
Maybe they were afraid you were stalking them?Followed a BMW along Corporation St after work this evening. Reg no, J4Y FX.

It was distinctly possible that a mirror-image event was approaching us from the other side of the hill.If all was right with the world, people like this would just wipe themselves out and leave the rest of us alone.

When i was about ten years old, my dad switched carriageways and drove full pelt at an oncoming driver who hadn't dimmed his headlights for oncoming vehicles.Compiler clearly never driven in India
Moron in big silver estate who carved me up to the point that I had to take evasive action and then proceeded to give me daggers at the next set of lights. Dickhead, the left hand lane on the Newport Road bridge going towards town is for Left turn ONLY to go towards the station! Not for going straight on and nearly taking my wing off
Although the painted arrows on the road don't help. As the road splits into two lanes as you go up the railway bridge, both lanes have straight-ahead arrows. It's only when you get over the brow does the next arrow in the left-hand lane change to a turn-arrow, and its probably a bit late to get into the outside lane by then, if you're not a local.
