Accelerating when someone is alongside you in the process of overtaking, is one of the most dangerous things you can do on the road in my book

He knew the guy wanted to pass, he let him get alongside him then prevented him from completing his maneouvre by accelerating.
That situation is covered in the "fack that ****e, I know it all" code.

yeah
wait for the lights to go then sit back and watch them take off, check one's hair, check all round observation for fed's. Right coast is clear then wap their **** to the next set of lights.
old enough to have more sense, what the hell, if the coast is clear & it's safe to do so, excersise your bhp & your competition clutch.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You pull up at the lights, some twonk in a Nova pulls up next to you and says he's gonna *ahem* "blow you blood".

Having spotted the police car a few cars behind, you just laugh and give a little burst on the throttle. Nova wheelspins of the line, you wait a few seconds for the police to tear past and then proceed on your way.
"Nova boi" is still being questioned by the police when you pass the junction on your way back.....
Priceless!!!

My other favourite one is the snooper/ road angel 'get out of points free'
"Nova Boi" is right up your tail, no doubt using your slipstream as it wouldnt normally go that fast, you hoof it away so he drops a gear that gives him a 'lets go' signal, you back off slightly to give him some hope of reaching you, he sees his chance, he pulls out thinking hes actually beat a scoob, as you brake hard ... then its like christmas lights as the gatso gets him
You blast past him with a smug look

He's getting really agitated, weaving and swerving and waiting for an opportunity to get past me. Then, as we're on the straight exiting the village, the opposing traffic clears and he goes for it...pulls alongside me...then we exit the 30mph zone and I floor it in second and leave him on the wrong side of the road looking an idiot
Did chuckle a bit...
If that had been me, and after watching the idiot weaving about on my rear bumper I'd be VERY tempted to do the same!

Yeah love all of the above moves apart form the overtaking thing but favourite is the traffic light games. In Glasgow coming from city centre heading to south side it's a two lane road for over a mile but about 5 sets of lights. First set, first in line with Saxo beside. rev rev, off he goes. Along i go in 1st then 2nd all the way at about ten miles an hour and never have to stop, just getting to each light in turn as it turns. Just love watching him accelerate hard then brake all the time just until the last set when i breeze past him at 20-30 depending on my timing. Lurvely

The fact was, I slowed down to the speed limit and had some tosser about 6 inches off my bumper (if I'd had to stop I'd have had him in my backseat!) ALL the way through the 30mph zone (and believe me, if not for oncoming traffic he'd have passed me there) and then accelerated (admittedly swiftly) once I hit the national speed limit section...

In this situation if I really wanted to prove a point I'd have either floored it before he had a chance to start overtaking and left him behind, or let him go past and then stayed with him at a safe distance.
I dont mean to lecture mate, it's just my philosophy with w@nkers like this is "let 'em get on with it"

Got to agree - Don't take it badly - were all here to share our experience and if we all learn something then all the better!... you should have let him get passed or been off the mark quick enough so he was behind you and then if he was quick enough let him overtake on a fair and clear understanding of 'private airstrip racing' rules...you wouldn't feel too good if he'd have had a head on now - only to find he was w*nker enough to also have had his 6 yearold in the back seat - seriously there are idiots like that out there...and also that whole scenario was unpredictable enough so that if you'd have slowed to let him past at a moment of crisis - he may well have thought 'there is no way this dick is going to let me by - so I'll slow too" - the consequences are too dire...
These days I even think twice about how hard I push (or pull) the nova boys - I'd hate to induce them into overcooking it - after all I have 20+ years of driving experience on them..I don't know about you but I was a crap driver at 20 - young,dumb and full of c*m as they say...
play solo or play safely is what I say..

AND you could still have the same 'traffic light' fun with other motorhome drivers - see which one of you refuses to move first ? Kind of like a mexican standoff - big turbo diesels engines revving flipping off the 4K limiter.. plumes of black smoke drifting lazily into the air, dogs barking madly at each other out the sidewindows, maybe put in some hydraulic air suspension so you can do bunny hops...the possibilities are endless...
