I was driving home today on a dual carraige way, when a car with 5 young lads in overtook me and most of them looked at my car. The driver then started looking in one of his mirrors at me I think, as he drifted over back in to the inside lane before nearly colliding with the van in front.

He must have snatched the steering wheel to turn right, lost the back end, corrected, pendulum effect, the end reslut he smacked in to cenrtal reservation at over 70mph

Wheel trims go flying, pants go brown, and he just carries on driving! but the rear wheel is now running some severe camber!!

 

you must have been driving a Escort Cosworth.

 

WTF? Stupid post Turbo. Go back to the RSOC BBS.

I too have seen people lose concentration on watching my car... quite worrying! Never seen someone crash though!

Glad you weren't hurt...

A bizzare moment, it happened on the flyover near Brackmills, hence I was only doing 60!

 

Wow you have had a fun filled day, Glad you and your lady are OK.
Cheers

Typical, the one time the "safety" camera van isn't sitting on there this happens.

Still, glad you're OK Davey

some while ago an impatient driver pulled out in front of me , she had been waiting quite a while as there was a large que of traffic trying to get on to the island, she didn`t cut me up badly, but the funny thing was, it was my mother, i smiled and papped the horn at her, burger me if she didn`t turn round and give me the Vee sign, then of course she did a double take and crashed into the car which had stopped in front of her.

 

LOL @ Miller oops

 

Lol @ miller.

I have drivers drift to the middle of the road when I overtake them. I guess that they are looking at me in their offside door mirror and don't realise that they are pulling the steering wheel to the right at the same time. I give them the benefit of doubt that it's not deliberate....

Anyone else experience this?

Sorry it's of topic Davey, but I know what you mean bitten, all this RS crap is really BORING, can you drive at fifteen, that's how old they come across as ?.

 

Reminds me of a story I read, about a certain street in the US, it was a really bad accident blackspot, not serious accidents just people running into the back of everyone. So they put some traffic regulation guys where the accidents were happening. Anyway, it turned out across the road, was a library, and the front of the building was all glass, and one off the female librarian's always wore a short skirt to work, and when she went up the ladders to put the books on the shelves, male drivers saw this and basically crashed Anyway, the librarian, was told to wear a longer skirt or pants to work, and this cut RTA's by 100% in that area!!!

lol @ miller

 

Are you sure they where looking at the car and not you?, perhaps they where on their way to the Blue Oyster Bar and fancied a bit of 'rough'

 

We had someone hit the trailer staring at the rally car on the back on the M6 while we were doing 70mph once this caused us to get a slight wag an and a large brown trouser moment. The trailer was fine but the guy’s car door had 2 large black tyre burns on his door.

Daz.

 

Question is, were they thinking "Ooh, nice car", or "God that's a frikkin ugly abortion of a car" ?

Saw a MY99 with a HUGE rear spoiler on Saturday on the M6. Owner must have thought I was admiring his car.. au contraire
