Just curious, thought I'd put this to the polls. On reflection I think i was wrong...
Coming to work (had the Corsa). Got overtaken by an 03 plate flat loading mini-lorry pickup size. Slightly bigger than a transit, but with a pickup style rear, you know the sort I'm sure. That was in a 30 zone. For some reason this got me wound up, maybe it was the swinging over the road, though he did complete it safely I must admit.
Anyway, further along, two lane roundabout approaches (now 60 limit road and he's doing about 45). I know from experience that a good start in the right lane and you can get back across in time. He's stopped in the left hand lane. I approach and spot a break in the trafffic just as I get there, so I nip into the right hand lane and through, past and back in without requiring the guy to slow down. Now ****** off (I wonder why?) he sits up my tail giving me gestures. At that point I think I did just make better use of the road and wasn't happy, but thinking on it was a probably a bit childish of me. Naughty boy, after reading RoadCraft recently. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
