So, I popped to the shops this morning and behind me was a very impatient/angry driver who was frustrated at my driving a touch under/on the speed limit of 30mph.

Lights flashing, fist pumping, watch tapping away as the lights turned from green to red - he wanted me to speed to catch them.

Just wondering how other people deal with these bell ends (invariably they’re blokes). I just slow down even more as needing to check my mirrors more intently means I can’t give as much attention as to what’s in front of me. also it pisses them off

Give over Sparkling. We’ve all got our problems. That does not mean you can drive in a way that intimidates people!

I agree with Pandora. Not sure how excusung people for driving like dicks shows 'heart'.

And yes, it is frustrating to be behind someone doing 40 in a 60 zone but the only way to overcome it is to back off and look for a sensible opportunity to overtake

The highway code actually states that slower vehicles should move aside so as not to cause an obstruction
