AIBU?

To be too embarrassed to face friend after DH’s road rage

My husband was driving to my mum’s yesterday and on the journey I saw my work friend in front driving 35 in a 40 and my husband thought it would be appropriate to tailgate and keep revving the engine up her arse whilst beeping the horn and swearing. She was sticking fingers up back and then she locked eyes with me when he ripped round her when he was able to.

I’ve never felt so humiliated and embarrassed!! I want the ground to swallow me up! I already suffer with social anxiety as it is and I’m fuming at my DH for behaving this way and I can’t face her on Thursday when I see her at work!

I'm sorry for that @Whiteroomjoy

And I take your point.

Thank you.

He is an aggressive idiot. He is risking peoples lives. I would make the police aware of him. And refuse to let him drive me or the family.

Theft and speeding arnt comparable .

One always had a victim the other nearly always doesnt

Ah - but when it does have a victim they finish up like the patients I had to look after - it is not a pretty sight and lives are ruined.

A law is a law - we cannot choose which we obey.

I'm a firm believer that you should be able to drive to the conditions of the road.
There should be no reason why I cant do 100+ on a nearly empty motorway. The only reason I dont is I know it would almost certainly result in a ban


From your posts, I think that this would be a good result!!

Not really out of character no. He gets angry at slow drivers

Bullshit. He gets angry at slow women drivers. No way would the dare to do this to a car full of men.

That's some imagination you have .

Unless you know the guy. Which I'm guessing you dont

Nothing wrong with 35 in a 40.

30 in a 50 or 40 in a 60 is way different. Those people should probably not be driving unless they are in a speed limited vehicle like a classic car or a tractor.

For example I was taught that if it’s raining to knock 10 off the speed.

I like driving fast but if assholes drive up too close behind me I simply slow down more.

Seeing this thread has been bumped up today - hope did things go @JaimieP ? I hope your colleague has been ok with you.

He's a twat and an accident waiting to happen. I'd refuse to let him drive or I wouldn't get in the car.
I hate drivers like that, I slow down deliberately. You've reminded me I need a dash cam at the back
