[nemesis_adrasteia]

yeah some ****wit driving down the road doing 90 in a 100 zone, i get to an open stretch plenty of room to over take so i pull out. so i get beside this car(ford festiva) they decide its a great time to speed up to 100, so i speed up to 110 getting near to the end of the straight they speed up to 110 WHAT THE **** this magna comes round the bend ive got nowhere to go so i boot it and jump in frontwith only a few metres to spare. what the hell is wrong with people?

[System]

i get it all the time on overtaking lanes- the bastards sit at 80 down the road, then when they hit an overtaking lane "oh guess i'll do 100 now"....

everytime i fly past them, because i know STRAIGHT after- they'll go back to 80.

or another one- they only sit at ONE speed, usually 70, 70 in a 100 zone, but when a town approaches which is 50- they keep doing 70!

and of course no cop in sight... drives me nuts...

[Benjamin K]

[nemesis_adrasteia]

If your fast enough you'll only be speeding for 15-20 seconds, and I'm sure if you explained that to a cop when he pulls you over he'll understand, people like that piss emergency services off when theres an emergency and they just go slow and don't pull over...

Or even better, report how slow he was going to the cop, that's a ticket

[Jesterarts]

Yeah that is annoying... because they do that just to be annoying...

And then if you are forced behind them... back to doing 20 under...

Can't wait till I have a car that has some grunt... just apply the accelerator a touch more and BAM! no more annoying twit.

If there tail-gating you, be forced to slam the brakes on (be careful, you have to have a reason like car pulling out) and slam the brakes on, automatically there fault....

Please dont do this in a 100 zone though, could get messy

Then once insurance pays out, get that dodge ram, whack a tuff as sh*t bull bar and then run them off the road..

Or just get a F250, the sheer size will scare the sh*t out of them without having to damage your car

what were you doing speeding in a 100kmph zone, you dont over take at a higher speed, 100kmph is the limit. to say you booted it well, seriously dude, he's not the one who almost got you killed, you did that all by your self.

He overtook doing the speed limit until they sped up to block him out, then he was breaking the speed limit to get back over.

Time for a re-read i think?

no, no need for a re-think

was doing 90 in a 100 zone
saw a gap, sped upto 100, other fella sped up also
sped upto 110 (100 zone, broke the law)
then planted it, (can only presume over 120 in a 100 zone)

broke the speed limit to over take, regardless of the other persons actions, should have backed off and sliped back in behind him. sorry, but thats how i see it.

But at what speed?The right thing was done,its obvious this driver was a tool and he did the right thing by getting away from him.Thats my opinion anyway.

I like the penalty in Qld better.

This attitude, "i never break laws, i'm perfect and a questionable decision makes you an idiot".
Is turning this forum to shit.
