Idiot Corsa driver

Post by CymruPolo »

On my way home tonight it was p*ssing it down with rain and I overtook a Corsa on a stretch of road where it's a dual carriage way for a bit. Nothing dangerous and I wasn't going too fast. It then goes back to a single lane road and the Corsa started to speed up behind me. As we reach the end of the road and approaching a roundabout it goes to 2 lanes again.

I went to the right hand lane and the next thing I know this Corsa goes flying by in the left lane. As he turns off I look to the left and he loses control spinning round in the middle of the road. I couldn't help but laugh at this idiot, but also think how lucky he was there were no cars coming the other way.

What is it about these people in their 1.0 and 1.2 Corsa's who think they have some point to prove when someone overtakes them? :roll:

I know what you mean. Something about the front of the GTI other drivers seem to find intimidating though. Ive had this countless times, and to be fair they are pathetic - what have they got the prove other than the fact they are just a chavvy boy racer who has no idea about driving.

I couldn't agree more, I was driving my parents home a while ago along the dual carriage way, there was a corsa doing 60 or so in the left lane so I moved out to overtake, doing not much more he just sped up and held me out, I decided with the parents in the car to back off and pull in behind. Something about having a lowered car with different wheels makes Chavs think I want to race.

I was doing a constant speed of about 70mph in the left hand lane and this mk2 golf comes speeding up goes into the right hand lane, matches the speed I'm doing, and as soon as I look over he floors it. I ignore him and carry on as normal, he slows down and speeds off a couple more times. And I'm like wtf is the point mate, seriously?!?
