If there is nothing next to me then I will pull over allowing the loon through, but I'm not about to speed up to allow him to do it.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

"You shouldn't be forced into it - neither should anyone else. I've never met/seen anyone who was."
You are seriously saying that you have never seen anybody tailgate somebody and then force that person out of the way. I've seen people panic when some clown rides the boot of their car - sometimes almost causing an accident in the lane that they move into.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

There was no fixed penalty offer in with the letter, anyone else been in a similar situation? I'm assuming i'll get a court date through the post sometime soon after replying.Comment

Originally posted by ASB View PostIf you can move into the left lane then you are arguably driving without due consideration for other road users anyway (bit like everybody really).
