    I was in heavy traffic in lane 3 - arguably I shouldn't have been there, as there was space to my left but I wasn't alone and I wasn't dawdling; but I was just about to pass a car in the centre lane when a geezer who looked like a recruitment agent in a highly polished Bastra pulled out from about three cars back, stamped it up the inside and cut into a gap that wasn't really there in front of me. At the time I was accelerating (because traffic ahead was), so the gap was narrowing - he evidently took exception to this and brake tested me pretty heavily. Once we got the other side of the lane two traffic, he didn't move over of course. I could quite easily have done the exact same move on him - which would arguably have been "standing up to him" - but I didn't because I'd rather actually get to work. So, as often happens, I have to put up with his tulip

      I've got a Mitsubishi Trojan Crew Cab - the classic shape one with bonnet scoop.

      I don't get intimidated by other motorists in the slightest....
      ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
