Almost killed an utter mong on a motorbike on the M11 at about 11pm a couple of days ago.
He was stooging along in a lorry's slipstream, about an inch from the back of it doing about 60 in the slow lane; but as I drew almost level, doing about 100, in the next lane he darted out to overtake!
Had to stand on the brakes (no way would I swerve in the circs) and *just* slowed down in time. Gave him a right earful with the horn after he had pulled back in front of the lorry.
Can't see the idiot lasting long if he keeps riding a bike like that.
