Reminds me of about 38 years ago my dad was following me in his rather spiffy Toyota Celica and I had a scabby old Volvo. I stopped at a roundabout, my Dad didn't. The insurance was interesting; the Toyota needed a new front end and the Volvo added a few more scratches to the back end.

Those old Celicas were nice cars. What worries me is that these days given a choice between a Celica and an old Volvo I'd go for the Volvo.

I love Volvos, we've had a few... 

The bigger, and more polluting the better 🤣

I am on my first and it's not inspiring me.   

 

And today I am nominating me or the car that didn't let me out.  And awaiting footage of me in the wrong on internet or letter from police 🤷

 

Inside lane doing 70, 2 cars going a couple of  mph quicker in outside lane, car doing much less in front of me (55) I  signal and go  to pull out into reasonable gap between 2.

 

Check mirror pull out next thing all hell behind me on the horn.  Look in rear mirror, he had tried to shut gap, now moving towards central reservation trying to create 3rd lane.

 

Pull in to first lane and break for car the car 1 had pulled out for passenger now filming me. 

 

They are matching my speed I brake firmly, they pull in front of me. I preempt next manover and brake again, thier break checked failed. I sit 100 foot behind awaiting there next trick. They slow a couple of times then speed up.

 

I tentatively go back to 70mph surprise surprise I catch up with them.  They start  pull in from outside lane and slow, I slow snd take next junction at last minute it has services and life's to short.

 

Impressed they got  phone up and recording in the time it took, unless things like that happen all the time to them 🤷
