I was held up on the M11 once by 2 trucks going 40mph side by side up a hill. On the brow of the hill the overtaking truck got ahead and pulled in. It was annoying but the bell end in front of me decided it was a good idea to then floor it and immediately swing in front of the truck that had ovwrtaken and brake check it. How mad and deranged to you have to be to brake check a truck, even more so with a truck immediately behind that!

Best to use the hand brake whilst brake checking so the brake lights don't come on....

Or drop it down to first gear and lay down a big compression slide.

I’ve flashed my brake lights at tailgaters before – touch the pedal without slowing down.  Sometimes people are just being careless, and in that situation they tend to wake up a bit.

I’ve also done the blocking of the dickhead rep on dual carriageways, but only for a minute or so.  He wasn’t happy.

The thing is, people like that genuinely don’t think they’re doing anything wrong – either dangerous or anti-social.

Remember they are important and are on an important mission, you are not!

Deliberately using your washers is also an offence.

One that will bring a ban for dangerous driving if its on a motorcyclist.

You don’t see some angry middle aged bloke rushing through a supermarket pushing into queues and hassling people out of the way

You've never been to a supermarket in Richmond upon Thames have you? They just ram the ****ing trolley into you as though its just fine. And in the queue its normal to suddenly find yourself gradually moving up past your shopping on the belt and joining the person in front.
