Oh please...

So I'm driving to work this morning, pulling out of a lovely country lane into a wider road where the limit is 40mph half a mile each way because there are houses - I'm turning left so I look right and all I see is a car at least 150 yards away, therefore I don't slow down particularly at the junction.

Moments later, there's a white van on my bumper (who has absolutely flown past the car I'd seen previously, doing at least 60mph), and in my rear view mirror I can see the driver gesticulating at me while he flashes his headlights. All this despite the fact that I am doing 40mph in a 40mph zone.

Of course, as you can probably guess, who is this masked man muppet van driver? None other than Van-Driver who lives round the corner from me. Naturally. Clearly his inability to park also includes an inability to see road signs as well.

I hope he's not planning to confront me about this incident (and he knows it was me, because later on there's another junction and I turned right while he went left, which meant he passed me). For his sake, given that I know where he lives, have his car and van registrations and the name and phone number of his employer, who I doubt know that V-D drives their van like a maniac. ;)

Does he know the area well? If not, and he does confront you, you could point out that you might just have saved him from getting points on his licence as that particular stretch is one the police are well aware of.

At the same time asking said police if they propose doing anything about enforcing the speed limit as you have had a dangerous experience. Or not.

What a jerk. Very glad you didn't get rear ended by him!
