I
was in the outside lane approaching the city centre when after traffic
lights the two lanes merged into one. I was not fully in front but
mostly ahead of the white van (an aerial fitting company) who refused to
let me merge in and glued himself to the bumper in front. I could not
slow to go behind him as there was a motorbike behind me accelerating to
get past. Finally, he allowed me in. Now I agree the rights and
wrongs of this maneouvre could be argued until the cows come home but
what happened after that was outrageous.
Clearly, I had antagonised him as he then tailgated me. I just wanted
to have as much space between us as possible. The road split again into
two lanes and I used the outside lane to overtake the vehicles in front
of me to create lots of space (perfectly legally and the road markings
indicate this). The white van decided to chase me and kept in behind
me. I then decided it would be best to let him be in front of me and
allow him to make lots of space between us and I kept to the inside lane
and allowed lots of vehicles to pass. The van insisted on being in
front of me and swerved across lanes on many occassions, slamming on
brakes. I created lots of space between us and other vehicles filled
the gap. He slowed even more and the vehicles overtook him. We were
queueing for traffic lights etc and he shouted various obscenities at me
out of the window. He continued with this swerving/slamming of brakes
until I had had enough - he was going to cause an accident!!!!! I
turned off and took a "scenic" route for my journey.
This gentleman was representing his company (it was a company van) and
therefore a professional driver. He shouted obscenities and drove
dangerously - not a good advert for his company

I was travelling along the A453 towards Nottingham. Just after I left junction 24 of M1, A British Gypsum lorry (identified as small/light articulated lorry, dark blue trailer & white cab with broken right dipped headlight)came up too close to the back of my car.the manner of his driving looks menacing to me.I was a bit frightened so I speeded up to between 55 to 60mph, he still tailgating me(I shouldn't be driving at those speeds because of black ice is about on that morning & the speed limit for lorries on that road is 40mph) he still driving too close all the way along A453 for few miles until the turn-off point at Thrumpton Junction(This is where all BG lorries turned-off to go to their base at East Leake)I was dazzled by his headlights switched on to full beam before he turned off at that junction.
I am finding it hard to believe the reckless action of that proffesional lorry driver & this should not be tolerated on a dangerous roads such as A453.
Have I upset him?...well not really, I only overtook him on the J24 roundabout when he was stationary at the traffic light!!!! nothing is wrong with that!...Police is aware!!!...

Overtook me on a residential street, and proceeded to drive through a red light! Sorry I don't have any more details, but I was so angry I couldn't think of anything else but catching her up! I'm ashamed to say that I did, because it didn't make any difference to her when blew the horn and shouted at her. The irony is that the direction that she was going was the long way around, and if I had gone my usual way (driving safely) I would have easily been a ahead her. Road rage is such a shameful waste of time.

Chatting away blatantly on a handheld mobile while not watching how close he was to my bumper. Then burned it off down the A52.
