Driving down the thin road from Luton Skimpot Road to Caddington following a learner driver I notice White Van Man following me very close. Nearer to Caddington the road gets thinner but this tw*t overtook me - I was lost for words. Next thing he overtook the Learner Driver, sped left at the T-Junction and last seen racing down Farley Hill. This person has a death wish!

Seat joined M27 at junction 7 going eastbound. Appeared to be racing black Citroen Saxo OY02EAJ (?). cut across all lanes to lane 3 and proceeded to tailgate anything that remained in front of it - gap of only 4 to 20 feet at times - at between 65 and 85mph.
Both cars left at J11 cutting in to exiting traffic queue. from there proceeded South towards Fareham over via duct accelerating (racing each other) towards 40 limit and stationary queue of traffic.

Driving down Great Northern Road, Dunstable, I notice grey BMW Estate following quite close. You can't go very fast as this road has many speed humps and pinch points. I turn left on to the A5 and so does this idiot. I look in my mirror a few times and all I can see is a BMW radiator grill. This person is tailgating me so close I think she wants to get into my boot!. I managed to pull away a few feet and see it's a female with blond hair (funnily enough) but she soon closes the gap again and is just a few feet behind me. My car is a diesel so not the fastest but this woman is suicidal.
She followed me for about 3 miles very closely and did turn off just before the A5 meets the M1 motorway. I say "Thank heavens! what a nutter".

I was driving on the Antrim Road towrds Belfast and after I went by the junction of the Whitewell Road, what should approach behind me but another one of those bastard bloody TAILGATERS! This time it was a particularly dangerous one. I continued driving at 30mph because that area sometimes has concealed speed traps, a fact that the ignorant shit behind didn't seem to care about as he was doing his utmost to drive too close. I reached the hazardous bends near Belfast zoo and by that time I had enough. I gave him a good blast on the horn to try and warn him off. No chance, he carried on tailgating me until after the junction of Gray's Lane. I pulled into the inside lane and let the tailgating twat pass me and to enable me to get a good description of the vehicle that the bugger can't drive very well.

I was driving on the Church Road towards the O'Neill Road and before I reached the junction with the Valley Leisure Centre, I saw three teenagers walking on the pavement, one of whom was right on top of the kerb. I thought that demanded caution as the teenager may step onto the road.
After I went past the traffic lights at the junction with the leisure centre, I was keeping to the speed limit, as I try to do. Unfortunately, this was not good enough for an impatient twat in a Mercedes Benz people carrier who persistently tailgated me up until I reached the roundabout at the O'Neill Road.I've had the advantage of driver training and as such, I'm aware of a course of action if the are NO posted speed limit signs or repeaters on a road. 1. Follow the last speed limit shown 2. In a built up area, where there are no speed limit repeaters or signs and if there are street lamps at least one hundred yards apart, then that's an indication that the speed limit is 30mph. Unfortunately, with a lot of drivers on the Church Road - No speed limit signs = whatever the bloody hell you like. I really am absolutely bloody fed up with tailgaters on that particular road. I strive to drive safely within posted speed limts and with consideration for others. But unfortunately, few other drivers reciprocate.
Note to PSNI Traffic Branch - Put a few unmarked cars and a few traps on the Church Road and you'll clean up.

This idiot was tailgating me from Mobberley, through Great Warford and Chorley into Wilmslow. Whether in a 30 zone or in a 60 zone he was on my tail, and I ain't slow, but do stick to the speed limit.
Finally, as we approached Wilmslow traffic lights he shot off down a narrow shopping street to cut out the lights, which was pointless as I caught him up again at the Train Station lights.
Seemed half asleep as he kept slamming on the breaks behind me.
