The original submission notes: “Third one in 2 days - this is very therapeutic. Driving through the New Forest this morning, just past Lyndhurst on the Christchurch road in a 40 mph limit near Holmsley. Chap in a red Peugeot estate was clearly in a bit of a rush. Either that or he found my boot very attractive. He wasn t prepared to wait for the 60 limit ahead, so overtook and then treated me to the usual arm waving and middle finger display. Fortunately there was a slow line of traffic ahead which he got stuck behind.
