The original submission notes: “On leaving Lincoln on the A46, I soon encountered this vehicle doing 50mph, in this 60mph limit. Ahead (but one) of this vehicle was a small lorry horsebox, correctly doing 50mph on this road. When the car between these vehicles overtook the horsebox, the Merc still maintained 50mph, thus giving the impression that they were with the horssebox. Therefore when clear, I moved to overtake the Merc, but once alongside this Merc, they suddenly acelerated making a dangerous situation with cars now on-coming! Fortunately there was still space to get safely between the Merc and the horsebox, to then overtake the horse when next safe to do so! Was this Merc driver a snob, not liked being overtaken by a 1.2 Renault Clio. Although these actions by this middle aged blonde female driving I find very dangerous! Merc = a Burk? --- Context --- Type: Bad Driving Location: Lincolnshire Vehicle: Mercedes A160 Registration: EJ07 TWG Date reported: 2025-08-10 --- Safety takeaway --- Stay defensive, leave space, and avoid escalating risky behaviour.” Keeping this first-hand wording matters because it preserves how the event was experienced at the time of reporting.
