Tail Gating

Description

Driving along the A27 dual carriageway between Worthing and Lewes, this plum decides to drive on my bumper at 70mph. I was overtaking a long line of cars in the inside lane, so I had no option but to continue. Please Sir, forgive me for not wishing to drive at 90mph for the sake of this Mercedes muppet! Anyway, as it works out, he followed me all the way into Lewes, and challenged me when I got out of my car at Tesco. He was surprised when I got out. He didn t realise that I was approximately twice as big as him, and half his age. If you come across this guy, just stay out of his way. Firstly, he drives badly, veering all across the lane. Secondly, he speeds and tailgates without concern for anyones safety. Thirdly, he finds it funny to racially abuse people. I won t repeat the word he used to describe me, but rest assured someone of my colour doesn t find it very funny. Fortunately, I have some patience with clearly uneducated people, so I was able to just accept it. I don t particularly enjoy driving. Its something of a necessary evil. I just wish that people like him would just stay off the road, and make it a safer place for the rest of us.
