Original report (as submitted)

Approaching brow of hill, solid white line on my side of road, cyclist in front. Driving slowly behind cyclist until road in front visible. Grey haired old moron in Blue Sierra behind beeping his horn like it s going out of fashion. What did he expect me to do? Mow down the cyclist or wrap myself round the front end of a lorry by overtaking on the run up to a brow of a hill? I seriously didn t even think it was him beeping at that point (I thought it was one of the two cars which came over that very brow some milli-seconds later - I thought one had just overtaken the other and the overtakee was sounding off at the overtaker!) It was a few minutes later after coming into Gotham that it became apparent that it was the moron beeping me, because I then had to stop behind a parked car, to wait for a bus coming in the opposite direction to pass as there was no room and he had the right of way. Suddenly he was off again beeping his horn, shouting abuse and gesturing with his arms and hands. I was absolutely livid. I pulled in at my earliest opportunity and wound my window down, I was going to give him what for, but he just drove past gesturing and shouting abuse. That moron made me so angry and frustrated, I was shaking with anger. I don t expect that kind of behaviour at all, but from a senior citizen, well I am just gob-smacked.
