The original submission notes: “15:30 on the A52 heading out of Nottingham towards Melton. Fat middleaged bloke in a Megane tried to undertake me by changing lanes halfway round a roundabout, but wasn t fast enough. Got a bit annoyed by this even though not my fault and I did nothing to upset him. He was then behind me in a 50mph zone and very annoyed as I was sticking to speed limit and he couldn t get past. On the following dual carriageway I stayed doing 55mph in left lane, he overtook me and then did emergency stop in front of me. Repeated this several times. I got past him - he then forced me off the road further along the A52 by cutting me up at 60mph about 1" away from the front of my car even though dual carriageway was nearly empty. If I hadn t taken evasive action it would have been a big smash. repeated stupid behaviour and offensive hand signals all way to Newark. His female passanger looked very embarrassed and he has now been reported to the police. Very silly fat middle aged man showing off to female, obviouslu upset cos his little renault couldn t get past my car when he tried his original illegal undertaking move halfway around a roundabout. --- Context --- Type: Bad Driving Location: Nottinghamshire Vehicle: Renault Megane Registration: YY15 ENT Date reported: 2025-08-23 --- 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.
