🚦 Lincolnshire — Driving Safety Gauge

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.

This Chav (massive rear spoiler!) was initially stuck behind a truck doing 50mph, but when she overtook it (followed by me), she left left on this 60mph limit road and I was doing nearer 65mph! Also a Litterer, as the fag end was tossed from her window too!

When got behind this car, it was doing approx 50mph in this 60mph limit, that despite being a single track was wide enough to do 60 on. Although when this car noticed me behind, they slowed to 40, then 30, then indicated left and braked. Thus thinking they were stopping, I increased my distance/gave them room. However because of this they returned to 45mph. When we both entered the village of Grasby 30mph limit, this car did not slow to 30mph, just kept doing 40mph!
