Drivers of big vehicles?
This is for UK drivers, i dont know if it happens in the US.
Answers:
sell your car and buy a white volvo and put a flourescent vest on the parcel shelf, suddenly everyone starts driving like angels
People in sport's cars also do this. A kind of 'my car is faster than your car' kind of thing. Some people are just SAD and need to learn to drive properly.
I ride a motorbike so i just drop a cog and leave them sitting, that said my dad dab's the breaks he did it one and got a big claim out of it and laughed at the idiot driving the merc.My girlfriend get's scared because she nearly died in a car crash so it put's the shivers up her.I also like to give the victory salute to them!!
just lift off the accelerator and slowly coast off the speed, it drives them daft. Dont forget to toot the horn in a friendly gesture as you catch up with them at the roundabout or traffic jam.
generally, i do not always think that these people buy these big cars to intimidate people. if you look in the drivers seat, 9 times out of 10 it'll be some posh lady on her mobile phone not paying any attention of where she is goin.. her rich husband buys her this car for her to look *flash* when most people laugh at the fact that they can not park these big range rovers to save their life! they boot out their 3 kids right in the middle of the road causing absolute havoc to everyone else as they are afraid to let any one see them park. then they drive away thinkin that everyone in the world wants to be as rich as them?!?!? my question is, why dont these women just buy small hatchbacks? easy parking, enough room for the kids and it looks a lot less stupid if u cant drive a clio properly rather than a range rover. in my opinion anyway!
All cars do this, maybe you shouldn't be driving slow in the fast lane, or speed up, pass the car your suppposed to be passing and move over and let the other guy bye, then folllow him, let him get pulled nfor speeding, while you use him as a shield. That's what I do.
Maybe some of these people do actually need big cars? Its a money thing. Some people are richer than others. If you won the lottery, would you buy a bigger, fancier car. Of course you would. Then you would be on here complaining about all those small, underpowered cars hogging the third lane on the motorway.
You should never "dab" your brakes in front of someone. If they are annoying you, then pull over and get over it. Slowing down in front of someone who wants to get past will frustrate them and make their driving more eratic. Try washing your windscreen. At speed, most of it goes over your roof anyway and lands on them.
Unfortunately there are equally stupid people in the US who do the same thing. That's why I always have the trailer hitch on my car even though I seldom pull a trailer. The ball seems to make them think twice, especially when I tap the breaks a couple times. Apparently they think that a big vehicle makes them important, and that they somehow have more claim to the road than you do. I enjoy teaching them otherwise by simply not being intimidated. It has never gotten to the point where I needed to pull out my phone and call the police for help, either.
Yes they are a bloody nuisance always, but, the correct procedure is to not touch the brakes and move into the next lane to the left at the first and safest opportunity.
If you drive as if you are a police officer, leave a good gap, be safe and smooth, you will get a lot of respect from your fellow motorists. Just the posture of your car can make them come to their senses.
bring on the huge tax for these people, who'll be laughing then!
I'll be laughing, at You in your eco-friendly deathbox, from the comfort of my heated leather recliners.
Well, you always get the clot who thinks speed limits don't apply to them. I refuse to get out of the way and if I am in the outside lane doing 70mph to overtake some one travelling more slowly, I will stay there until I am safely past them then pull in. They can hoot, flash their lights and make any gesture they like, I will usually totally ignore them, although I will sometimes look at them in the rear view mirror, and give them a smile and a little wave, they seem to like that. You usually find they refer to the outside lane as the 'fast lane' (aren't all lanes fast lanes?) and feel it somehow makes them superior to never use the middle or heaven forbid the inside lane.
