Not me.

I was annoying other road users between East Sussex and Arundel today.

I did see a white van being driven really aggressively that was pulled by plod(y)

Turning right into your drive so presumably crossing oncoming traffic ? do you mean the bmw overtook from behind ?

You should try living down here with the wrinklies.

Three times in three years I have stopped to let traffic coming the other way through as there was a car parked on my side of the road only for the car behind me 'overtake' and go head on into approaching traffic.

There is also a stretch of road near Alfriston that narrows down to a single lane for about thirty yards with massive signs showing priority. It is like Russian Roulette going through that at times.

There really is a case for mandatory resisting at say 75 or 80 then every five years after. They all drive Hyundais as that is the only dealer in town.

Integrating into your retirement community quite nicely then? :razz:

What about VW Golf drivers? Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago.
Driving on M1 to Ossett, four lanes of motorway, lane 2 occupied by VW golf doing 60mph, lane 3 had a Hyundai i30 doing same speed, almost side by side.

For once (and only once) I agree with ianrobbo.

Other than the dildo bit. I'll take his word on that.
