Riding along the A453 on the Burgman 125 from the M1 to Nottingham the other evening and cruising at a comfortable 60 mph, I came up behind a silver 4x4 plodding along at around 45mph. I proceeded to overtake the vehicle, getting to a point where I was just passing the front of his car, whereupon the driver who must have been offended by the effrontery of having a scooter overtake him, increased his speed and delayed the point at which I could complete the manoeuvre with a by then oncoming car approaching in the distance. Having finally got in front of the idiot, he then had the childishness to flash his headlights. Do some of the drivers of these overgrown Tonka toys have their brains transplanted with a lump of shit? It makes you wonder sometimes.
