I took the car in for its routine service today, and I was driving along the Ring Road over Clifton Bridge. Traffic was heavy, but free-flowing.
I’d gone on to the bridge from the Nottingham Knight/A52 end into the left lane over the old bridge, and traffic was coming up from the Clifton/A4534 side. I was behind a lorry, and there was nothing behind me – and I don’t just mean there was a big gap: there was literally nothing behind me at that point. I casually noticed a dark red Skoda Felicia (reg. no. P563 DRB or P568 DRB ) moving very slightly faster than me in the next lane to my left.
When we got to the end of the bridge where the middle lane he was in goes down to the roundabout, the imbecile just pulled in front of me into no gap whatsoever. He nearly forced me off the road and into a barrier. I sounded my horn long and hard but it didn’t stop him at all.
His cheery wave changed a little when he saw me using universal sign language to describe what a dickhead he was.
The best part was that he had a kid in the front passenger seat – no child seat.
I think he then reached down for a piece of paper – presumably to write my reg. no. down – and was doing this with the kid sitting alongside him. He was going above the speed limit, and he then cut in late again in froint of someone else close to the Dunkirk Flyover to go down University Boulevard.
People like this shouldn’t be allowed to breed. Unfortunately, they’re the ones who breed uncontrollably.
