Grief from certain car drivers?

Just wondering if anyone else suffers from idiotic car drivers trying to prove something to themselves? I had a Subaru Impreza trying his upmost to get past me today on the 748. It must have been so upsetting for him when we got into Oxford traffic and I left him to it. This isn't the first time a Subaru has given me some grief.

Does anyone else suffer from this or am I doing something wrong?!

Mind you, when I was out yesterday I saw a lot of those Mitsubishi Evo things out being driven like they were part of WRC. Or at least trying to, until they catch up with traffic and I wave them goodbye!

Ade.

Actually, I have noticed that Duke riders sometimes behave in the same way ...

Tody, I went to the nearest low mountain pass ... on a GS. Plenty of Dukes coming the other way. Would any of them aknowledge a fellow biker ... like f*** they would.

Stereo types generally exist because that is the "mode" behaviour of people within that groups.

Very unstereotypically, I met up with a Goldwing Rider who want a race ... and he was very good .....

Had a caterham last week desparate to shake me off on the A272 (I appeared in his rear view mirror very rapidly).

Idiot was very dangerous, crossing double white lines (which I will not cross) on left hand bends to get around the traffic. I just waited until the lines broke again or the car the Caterham had just pi$$ed off waved me through safely

Bloke eventually turned off into the Seven Stars, and he was in his 50's easily.

Today though, a classic moment, a mondeo estate screamed past me in a 40 limit, only to be caught by the mobile "safety unit", clearly visible 300yds down the road

I waved as I passed him being spoken to by the car that had pulled him over.
