Ed Chilada brought next idea :
I remained quite some distance behind him all the time, just keeping him within sight, you could say deliberately holding back - driving at well below my own limits for that particular stretch. I didn't know what was going on or why, all I knew was that he was driving beyond his personal limits for the road.
What a p*****k 16On Wed, 22 Mar 2006 19:45:39 GMT, Harry Bloomfield How do you know? What defines the...
What a p*****k 18Ed Chilada laid this down on his screen : He was gaining on the straights, but...
None, apart from his car at the very beginning - buttuming you don't count either of us drifting past cars 1 and 2 on the roundabout.
I was his first screaming past overtake, the car he overtook on the cross hatching was his second, the episode with the horses made it three - all overtaken extremely rashly and without any consideration and with tyres complaining - screaming past.
As already described - I went round a bend, heard yet another squeal of tyres - there he was stopped in the middle of the road just around the bend with brake lights on and a plume of blue smoke rising. I came to a gentle stop, half expecting he might be thinking of reversing back into me, but instead he turned gently off to his left into a gravel area used by farmers to turn their tractors around. I took advantage of this to get past him and saw him do a complete U in my mirrors.
What ever his problem, I felt much safer in front where I knew that if necessary I could out drive him, than behind him where he might suddenly decide to stop and reverse into me.
As I've made clear I don't know what he was up to or why he suddenly started driving as he did.
