Reporting bad drivingI suspect that a lot could be done to contain some of the worst driving if only there were a quick and easy way for other motorists to report them - effectively. That ability...
The opposite? Surely the opposite is to try and lose him by letting him go, but perhaps I'm arguing about an ill-used phrase.
Extreme range now? Y'see why this just isn't making sense? As I said in another post tonight, you've said that he didn't indicate his final brake, yet also that it was "just around a bend". You can't have seen that if you were at an "extreme range". Nor could you have been hearing his tyres squeal.
Unless of course, by "extreme", you mean extremely close.
I don't think you'd have had a chance of getting past him. Not a chance. But you're right, it would have been stupid to try given how he was driving.
And of course there was a car coming the other way when he was trying to overtake, but not when you got there.
Sadly, you've snipped all the bits where I discussed how the horses could only have moved a couple of meters from when the first guy overtook and to when you did - and how this didn't really make sense that it would mean his overtake was "blind", yet yours perfectly safe - especially as the bend was a right angle!! I ended it by asking:
"By the sounds of it, you *also* overtook the horses on the bend and didn't wait for the straight, yes?"
Taking the fifth on that?
