Im 4 cars back from this guy and there's a silver merc van up my tail pipe!! We approach a bit of a straight road and he hoofs it past me and finds he's headed for an oncoming car, he forces the car infront of me toward the kerb and barges his way in. Total and complete MORON! However had slow coach at the front not been driving with such disregard for those behind, this would not have happened! So, we saw a near head on collision with an innocent oncoming motorist, the car infront nearly ended up in a ditch and the car infront of him nearly got his car crushed by a sprinter van!! Had a head on collision occured, it could easily have taken out 5 or 6 cars, most of whom were innocent motorists just trying to get to work!! You might think it's clever to !!!!
