I was on the M1 this morning approaching the Dundalk exit going north when I witnessed another DKIT (Dundalk Institute of Technology) Hot hatchback screaming up in the outside lane all over the back of another driver who was overtaking me at the time. I was under cruise control at 120 on the inside lane.
This pratt in his Cork reg civic then decided a bit of undertaking was in order and decided to pull in and then out as quick as he could. Stupid intimidation.
I was going to the college on business and found the car and called the Guards. Whilst I couldn’t be arsed going to court I explained I would like someone to “have a word”. The Guard promised me they would be talking to him this morning.
DKIT car park is full of happy go lucky students and hatchback cars … some racers. Most are sensible proud car owners but some take the biscuit on the roads surrounding the college. It is easily accessed from the North, South and Midlands so many travel considerable journeys. The M1 is a dangerous raceway in the morning and the guards too underfunded to manage it … students need selfcontrol. I wonder what the college does about road safety… the authorities there must have seen the road behaviour themselves.
I hope my white Civic driver got his visit today … even if he didn’t … I feel good about reporting him!

maybe you should understand that i know what you mean about bad drivers but have you thought about yourself ? you should have moved over as the outside lane is for over taking not for you to just sit on holding up the on coming traffic
Nick, go back and read Senna’s post properly. Senna was being overtaken at the time, so by definition could not have been in the overtaking lane. The eejit in the Civic was tailgating the car that was overtaking Senna.
