Cruising along in heavy traffic, minding my own business, easing the throttle of my
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(well-loaded) Transit van as we
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(the traffic) approached the A11 Southbound exit from the A14 Newmarket bypass, when along comes a young chap in a nice metallic blue MK2 MR2
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- and what does he do? One brief flick of an indicator, cuts right across my front bumper going from right
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(overtaking) lane through the centre lane straight into the left
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(slip) lane, without so much as a glance of apology,
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'thanks',
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'sod-you-I'm-through'
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- NOTHING!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
No consideration for anyone else, not a thought of keeping his
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
'toy' safe, total disregard for anyone who might have already been in the left lane
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(and hidden from his glance by the bulk of my van), no acknowledgment of error when I gave him a dose of full beam and a blast on the horn as I slammed on the brakes
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- NOTHING!
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I sincerely hope this idiot wasn't a club member

(didn't see a sticker in the rear window) but just in case.

OI! STOOPID! Didn't you see all the brakelights ahead? Did you not think of the danger to yourself and others at that time of the morning, in such heavy traffic??? ![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Look, if you want to wreck your car, your life and the lives of all those who know you, fine
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- go ahead
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- but don't do it when the roads are that busy! Try a twisty lane with lots of trees, or something???
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I'm ranting here, because I do NOT want to be the Star Witness at your Inquest, nor do I want to suffer post-collision nightmares like one man I know
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- he, who was the unfortunate HGV driver involved in the fatal head-on collision with my stepson, just two years ago.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
He, the poor chap who went to the depths of attempted suicide to try to clean-out his nightmares
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- and through no fault of his own
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(it was just a plain, tragic accident).
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
He, who is still suffering
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- as we
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(the family) all are
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- as yours will, too if you don't use your brain, before you spread it all over the roads.

It is now just two days short of the anniversary of my lad's burial

- don't let stupidity make you the next down a 6ft-deep hole, eh?
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(Don't reply to this thread if it was you
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- I don't want to know
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
- just let's have some sanity
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
& preserve your pride and joy for better, quieter roads, eh?)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Enough said, from me.
