On the one way system, it goes from 1 lane to 2 lanes when it joins up with a feeder road. Then after 400m (ish) the left lane peels left, right lane right.

Willy Mr2 rather than slowly feed into the left lane with plenty of time, accelerates up the right lane right up the bottom of one car then pulls left into a small gap left in front of a driver (their braking distance). Because willy boy was going considerably quicker than the traffic in that lane and the space they entered wasnt much bigger than an Mr2 they then have to brake hard.

This causes the driver who suddenly has an Mr2 1-2meters from the front of their car with brake lights blearing to crap themselves and slam on their brakes, and then the car behind that also and all chaos ensued, luckily no accidents (not sure how). I was a couple of cars behind this.

When traffic was moving again I saw the same car tailgating another vehicle down the road.

nob jockey was probably oblivous to what they caused.

oh and it was a rev1 tubby IIRC
