I do this all the time.

I thought you were the ■■■■■■■■ for pulling out when you must have seen the coach coming up behind you.

tachograph:
As someone has commented under the video, you really need to chill out, getting hot and bothered and blowing the horn just because a coach uses lane 3 cannot be good for your health.

The coach was too close when the driver started pulling in front of you, but that’s not that unusual, and it’s possible he could have been angry because you ■■■■■■ him off by blowing your horn for no good reason.
Also as you was blowing the horn when he was at the side of you, I can’t help wondering what else you was doing that may have ■■■■■■ off the coach driver.

I’m not making excuses for the coach driver but the fact that he pulled in to soon could have been triggered by your poor attitude.

All in all it was a none event in my opinion :frowning:

What he said…
OP, chill for ■■■■ sake…

Not getting the point of this thread :confused:
Ill quite happily sit behind trucks but when the it drags on for a bit then Ill use the third lane to overtake :wink:
Never had any abuse off the one Im overtaking, always been flashed back in though :wink:
Just be careful about giving abuse to coaches though, you never know who’s onboard - for instance last year I had a load of police officers on :wink:

What happened to live & let live? Coaches in the outside lane isn’t that big a deal really is it?

I know it’s illegal but it’s not dangerous, no-ones likely to suffer any grief. It’s not really your problem either, if he gets pulled you can have a cheeky little grin to yourself & continue on your merry way, & if he doesn’t, life goes on as normal.

Tooting your horn & waving your arms about makes you look like a tool tbh. Like a few on here, I’ve realised through years spent behind the wheel that the standard of driving is getting worse, so, seeing poor driving is the norm rather than the exception these days, & getting wound up about it will only increase your stress levels.

Not getting stressed out at minor infractions of the rules will lead to a more enjoyable driving experience, not forgetting the long term benefits to your health, it works for me.

I’ll bet £20 that ROG has already sent a snotty email to the coach company along with a link to the video.

Bow locks to the lot of yer :smiley:
Taken all comments on the chin and now retreating to the furthest part of the yard to seek solace with the rest of the broken wrecks who will never deign to sound their horn or show any emotion :grimacing:

Fair play to you, I was expecting you to be moody about the criticism or throw your toys out of the pram, you have risen in my estimation Sir. :smiley:

Pete here are some thoughts for you, hopefully it will save someones life…including yours:

  1. Coaches were allowed to you use the outside lane a few years ago. When they passed you then did you toot your horn? Coaches pass you on dual carriageways…do you toot your horn. Same scenario.

2.The approach to the arch bridge. How aggressive you are. I can’t believe you drove at that speed and never backed off. Potentially a head on collision with fatal consequences. The car MAY have been wrong but it would be you in jail.

  1. The tanker driver. You are a in your car, why couldn’t you back off and let him in…which you had to do anyway. If it was you in that truck you would be on here saying the car driver is at fault and calling him all the names.

Pete, think of your family. Your stress and anger will lead to an early death or you will end up in jail for killing someone. So chill out man.

Sorry mate, I have to agree with the rest of the posters on here, looking at your other vids - you even comment that ‘you have to put up with these idiots everyday’ or whatever - same as we all do.

Is it not time you calmed down? If - and it’s a big IF - it all goes pete tongue, you’re still going to be safe and sound, so just chill.

When that Micra pulled out infront of you, why not just ease off a bit, instead of swinging into the other lane and then carving it up, whilst commenting that she didn’t see a double deck artic, I’m just wondering who let you out driving a double deck artic?

We all get stressed, I’ve literally had punch ups at the side of the road, but that’s usually after things have happened and then it’s escalated, most of yours is stressing over nothing.

Comment on on another video from a you tuber

Jay Rock 44 minutes ago

I’ve watched all your vids, and they testify against you. You really should not be on the road. You are irate, abusive and impatient towards other road users. It is people with attitudes like yours that cause accidents and problems on the road. Seriously, get off the road and stop posting your crap on youtube. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!

He has a point :unamused:

Your one sad man :cry:

:question: :question: :question: what’s your problem he passed you pretty quick in my opinion he indicated and left you for dead maybe you should change career if that upsets you . Would rather have a coach pass me at pace in lane 3 than have some ■■■■ like you overtaking in lane 2 while filming someone in lane 3

55

Bet the driver in lane 1 has a good impression of the nutter in lane 2 beeping his horn and going off like a crazy man ,i bet he was thinking "i wish that nutter would concentrate on getting passed me without clacking my mirrors "

He doesn’t say much these days, but when he does, he still makes me ■■■■ myself :stuck_out_tongue: Cheers Rob
