I'm currently on a short break in Norfolk having brought our modest 3.2mtr 2 berth caravan here behind my Ford Kuga. The caravan is so light it's like pulling a medium size trailer.
On the way here along, twice the same driver pulled the same stupid stunt.
Single carriage way A Road.
In front of me, she would indicate and pull over to the RH of the two lanes to enter a roundabout. Both times the lane is clearly marked right turn only and I'm in the left lane marked left/straight ahead.
First roundabout we both pull away and she is so slow going around that I'm almost beside her on the left to take my exit when she suddenly, without indicating, swings to the left to exit, forcing me to brake hard as she muscled in.
When she tried it a little later at another roundabout I was even further ahead of her so she had to yield or go up on the traffic island.
She was deliberately getting into the wrong lane and then driving so ridiculously slowly.
After the 2nd time she hung back about 1/4 Mile before finally turning off.....

You’ve never come across an idiot ‘he’ ?
On the same stretch of road I saw an old 12 plate Ford Galaxy do the same thing. Except she tried it with a 40ft HGV. She went from being in front of it to behind it.....
I did wonder if the 2 women were just bad at driving in convoy......
What makes me laugh is these fancy sports cars who'll drive for miles behind a slower vehicle, rather than hang back, see whether road ahead is clear & wait for a point to overtake.
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!
What makes me laugh is people in faster cars thinking I want to race them away from the lights.
Wow, aren't you the big man eh? Just beaten a Morris Minor from a standing start, obviously something to crow about.
Think it through. If I wanted a fast car, I wouldn't be driving a Morris Minor would I? And for my money, the sooner they are out of the way the better.
