    Driving out to Liffey Valley to see Die Hard 4.0 last nite around 11, onto the M50 just after the roundabout where the M50 and M1 meet, a Hyundai Santafe starts to flash me, me doing 120klms fair enough i was in the overtaking lane but if he didnt flash me to moveover i'd have moved over no probs, but because he did i slowed down to 80kmls :), I think driving brings out the worse in people.

    Expect the mandatory question in this type of thread of "were you overtaking someone at the time?"

    I presume he just undertook you then, that's what I would have done. Although I probably wouldn't have flashed my lights at you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Volvoboy


    I would of gladly moved over where it was safe to do so and after i was overtaking the car.:)

    You do realise that slowing down to 80 makes you just as bad as him ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Volvoboy


    Yes but he started it:D

    You didn't mention that you were overtaking a car in your original post. It seems hard to imagine someone would flash you if you were just overtaking another car.

    sounds like he was impatient and you are one of those people you are talking about in the thread title. you were the worse of two bad drivers here (by far) imo.

    It happens alright, for some reason the M50 fills up with knob end drivers after dark..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Volvoboy


    I was overtaking another car he came up my arse and starts to flash me when i'm doing the speed limit, and im the worse for slowing down:rolleyes: :confused:

    What was my alternative speed up and get caught by the filth for speeding?

    Maintain your speed of 120km/h and move over when safe to do so. Or did this not occur to you?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Volvoboy


    Yes, but if i moved over when he was right up the back of me i would of gone into the side of a transit van!

    Maybe the other guy was a total and utter w4nker, no need for you to act like one too though, was there ?

    It happened me before too, and I think what you suggest is the right thing.

    For all we know the driver may have been a doctor/taking a sick child to hospital etc... chances were it was just an ignoramus though!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Volvoboy


    I felt a bit better for slowing down and frustrating the driver :)

    Probably because after dark is the only time anyone can actually go over 20 mph on the M50.;)

    nobody said to do that, just to pull over when it was safe and not deliberately drive badly to upset another road user.

    tbh based on your first post with no mention of you overtaking anyone I think you are just changing your story to make yourself look a little bit better.

    I was in the over taking lane to do one thing, overtake cars! Doing the speed limit, and even if i did speed up and tell the story on here id be given abuse for speeding:confused::confused:

    either it was already safe to move over or this doesn't make any sense. either way it shows you to be an incredibly poor and unsafe driver.

    VB you should know better than to come on here with a story like that and expect not to get condemned!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    I think you'll have to start the twelve steps.
    First step, stand up and say "My names VolvoBoy and I'm a wanker".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭Volvoboy


    HA HA HA, cant belive i'm reading this so you are all calling me a wanker! for what i dont know for expressing my opinon?:confused:


    Some of you i've given advice to about your car problems and are calling me a wanker ? !?? Ah the beauty of boards where its quicker to say somthing bad than good.
