Hold Up or Held Up

Driving around today, it occured to me that motorists must fall into 2 groups ...

(1) Those who HOLD UP everyone else.

(2) Those who get HELD UP.

I feel like I've spent the whole day looking at the backs of cars in the outside lane, which are doing the same speed as the cars in the inside lane.

... or pottering along the windy roads insanely slowly ... and speeding up on the straight bits, so you can't get past.

I don't think I have EVER held up the traffic.

But somewhere out there ... are the people who HOLD US UP !!

Come on ... which are you ?

WARNING !

If you are one of the motorists who pull out to overtake, just as I am almost level, so I have to brake like mad ... and then you overtake at 2mph faster than the car on the inside lane, and then, when I invite you to

"Get out of the fcuking way, you senile t!t"

... you go through the ridiculous routine of indicating for 30 seconds, and slowly edging back over ...

(I KNOW you're moving over, you pea brain, because if you don't, I'm going to RAM YOU !!) ...

Well, if you're one of them ...

... then there may be repercussions !!!

Bob ... And your point ?

If I switch on the cruise control at 110 (erm ... hypothetically, of course!)

=0/

... I don't need to find some t!t in a little hatchback parked in the outside lane.

But anyway, for what it's worth, as it was sunny today, I was out in the MGF

(which is even more annoying, because you can't see past the car in front!!)

That's cool, Doc.

I don't think 4x4s are big on acceleration. Mine has a good top end, but if you put your foot down, you can hear the fuel tank emptying !!

I had no point really JJ, I was just being annoying :D

Doc, i find the worst drivers are Audi A3 and A4 drivers. Arrogant, pretentious, annoying and rude. They especially don't like the fact that my 02 plate diesel family car has enough horses under the bonnet to leave them behind....
