Getting pulled out in front of.
I have found that my 940 estate is prone to other drivers pulling out in front of it. I regularly have to slow down as other drivers pull out of junctions or force their way in front of me as they change lane.
I was expecting the opposite, that people would not want to risk an accident as it is an old, big car. My Jag S Type was the opposite, it was rare someone would pull out in font of it. |

I wonder if it was tatty, would they pull out then? A relative had an old Landrover and he commented on how one ever cut him up when driving it.

In the late 1970s I always enjoyed going round Marble Arch in an old Morris 1000. Everybody knew that car was more solid than theirs, and more easily repaired. Everyone except Land Rover and Volvo drivers.

I dive V70 mk2.
Somehow very very rarely someone is trying these tricks with me.. Maybe its my "Vin Diesels school of motoring" approach.. |

Sapphire black xc70 with dash cam front and rear. Amazing how many people slow down when I'm behind them.
Have had the Audi idiots come up the sliproad at 110 and barge their way across 3 lanes to get trapped in the 50 mph crawl that is the "fast" lane on crowded motorways but in general few deliberately try to cut me up. The works van and the landrover are no rocket ships so I normally let folk pull out ahead of me if I can. Paul. |
