Rover , other driven by male

This driver is a solopsitic troglodyte with a small penis problem. Who rather than being overtaken by a woman would risk an accident by deliberately speeding up during an overtaking manoeuvre. A real idiot.

Cutting me up - report by Wangan updated 03/11/2009
Rover , maroon driven by female
Seen at 05:00pm on 03-Nov-2009 on Hamelin Way Torquay Devon
First, the driver cut me up whilst I was crawling in heavy traffic so I had to brake hard to avoid going into the side of the car. Secondly, on the dual carriageway the driver kept in the outside lane doing just 60mph even after overtaking a slow vehicle on the inside lane so she wouldn't let me pass.
