Picture this. Just gone 2pm Sunday afternoon, Mothers Day.
Bowling along the A23 Bighton road in Salfords in Surrey heading twards Horley. 911 approaches behind fairly quick but breaks early enough and keeps a safe distance. I spot a White (with council black checkers) Caged up e30 M3 behind it, bobbing and weaving. Out of the blue he pulls into the opposite lane (it's a standard 2 way main drag) and floors it. He's approaching a right hand bend, passes the keep left bollards on the right and is completely on the opposite side of the road. Dangerous was not the word! Anyway, further up he gets held up by some traffic and we catch him up. Just before Vines BMW on the left he makes another move, creating a 3rd lane in between the two lanes and just floors it. Theres grit and sh1t flying everywhere, The oncoming traffic is swerving into the kerb and he just keeps going again into a slight right hander hander.
We get to the shell petrol station at the chequers roundabout and he's filling up with fuel. He makes a gesture to the 911. I pull in and make a note of his number.
Telling you now, he's a dangerous sod. This is mid afternoon and it's busy. What brings it home is having my wife and 9 year old in the car. He could have killed numerous people this afternoon and it's hard to paint a good E30 picture when theres idiots like this about giving the scene a bad name. theres a time and place for everything, (action at the Ace is not unknown) but putting other innocent road users at risk is inexcusable.
Should he be reported to the police? Would they be interested? Doubt it!
RANT OVER
