I was driving to work this morning when a car came flying past at high speed overtaking me and the car in front of me. The driver then tried to overtake the next car but had to bail at the last minute as a bus was coming the other way. He had to break hard so I had to hit the breaks as did the car behind me and so on.
As soon as there was a space he overtook the car. Further up the road I found myself behind him again and watched as he went through a set of lights just after they had turned red. A little further on in my journey I hit some traffic and noticed that the same car was a little further down the road. He was back to his old trick of overtaking and in the process of doing so nearly hit a car coming the other way. He was causing chaos and people were breaking and beeping their horns at him.
Well it turned out that this moron works in the same building as me. He nearly killed himself and other roads users and all it achieved was getting him to work 2mins quicker than if he had driven more sensibly. I know he only saved 2mins because he had just finished parking his car as I arrived at the entrance barrier.
I parked my car and then walked over and told him exactly what I thought of his driving. I would never resort to violence but I’m a big bloke and he looked more than a little concerned that he was about to find himself at the business end of my right fist. He is a typical example of a kid who is cocky and ‘hard as nails’ when driving his car but then whimpers like a frightened little boy when standing toe to toe with someone older and bigger. I honestly thought he was going to start crying.
If I see him driving like that again I’m going to take a note of his number plate and then report him to the Police.
