Some call it Butt Squeak.
Others lose their bottle.
I am very lucky to be breathing. Had I not got the depth and breadth of driving knowledge, I'd be a car wreck on the A1 right now and many of you may have been in the tailback if it had happened.
Lets just put this out there so that everyone who does it understands that the act of ...
BREAK CHECKING
Is now a criminal offence and punishable with up to two years in prison.
The situation that transpires on the A1 this morning could have not only put me but a friend in a couple of body bags had I not been proficient at driving and handling a vehicle.
Not only did this cretin push his way past me causing me to swerve back in to Lane 1 of the A1 but had to break because the vehicle I was overtaking was a lorry and I was about to hit it, the back end swung out and I had to counter it by throwing the front end in to lane 2, where Mr Richard Head (think of short name for Richard) decided to then break check me, needing further breaking to bring the car under some control. he speeds off doing at least 90 mph.
Dashcam footage, check... Police, Check. They confirm that break checking is dangerous driving and this driver could have caused an accident that killed people. I had no idea who this guy was but its not the first time I have been mistaken for another driver as my car is very common as is its particular colour, so again, I am the victim of some ass hat and their instant justice.
I'd share the footage but the police want it as I think from what they said, I wasn't the only person to have been calling in the driver, the guys driving erratic for sure. So I think that they will be giving the idiot a tap on the shoulder.
I'd done nothing wrong, I'd indicated my intentions, committed to a manoeuvre, had ensures I had the space and the speed and was clear to continue and followed the protocol you follow when over taking on a dual carriage way.
This is how erratic he was, the single track road that is a major A road that passes a UK HQ of a company that is well known on the high streets is a single lane track, Mr Head, our Ritchy decides he wants to try and pass the lorry carrying the car its transporting. like he is 7ft wide, 3ft gap, was never going to happen.
The only reason he is being reported is because his actions were intentional and could have killed me and my friend and others.
So remember. Don't get yourselves put in prison for doing something as stupid as break checking people, even if they are in the wrong for doing something that upset you, its you that could end up with the harder lesson.
