Followed an idiot down slip road who attempted to join lane 1 of M5 at 40mph ffs! :eek
Ironically, people sticking to the right hand lane on the slip road, forcing me to undertake really gets my goat.

I get that almost every day on the M5. I followed a BMW up the sliproad in my wife's Hyundai Matrix because I rashly assumed a BMW would accelerate. Nope. And then when they got onto the motorway they immediately get into the middle lane and sit at 65mph. FFS
