[Rant]
not just women drivers, but these are usually the ones that i see breaking the new law about using mobiles whilst driving.
complete nutter, was minding my own business driving with my girlfriend and her brother and was at a steady 50mph in 5th gear and i suddenly see a vw in my rear view mirror. got closer and it was gold, a bora i think.
complete nutter of a woman, i see her flailing her arms about whilst driving then decides to undertake me even though it's busy and speed off way over 50.
i catch up with her at the next roundabout and tell her to wind her window down but she doesn't, go on, catch her again at the next roundabout and she turns off so i followed her, once again tell her to undo her windows and she speeds off again, crazed lunatic.
what does she think shes playing at? trying to race a 1.2 corsa with 3 people in it? pathetic and sad.
above the fact she undertook me and also was speeding (doing at least 80 in a 50), she was on her mobile  and didn't seem to care..
bloody woman, makes me wish i was a police officer just so she could ge ther just desserts.
on another random note - she had a plate with an illegal font and incorrectly spaced numbers and letters.
GRRRRR

you can't possibly chase someone when they are doing way over 50 and you aren't
once again, people don't read the whole rant...
she had to stop at roundabouts as it was busy.
i followed her to ask her what her problem was with me but she didn't want to seem to talk and just sped off again

Nope,
I read it all and concluded the woman probably didn't want to talk to a trio who were following her.
Seems you only see your own perspective of the situation

She undertook you, this to me indicates that there was a spare lane to your left and you were hogging the far lane in a 1.2 with 3 people in it, if so i'd have undertaken you too, gets on my tits, 50mph or not, if there is an empty lane to your left, use it.

wasn't empty at all, i said it was BUSY therefore why should i move over to the left to let someone in front of me who would only reach the next car in front of me 
she undertook, sped off then darted back in front of me.

because when she sped off, i was then behind her
i can't stalk someone who was behind me to begin with, it isn't logical

no it isn't, not when theres a car in front of me and car's on the left
thought people would have common sense to realise this when i said BUSY

Sorry, how did she undertake you if there was a car to your left?

cars in the other lane, not directly on my left
not that hard to undertake a 1.2 in a bora

erm it could be possible  stalkers dont always follow their people everywhere, sometimes they can be infront

So there was space to your left which, by law, you should have been in?

doesn't really bother me mate. i know i was doing nothign wrong, not speeding, abiding the law etc, she undertook me and then had to come back out in front of me as there was cars on the left.
and haimsey, that's a very valid point

If she managed to undertake you you were in the wrong, people like you get right on my tits.

space to fill about 3 bora's, yes.. but why would i pull in when she would not have got much further then me as there were cars in front of me (about 2 car lengths to be precise).
was always taught on my lesson to leave a big space between you and the cars in front..

But as Robin says, she had room to undertake you, therefore you should of been in that space, not sitting in the outside lane.

lol thats complete bullshit. she had a vw bora which is a hell of a lot more powerful than a gutless 1.2 corsa. all she had to drop was drop down a gear then accelerate in the left hand lane then pull out in front of me
