i can barely afford this 1.2 on insurance, repairs etc..
everyone has to start somewhere
I don't expect anything of you or anyone in your situation, I've been in it. IF they didn't make such woeful cars then, there would be a higher benchmark for insurance group 1.

sounds like he was a cunt, but you certainly wasn't breaking any laws if you were overtaking traffic on the inner lane.
If you were just plodding alone in the outter lane and not gainin on the traffic on the inner lane, then yes, you were braking the law and should have moved over.

He drives a 1.2 so its safe to assume that there was no "rapid gaining" going on.  On a more serious note woeful performance cars should be illegal, too dangerous, i used to hate my 1.poo i think they should be banned.
If they didn't make "woeful cars", as you put it, then it would be like that badger who borrowed his dads porsche (someone of here i believe) and wrap it into a tree - which would certainly cause more congestion than over taking in the outter, in traffic doing the speed limit.
Plus because of this, your insurance would be ridiculous and it would be likely that you couldn't afford a performance car. And then manufacturers would then start manufacturing "woeful" cars as the country can't afford anything with any performance because 17 year old badgers keep crashing them into trees and fields

I personally would of tore at the back of you flashing the old high beamage and if you didn't pull over within 5 seconds would of undertook you and give you 'the look'.... if you returned 'the look' you would then be my new friend to follow and throw abusive language at for the next few junctions and make you believe i was a complete psycho.... i'd then feel stress relief

you have gone from one extreme to another, i mention abolishing 45 bhp unargueable woeful cars, and you pipe up about porsches!
only talking maybe lowest being 60bhp, in similar weighted car, i used to fear for my life pulling out of junctions etc they are so unresponsive, so hardnot to disrupt the flow of traffic when it takes so long to get going or to accelerate from any speeds.

You sound like a typical tosser of a bmw driver, the type of badgers that makes me accelerate whilst you're undertaking just so you can't get into car length space in between my car and the one infront

surely just take it easy, if the bloke behind has to wait an extra 5 secs...what does it matter?

I am that man just still in a 12v corsa But TBH it's one rule for me..... if somebody undertook me while i was trying to get soembody else to move i also wouldn't let them in!
However it is a regualr occurance that on my way to college i undertake 5 cars in the outside lane and say on in the middle at the same time....... down the inside lane :S that really ticks them off

you wouldn't have a choice, it would take you a minute to accelerat that 5-10mph more, they would already be gone.
Ben, i'm ranting about 1.2 8v's not yours in particular. you were the catalyst that brought all the nightmare thoughts flowing back with the mention of 1.2!

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
[/Rant]
if your doing 50mph in a 50mph zone and going fast enough to overtake the traffic in the left hand lane then you can stay out overtaking as long as your not leaving huge gaps amongst them and lets be honest the length of 3 corsas isnt much by the time you went in youd have to indicate to come back out, shes a badger for doing 80 and undertaking 
i always remember driving on a motorway and seeing a car that was undertaking another slam its brakes on then hit the car in front of it dum bugger obviously didnt realise his stoping distance at the increased speed was a lot more than the one in front, we were a few cars behind but he was driving like an idiot as he passed us so he kinda deserved it,the car he undertook just kept driving btw
