Changing lanes has become a lot more more predominant in the last few months again, I see it happen in about 50% of my journeys through the tunnel. Bull

Changing lanes has become a lot more more predominant in the last few months again, I see it happen in about 50% of my journeys through the tunnel. Bull Serious, I don't know if we've had a lot of foreign visitors, very few foreign tunnels disallow lane changes. I don't go through at peak times, about 9:45am and 4pm once or twice a week. Some of the lane changes I couldn't even understand like getting themselves stuck behind a slower car not far from the entrance - very surreal. On my last three journeys through the Queensway Tunnel I saw people change lane each time, I don't think I've ever seen it in the Kingsway. one of whom assaulted me not that long ago.. S**t Guy got far too close (10ft-ish), I indicated for him to pull back, he came closer (6-8ft), I gently slowed down to 20mph, he got closer still (like under 3ft at times), went through over half the tunnel at that speed. Far end I got stopped at lights, my window was open about 3"-4" and he managed to pop me, skinny bloke! I reported it to police, they visited him and he came clean straight away, had no previous and swore it was out of character (things going on at the time etc), police said they thought he was absolutely genuine. I chose to let him off, its on record, if he makes a habit the police will do more, if it was a one off then no harm done, I'm not into affecting people careers, insurance etc for a one-off temper tantrum.

When commercial vehicles with names on misbehave like that I phone the company up and give them an ear-bending.
Yes, I've also been thinking about a rear facing camera for a while, the forward facing one has been useful a few times. Its good if you have a dashcam. Make a complaint and see what they come back with. Then send them the dashcam footage. A signed van jumped red lights and was swerving from lane to lane on the M53 some years back. I complained to the company. They spoke to the driver who didn't agree with my version of events. So I sent them the dashcam footage and they dismissed him immediately.

Us: The item didn't arrive today Them: Yes, it did, it arrived at 1:12pm Us: Do you want a copy of the CCTV footage? Them: [pause] We'll deliver it tomorrow. Its so much quicker than arguing the toss with them.

So you can choose to have someone driving on your tail shortening your life expectancy or not.
Really? Pull over, let them on their way. Job done. It’s unlikely you’re going to die because someone is a bit close to you going through the Mersey Tunnel.

Why can’t people just get on with their lives without making it their mission to get offended or waste time on trivial matters. Let alone spending time as I mentioned above downloading footage with the sole aim of causing someone else misery. Get a life Gibbo.
