To me, to you. Up a bit, down a bit. Is this the latest driving craze.

Oh don’t get me started on drivers who can’t regulate their speed on a motorway!
The ones that keep driving up to the car in front, then brake heavily, then drop back, then close the gap again and brake, over and over again, causing the traffic domino effect.....bloody stupid!

I came across one of those in the McDonalds near my work ; I was sitting in my car having lunch when the moron opposite opened the drivers door of his van and tossed all his rubbish underneath the van - there was a bin not 10 feet away , and not as if it was raining or anything ...

Anyway , as he drove off , I dialled the number clearly sign written on the side of the van , and asked to speak to the manager ; the person on the other end replied that he was the owner , so I related what I had just seen and commented that it didn't reflect very well on his company . To my surprise the gentleman agreed with me and said to leave the matter with him .

About 10 minutes later , chummy returned and picked up his rubbish , all the time looking daggers round the car park trying to figure who had dobbed him in ; as it was the place was busy and it could've been any one of several people .

I found that both funny and satisfying .

That reminds me of a story I read years ago. Guy got cut up on a roundabout by a transit so he called the how's my driving number to complain saying something along the lines of idiot driver, he looks he's thick as two short planks, ugly looking bald headed gorilla, etc, etc.
Person on the other end of the phone says, are you the red Escort in front of me?.

Behaviour like in the OP is why I sit at three figures in the outside lane regardless of traffic conditions.

Bruce I'm with you. However I will say I've been in a car with one of them, a man who seemed completely unaware of anything going on around him, who would apply a digital binary throttle to regulate speed meaning I was headbanging for the whole journey, who would sit in any lane he liked regardless of traffic, who would see a car pull out into his lane half a mile in the distance and suddenly wake up to his surroundings and slam the brakes on in panic.
This is why I would agree that an indication to the Disco man would probably have woken him up, and he would have dropped back or gone past you - otherwise they remain oblivious.

Maybe they were using adaptive cruise control?
