She hates Porsche drivers ! - Page 1 - Boxster/Cayman - PistonHeads UK

We'll heading along the m25 , at Dartford tunnel as you go thru the new non payment barriers northbound ,( Dartford to essex)I was in the outside lane , there is a slight adverse camber and some sought of chicane , where the lane twist to the left , if you do not pay attention it's quite easy to cut the lane and t bone the car in front .. We'll the car in question was a red boxster , driving by older gentlemen , who floored the car at the barriers ,without thinking about the chicane which dinks to the left , as I was ahead driving normal , my misses was screaming , he's going to hit us from behind on the left hand side , so I emergency braked , as he was cutting the lane anyway .. My actions had stopped him from ploughing into me .... Boy! my journey north was hell now , the older gentlemen in his boxster seemed oblivious to the anxiety his caused , my missus , who by now had turned into , Pat Butcher on a bad day..... Anyway if the gentlemen is on here and reading this , no hard feelings from me , I put it down to the highways department ,what a crap design of road , which has been changed ...from the original set up I may follow this up , as I suspect I may not be the first this has happened to ... As the titles says , my Misses probably hates me to ! Merry Xmas to all Porsche men

Get rid mate! It's the Pat Butcher comment - shocking visual and enough to make you crash even without the help of granddad in the red Pork! Sounds like you got away likely...

I have to admit to always flooring it at the Dartford barriers (or any other such barriers) but I always keep my eyes open 360 degrees and I always assume the other cars will not see me / expect my acceleration (obviously, I'm always within the speed limit). That's why I generally prefer the rightmost lane at such barriers so I have to only look on one side. Seems like the gentleman with the Boxster was not paying enough attention and driving carelessly - no excuse. I was once a passenger with a friend who went into a middle lane, flooring it afterwards and going between two cars who were in the process of merging. I was very pissed off as it was quite dangerous - having fun is okay but not when it endangers others (at least in my conservative opinion).

Went through the barrier today . Think the chicane set up is temporary.

If he was behind you and you did an crazy brake thing, how did he not hit you, If he is behind you, he is not going to crash into you is he . I don't get it.

Slickhillsy sorry to put the image of Pat Butcher in your head ... But be rest assured my misses looks like Demi Moore. With real assets , there ugo is that a better image . Mr demon sorry did not explain very we'll , as I was influenced by some very bad mates that night , Jack and Daniel ... At the Barriers you have a about 6 lanes as you approach the tunnel it filters down to 2 lanes .. With chicanes , now the red boxster was behind me in another lane , but had accelerated to fast and trying to squeeze thru a gap in the middle of cars, (undertaking me )which is my near side , as there is a chicane there ,he would of rammed me , t boned me or side swipe me .. Call it what you like .. I was not going to rely on his judgement and put my family at risk ..that why I emergency braked .. Maybe the driver lacked visual awareness ," short sighted " but for me when pressing on at speed I'm definitely looking way a head anticipating what other drivers might do .. C3 m explained that he's mate tried this manovre , while a passenger as it's dangerous ..".nuff said " .. On my return journey essex to Kent there are no barriers on the end of the bridge , it's straight thru so no hold ups ...
