1st time i started driving again tonight since i was in a car crash 3 weeks ago, i'm so edgey on how other people drive and what there doing. Driving a standard focus is nice, don't get any attention from people trying to race or woteva, but watching other modified cars drive i wonder why i got flashes,people up my ass,trying to race etc etc.. i thought i'd get away from this, but even tonight i had one or two cars driving up my ass for no reason on a motorway doing 70 cutting me up nearly driving into me, even a little clio trying to be cocky with a man and his wife in. Whats it all about? so many cocks on the road these days it's untrue.

Thats alright lol.
You get so many people who moan that people are doing it when they are sitting in the fast lane.
Idiots don't understand what they are doing wrong.

because you specifically mentioned that you were scared of other road users as if it was someone else that randomly crashed into you causing your' accident.

yes i am, and i think any1 who has been in a crash regardless if it's there fault or not will be more edgy and more carefull on the road, or you get pricks who don't give a shit go buy a fast car again and do the same

lol, i think i do my friends heads in but it's because the accident has woken me up and i've relised i mite not get another chance even if it's my fault or someone elses. if you was to drive a normal car unmodified for a day u'd relise how many idiots there still is even if there modified or not will supprise you!

yeah i know about all the idiots, it seems no matter what kind of car you got or how old you are, idiots try and take you on.
i get picked on a lot in that corsa, but because im 25 and value me insurance premiums and clean liscence i dont bother. just let em get on with it.

yeah, 99% i will not drive a modified car again, due to the hastle of other people on the road and the amount of stupid money you put into it, i know it's a hobby etc and people do it because they want to and rather do that than spend it on drugs, drink and chuck there lifes away be a bum but i chucked to much money away in that corsa and its time to get something nice but something i'm not going to chuck money away on it, people have different view but if i want to see my next birthday this is the way forward for me

i agree, doing what ive wanted to cars has probably cost me, i dunno, 30k in the 8 years ive been driving. thats mad, thats a brand new imprezza, lol.
mine is a hobby and i save 90% of my driving fast for the 1/4 mile days me and me mates do.
if your still interested in cars, maybe just change from fast cars to cars with class stereo's
