zain611 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Hate this stupid porsche cayenne driver cutting in front of me not long ago.聽 Should I report him guys? Only thing is in my dash cam clip I did get frustrated and was driving behind him a little close but probably will state my apologese for my frustration in the police report.聽 @Stoney871 what's your thought? Driver cut in front when using the left turn lane to undertake cars. Then further down the road used the bus lane to undertake more cars. Was frustrated and drove close behind but didn't follow him down the bus lane. Mum was yelling also 馃槀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
