What you fail to realise Mike is that there is some one else as strong willed and self opinionated as you are. There have been several occasions when I have been passing junctions, after assessing my view into then and moving out into the road further to increase my safety margin, and some idiot has come blundering out without checking properly. I would like a pound for every time a vehicle has jumped a red light on me through either inattention or just plain stupidity. On some of these occasions the only course of action, and to avoid being hit in the side ls sharp acceleration as the only course of action. Then there are the idiots who change lanes without checking, who pull out of a side road into a sixty limit when you are right on top of them. I can think of at least one occasion when slamming it down a gear and hitting the accelerator has saved me from a crash. However safely you drive what Lars said is true, always leave yourself a get out, and sometimes that means acelaration rather than swerving or breaking hard. Stop being so biased against people who drive large, fast, prestige cars. I have seen more potential accident situations caused by drivers of small slow cars that anything else.
