Letter: You don't have to be a sexist pig to hog the road

MARK BISHOP (Letters, 7 February) tries hard to pose as the reasonable face of motoring but, like one of his Performance Car readers stuck behind an obstinate fool who insists on keeping within the legallimit, he soon loses patience and, by the final paragraph, he's giving it some welly.

There's nothing wrong with driving at '80-90mph on a dry, empty motorway or rural B-road away from villages', he blithely asserts. Well, next time I'm driving or cycling or walking on a pleasant little road in the country and some arrogant, turbocharged sociopath comes hurtling around the corner in his pathetic penis- substitute, at least I'll have an idea that it may be a Performance Car reader . . .
