Lloyd, no doubt you are peed off as I suspect that they are undercutting your business by doing things on the cheap - however strictly speaking 'they' could be indian, bangladeshi or pakistani, even sri-lankan etc. etc.
I know plenty of pure born english stock who run dodgy vehicles, no insurance and red diesel..
I'm generally against political correctness for its own sake, but as my wife is light brown in colour and not from round these parts I'm not keen on racism (builders from essex excepted....
..and the french obviously)

Dob them in like I have done in the past
especially no insurance/no licence/defective vehicles. I'm not feeling PC at the moment - it may pass.

So... all you IAM drivers out there - what did I do wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong - You were riding fast, you were aware of something unusual ahead and gut reaction told you to change lane - Gut reaction is not some hippy, e.s.p., subjective thing - It's the lifetime of experience that all of us and our ancestors have had which has kept us alive for millions of years, and that unconsciuosly informs our decisions. (Just don't rely on it being right every time - ever seen the Darwin Awards?).
A couple of years ago I ignored a gut feeling about a car approaching a junction, and I had my car written off as a consequence - Feel the Force Man
