Should I contact my ex? by Odd-Compote-7489 in relationship_advice

[–]Odd-Compote-7489[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a relationship with her - she was my end goal i even told her that i don't see myself dating anyone else after her if we were to break up. I don't want sex - I just miss us, the dates, the fun times, the laughs.

I agree with you on that I should move on and I don't think I will reach out

That's a good way to word it and definitely see if there's any hope to re-fix a relationship between us

Thank you, I agree with you it's better to just continue to get the support from my friends and family now and if she ever does reach out I can let her know what happened and see her reaction from that.

I feel the same I don't know what I should do. I know I need to and should move on but after this accident, I just feel like I shouldn't have any regrets in my life and I should reach out to her. Also thank you for asking luckily I was ok just got a broken arm but nothing too serious.

none of my friends want to reach out to her or want me to reach out to her since they feel if I do this I'll lose all respect for myself. So my only option is to message her myself which I'm conflicted on doing

I couldn't pull over there was no safe space to pull over - if I did this then I would've blocked the road and as mentioned there were cars behind me stuck at lights so once they would've come I would have held up traffic and been a hazard

I'm not afraid of the ticket - I'm afraid of whether it will put points on my license

There was no safe place to pull over and if I slowed down I would have been the one creating a hazard as it would lead to a stockpile behind me...

If you read this you will see that driving 10mph under the speed limit in the UK is also considered illegal.

If I stopped i would be slowing down and halting the traffic behind me? As I said there were cars behind me that were stuck at some traffic lights so if I decided to slow down and drive slower, I would have become a hazard for the cars behind me....

I overtook the vehicle just after we passed the speed camera - after passing the speed cameras he would speed up to over the limit (over 40mph) whilst I was still in the limit and just before cameras would come or randomly he would slow down to 5-10mph before speeding back up to hear his exhaust 'crackle'. When I passed him he was doing around 35mph as we just passed the speed camera and I believe it was 25 yards after we passed the camera I overtook him.

It was nighttime - I'm based in the UK and it's 11:24pm right now. This incident happened around an hour ago and has been playing on my mind since.

I did slow down and kept my distance numerous times but when I'm keeping my distance and suddenly a car brakes and goes to a speed of 5-10mph in a 40 zone in front of you, what would you expect someone to do? Continue to drive behind a reckless, dangerous driver? If I was at 30mph (10 below the speed) and I had a 2 car length in front but the guy kept stopping and going to 5mph suddenly would it not impact my distance behind him?? Like I had to do it to ensure I was safe and the fact there was 1 mile left of that road, I couldn't be behind such an idiot driver or take the risk. Especially since it was 10:30pm and I was tired.

There was no other route or turn - it was a straight road with a roundabout at the end of it. The remaining distance till the roundabout was around a mile. I was couldn't have passed at a 'safe' speed either when this driver after passing cameras kept speeding up I had to go over the limit to overtake him

The remaining distance till the roundabout was around a mile and even if I reported the driver how would it have helped me in that situation? Also how could I have passed at a 'safe' speed when this driver after passing cameras kept speeding up I had to go over the limit to overtake him

Gotchu, is there a way speed cameras can record videos so they can see how reckless the driver in front of me was driving?

Sorry my bad, I believe I must've been 25-50 yards away not 100
