Motorway madness!

That dotted line between slip and main carriageway is in fact a 'Give Way' line

I thought you were supposed to drive down the dotted line at great speed.. at least thats what my driving licence application said

"Tear along dotted lines"

Bob Monkhouse must be spinning..........

  Good one Alan!

Anyway, my real pet hate is the driver in lane 1 (left hand lane), who approaches the on slip and brakes to let a car in from the left - whilst going at 60mph +, causing the following line of cars to brake hard, despite following the 2 second rule. It is also to avoid those situations I get into lane 2. This is a favourite tactic by numpty drivers on the A38, between the M1 and Derby.

On my way home from Ross on Wye to Bridgwater, I came across the classic -

Travelling at a constant speed, lets say 70 (the limit) or something like that hehehehe! - I came across a situation on a section of 4 track motorway, a car doing 60 in lane 3 and a row of cars trying to pass it down lane 4 all being slowed down by the congestion!!!

The obvious happened and several cars then used the, totally empty lanes 1 and 2 to undertake the &%$*^%£(&^$( driver before returing across the motorway lane to the fast lane!

I just backed off, dropped in out of the way til it sorted out then passed them when it was safe and legal to do so!!

Seeing driving like this, I am delighted that thereis talk the Police are going to start dealing with it, the problem lies with the other question -

Do you ever see a copper when someone is driving like a 'beep beep beep'?

Only once...

A few years ago when driving on the local dual carriageway bypass in lane 1 at traffic speed, just below 60;- lane 2 was busy with the usual Jenson Button types hurtling along nose to tail at 'slightly' higher speeds . One of them cut in behind me just before an off slip and sat practically in my back seat flashing his lights all the way down the slip (he got even more annoyed as there was a lot of traffic coming from the right and I had to wait for a gap). The road off the roundabout was another dual carriageway but the left hand lane was a bus lane. Mr Plonker obviously thought he was  going to be able to overtake so decided to cut into the bus lane and floored it flicking the v's to me out of the driver's window. Pity he hadn't noticed the car with the fancy blue lights and blue chevron vinyls on it just behind him...

I have once pity it was the copper himself

It happened almost 40 years ago when our village bobby (remember them?) backed out of his drive onto the main road, ok it wasn't as busy then as it is now. But he failed to notice a car almost on his driveway entrance.... BANG..CRASH...WALLOP one very embarrassed Policeman and one none to please motorist.

We wild boys were so very happy

The same copper had a police saint motorcycle and we wild boys would race him to the next town in Norfolk where the cop shop was. As long as we let him win we could almost do what speed we liked
