Motorway Driving - a Rant

[JAG]

1. All people that sit in the middle lane no matter what are tossers.
2. All people that sit in the middle lane with trailers/caravans are tossers.
3. White Van Man is a tosser.
4. All people that enter the outside lane, a cars length in front of me, causing me to brake and cutting my two second safety gap to zilch are tossers.

Good evening.

people who won't pull over into the 3rd lane to let me pull out into the middle lane thus causing me to sit in the mibble lane all the time are tossers for turning me into a tosser.

5. The idiot in the sputum green skoda on the M5 tonight who kept slowing down, then speeding up, and when I'd had enough and went to overtake he went even faster, a tosser

When I am on a motorway, everyone else is a tosser!!

In fact, why not just say any caravan on the road - snails in so many ways!

I don't mind vans - they pootle along as fast as their little transit will carry them, generally move out of the way if you're behind, but usually doing their best to keep a decent speed up anyway - hurray!

Ahhh, the reason for the invention of the horn (hold it for at least 3 seconds, more effective that way)! :O)

With their mobile phones stuck to their ears, deliberately not looking at any other traffic, as they wander out of junctions chattering away

People who insist on driving with the nose of their vehicle 2 feet from my rear bumper, even though I am going more than the speed limit, are complete tossers (and usually salemen in their mondeos so obviously tossers already )

I live in the land of tosser drivers so I think you are all lucky.

Here I am 14 times more likely to die in a road accident than I am in the UK. Out of a population of 2 million there were 875 accidents last week with 57 fatalities.

A policeman told me that the reason everyone drives so close here is that they believe that a small gap will give them less of a collission when they do hit the car infront! No thought that if they left a bigger gap they wouldn't hit the car in the first place!!

A friend was stopped at a round-about when a local lady ran into the back of him. The police arrive and asked how the accident happened. Her reply - ' I don't know as I was looking in my handbag at the time.'

Steps are being taken to improve things but when the driving test takes two minutes and about 0.5km to pass what do they expect.

Not forgetting the tossers that don't move into the middle lane at junctions, and don't let you on the damm motorway in the first place...
