Looking forward to the commute

So he was racing and you were driving normally - but you were side by side for ages?

Not hard - I've seen these imbeciles darting all over road during the Friday afternoon crush on the extensive roadworks and contraflow section of the M1, cutting people up left, right and centre.

It always amused me that despite risking their lives and the lives of others with clearly increasing stress over several miles, the unpredictability of the traffic meant that I, driving at no more than 50mph, would never be more than three or four cars behind them by the time we reached the end of the roadworks.

By assessing the situation calmly and being aware of the patterns of traffic flow, I often contrived to be a couple of cars in front of them, if they'd been really annoying

Best way to deal with such idiots is let them get up your chuff, acclerate toward slower moving traffic (no braking) and then move over at the last minute!

This morning while driving in I had the pleasure of nearly being killed by a complete tw@t driving an 02 reg MGF. This tit was racing down the hard shoulder (the motorway was moving well as I was doing about 80 in the fast lane. He then cut right over 3 lanes of traffic and nearly took the front off my car in the process. He got the usuall geastures. He then moved back to the midddle lane to undertake a few cars before going back to the hard shoulder to undertake some lorries.

By the end of the M621 he slowed sitting in lane 1. I was heading down in lane 2 (only 2 lanes on this bit) as I got to the back end of his car he yanked the wheel so that he came half way into my lane to try to force me into the central reservation before darting back over the chevrons and off the motorway.

Anyone else on the M62 this morning?

Chipboard lorry fire - I was parked up from 6:30 to 9am!!!

Only half a mile away, so really frustrating.

No it was a MGF - my diesel Mondeo could almost keep up

Couldn't have been a Passat then. Those things are hot

MGF hey, he was probably rushing to get to a garage before his head gasket gave out and engine seized
