    Almost killed an utter mong on a motorbike on the M11 at about 11pm a couple of days ago.

    He was stooging along in a lorry's slipstream, about an inch from the back of it doing about 60 in the slow lane; but as I drew almost level, doing about 100, in the next lane he darted out to overtake!

    Had to stand on the brakes (no way would I swerve in the circs) and *just* slowed down in time. Gave him a right earful with the horn after he had pulled back in front of the lorry.

    Can't see the idiot lasting long if he keeps riding a bike like that.

    Tulip, I fit two out of the three criteria. Best take the train, then
