I looked in the mirror and saw all six cars frantically turn off to the short cut at which time I booted it like Paddy Hopkirk , left at the T Junction and past the end of the shortcut. I then slowed down to 28mph again. All six cars now following me again.

Nice one!

I was once stuck behind a vast transporter, doing about 4 MPH on the M40, carrying what looked like Saturn 5 rocket on its side or something not far short of that in size.

After an hour or so, I managed to nip past it, and shortly afterwards dropped into a service station for a few minutes. But after I rejoined the motorway, guess what was trundling along just in front of me

Was once driving along a residential street in the dark doing just under the 30mph when I was overtaken by another car. Thought impatient sod, then another car overtook me. Was beginning to think what the **** when the 2nd car turned on some nice blue flashing lights to stop the first driver

I hate slow drivers as well, as dangerous as speeders.

No, it's still the speeders who are dangerous for acting like dicks around the slow drivers.

Me too, but as I said this was a residential street with a large hump every few feet.

I thought that this would be a thread about Eek's lovelife. Gentile told me that he couldn't even get his trousers off before (cough!)

Exactly. Driving gets me from A to B. Id rather do it safely and not die in a motorway pile up than get there 30 seconds quicker.

80+ year olds watching you have mutual oral sex on the motorway is scary

whatever floats your boat!

on Saturday I was doing 69 on the motorway in middle lane overtaking HGVs, the amount of people that came up behind me at 80+ was scary.

drivers in the UK are scary.

I drive a couple of mph below the speed limit (as a moment's distraction can take you over the limit if you drive on the limit )

There doesn't seem to be too many loonies around who need to overtake but they're welcome to if they do...

Im talking about people going 50mph on a motorway or 20mph on a 30.

As I've mentioned before if you want to experience road rage just drive to speed limits.

Reminded me of… many years ago one evening I was driving to town; not in a hurry I decided to do 28mph. About half a dozen cars were queuing behind. A 'T' junction was about ¼ mile ahead where traffic turn left to go to town. However, there is a shortcut left known to the locals.

2)If he drives like that how was the van not totally smashed up already?

It was probably stolen.
