Marshmallow maddness!

Post by MEV » Thu Sep 27, 2007 5:46 pm

Hi all

A bit of a rant and I know it’s probably a subject that has been touched on before but.... surely there’s something that can be done?

A couple of nights ago on the way home 1.5mile queue of traffic on the M4 creeping along braking accelerating etc etc any way some 15 mins or so later we arrive at the issue which was some tree hugging, dungaree wearing dolly being fed what looked like marsh mallows seductively by her loving passenger !! Yes they looked like bean flickers.. :evil: and no it wasn’t worth hanging around to get some girl on girl action unfortunately. With an artic to their left and a mini bus behind and me on the right all giving them the good news, pootling around at 55 and completely oblivious to what they were causing and doing.... Now I understand that one must use the middle lane on occasion and it’s not a good idea to lane hop and exceed the speed limit but I did read somewhere that middle lane hogging numnuts cause nearly 60% of all motorway hold ups.... Surely there can be something done maybe use these signs that cost millions to actually say something up to date and useful like “pull the *uc* over donut”... If we can get these idiots in the left lane then perhaps we can all have a stress free journey to and from work, pay less tax and perhaps even enjoy the cars a little more that we have all worked so hard to buy. :) Ideas people or am I the only one that see's this as a problem? Why do they do it?

P.S everyone I know I ask the same question and moan about it and they all say they don’t do it.. So who is doing it?? Are they a particular breed from perhaps another world like the Isle of Wight :shock:

Rant over, thanks for listening :)

Try putting a greaet big rusty I beam on the left side of your car. Consider it ablative armour.

So what you want is to permit undertaking. May I take you to this:-

Quite right MEV, they're a pain in the ar*se!

These people obviously have no road awareness what so ever, don't even think they would notice the large illuminated signs telling them to move over....

one of my pet hates alongside outside lane hoggers. i was taught to always drive in the lane to the left, only pulling out to overtake vehicles in front. the number of times i've followed cars in the outside lane that haven't passed a car in miles but steadfastly refuse to move over is countless. lane discipline these days is horrendous
