It’s the first full week of the year, I’m back behind the wheel and guess what? Yep, a couple of the brainless numpties are back too. This post is about one in particular.
This morning I entered on to the M5 – straight in to three lanes of solid traffic. Great.
Lane one is almost entirely composed of HGV’s travelling at their limited speed of 56 mph.
Lane two is composed of a nine-mile long tail of vehicles all travelling at 58mph. They’re doing this random speed because holding up the front of the line is another fcuking HGV-driver whose limiter will let him/her travel 2 (two!) miles per hour quicker than all the other lorries s/he’s desperately trying to overtake.
It’s like watching armour-clad snails racing each other (where the word ‘race’ equals a difference of speed of two miles every sixty minutes).
There are about twenty vehicles held up in lane two behind the fcuking stupid HGV driver as s/he sadistically tries to overtake the other lorries before s/he gets to her/his junction!
Lane three is full of every other vehicle that is desperately trying to overtake the HGV-driving numpty in lane two.
Welcome to 2008.
We hope you have a great time here.

M5’s a sodding mare.
was in Northants pootling down the A14 earlier in the week. They’re doing an interesting experiment restricting HGV’s to the inside lane only at certain times of the day on certain stretches.
A council showing a bit of common sense ? (Ducks low flying pink animal )
Gumph me old mate. If God wanted to give the British Motorway system an enema, the M5 is where he’d stick the tube. Probably that bit of the M5 south of the Strensham services which, for some completely incomprehensible reason is unlit!
