Having followed a Clog ( Centre Lane Owners Group , Member ) doing 65mph up most of the M11 this afternoon, it got made me wonder how many people have been issued tickets for this offence and the offence of tail-gateing sine this ilconcieved peice of inefectual and unenforceable waste of time legislation came in to force earlier in the year.

A funny thing also happened today in the westend today, I was trying to park the Audi in an unfeasibly small pay and display parking bay in Ovington Square. The road is very narrow with parked cars both sides, it took me 3 wiggles to get the car in, by which time several cars were waiting behind to go past , some ignorant git in a Bentley tooted twice to show how important he was, which of course i ignored and carried on parking, when i was finally in just enough he pulled along side, with his window down he gave me the time honoured shake of the wrist , I believe this inferred that I masterbated on a regular basis and especially this afternoon. Now it just so happened my near side window was open so i said to him very nicely , How did a C*%T like him manage to get a car like that, he seemed to find this to be a bit of a sharp reply for his liking and shoot off at some speed!

It put a nice smile on my face

 

i drive on the M1 regularly and no one seems to obey the new rules.

Most people in flash cars drive like cocks in London!

 

Maybe the chap in the Bentley was indicating how he earned his money to purchase such a fine vehicle? professional masturbater or sperm donor perhaps?

 

Most people who drive flash cars in London are cocks, unfortunately ruining the enjoyment for those few who drive for the enjoyment rather than to show off daddy's wealth

 

I think I'd rather hang onto my man-fat than buy/drive a Bentley!

I'm guessing it was a footballer-spec Continental?

 

I do now consdier my self a "Cock" as i drive an Audi !!!, stangely my driving has been as it always has in London, but this is the secound time in recent weeks i have suffered this sort of abuse and god know how many times I have been tooted, mind you that is also down the failure of the Audi stop system to work properly. And until they sort it or admit defeat I need to keep using it to provide them with feed back.

In my previus company vehicle i was most likley more agressive and forthright in my driving style around the city and west end but rarely had any comback. Maybe my words are bit excessive , but to make good progress in a city you do need to be decisive and get on with it or spend all day waiting for other's make thier minds up.

The Bentley Was cream in colour , nothing too bling the driver was middle aged ( like me ) ( or is that old !) and by his looks more likely to have been a firend of the krays or a blagger !

Now does any one have any idea if any one has been issed tickets for the afroementioned offences?

Both the M11 and the bit of M25 I use all the time has very little traffic in lane one and a nice line's of slow traffic in lanes 3 and 4. Oh and not a traffic plod in sight from one week to the next.

 

Given that I don't hang about. Any toot is likely to put me into slomo mode. I may even get out of the car to visually check the space that I'm reversing into.

My favourites are those people that drive so close they can't/don't see your indicator for the space you want to reverse into. When you stop, they are right up your chuff so you can't back up. I absolutely refuse to lose the space in those circumstances. I think the biggest queue 'I' have managed to create would have been about 400 yds on a main road before everyone backed up. I now try and stop before the space, give them time to see that I want to park, then creep forward, but some people can't be helped.

 

if you were following the CLOG up in the M1 in the middle lane...

were you not doing the same?

I'm sure you were in the inside lane however. But 65? really? Or were you were just trying to achieve the claimed MPG that Audi print?

All meant in the nicest possible way of course

 

Just allow undertaking on any side. People that enjoy holding others up (and these are far more of a problem than the simply gormless) would soon realise their best option would be the left hand lane. I couldn't believe what I saw the other day - a person under professional instruction in the right hand (of two) lane of the A24 for over three miles at 30mph. How there wasn't a multiple, serious accident, I will never know.

 

It isn't allowed?

I mean I knew it was frowned upon but really. It seems to be standard practice on the M60.

It's entertaining when the person who spends all their time in the middle lane while people undertake as there's a junction coming up then try and get into the left hand lane to find it now contains the queue of people who undertook them several miles earlier.

Obviously at this point no one is willing to let the middle lane hogger move over so she (It's usually a she)then comes to a halt in the middle lane while trying to force her way in.

It's chaos.

Every single day, chaos.
