The person responsible ought to be jailed. Just for long enough...

with nick. People paying more attention to their speedo's than the road in Gatso zones is also a huge danger!
Worse still are those who don't check the speedo, and still hammer the brakes when they see a camera, regardless of what speed they were actually doing

Bang on the nail Nick.



Walking around Hamburg I always forget and stroll along pathways and often wander into the cycle paths.
Jesus Christ, the cyclists go ape shit - every single one if you put a foot wrong.
And as you say its the same on the highway.

About time we started harassing 'middle lane losers'

Until we do something about the standard of driving in this country I don't see the point in increasing them.
I think it's the standard of people actually mate.

I had the same nonsense on the A264 going to Gatwick the other morning. Its 5am, traffic is light and I have a busy day and a flight to catch.

Bib were in an Audi A3 (4 door) travelling at 60mph in the outside lane and slow right down to a roundabout. No other cars are nearby. The go straight at the roundabout, but remain in the outside lane with nothing in the inside one....and slowly crawl to 60.

I close up behind them, wondering if I should just undertake.... no response to my closing in so I flashed them. Its dark, I have xenons...he noticed.

In response I get his blue rearward flashing lights to tell me to back off..... he then pulls into the inside lane, accelerates to 68 so I have no option but to sit behind him.

Awkward cock.....

This could be a coincidence, but these reports suggest there are some right aresols down there with nothing better to do.

Maybe an email to Cleggeron is appropriate?

what do you mean?

your statement

"Police cannot convict anyone for "shit driving" so will always go for the person speeding"

is factually incorrect

Ok, my opinion of shit driving may not be dwdcaa to the police. I refer to middle lane sitting, fog lights on with no fog (never seen anyone pulled for it and is a common sight), lack of indication and cutting lanes at roundabouts.

Would the biffer you referred to earlier really get done for no due care?
