    Leaving a gap on the M25, that's unheard of.... Number of times I've been cut up by some cock because I've left stopping distance!!!! If you leave more than 6 inches some idiot will try to put an articulated lorry in there.... Glad I don't drive it anymore....

      On my way into work this morning I passed an accident on the other side of the M25, involving 3-4 cars. I read on the news that one person is dead and another is fighting for life - the motorway is still closed and the accident happened at 5:40am. I have no idea what caused the accident but I'll wager money on the fact that someone was driving like a twat. If you're driving on the motorways, for pittys sakes, check your speed, keep a gap, use your mirrors and be courteous to other drivers. Otherwise it might be me who you crash into - and I don't feel like dieing anytime soon. :| [EDIT] The interweb says it's now re-opened, so I'm off. If I don't show up here again, then a suicidal numpty probably got me. Toodle-ooooo! [/EDIT]

      Unfortunately that's what happens when you put unsuitable people (i.e. most of us) in charge of a vehicle. I can't see any viable solution to that other than to remove the human element altogether.

        And that's bad enough when you're trying to shop in a super market, silly fuckwits, texting whilst pushing the trolley. Once silly cow yesterday had dropped a bag of coins inside the supermarket entrance and had one hand trying to pick them up and the other hand on which the phone pressed to her ear and people where frantically trying to avoid her. Believe me I felt like shoving my trolley firmly up her backside.

          To be fair, it's a rare day that the M25 allows you to go beyond 2 miles per year.

            You do realise that twats don't read, or care. As my father used to say "Just assume that everyone else on the road is a BF".

            Now, what could a BF be? a BullFighter? a BananaFarmer? a BeanFrier? a BetaFersion?

            A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.

                Possible, and most likely were on the phone or putting on make-up or sending a text message - each of which is as bad as DUI. :sigh:

                Or even just having pulled an all nighter. Doing one of those will put your cognitive effectiveness around a .08BAC (the legal limit in the US).

                    Yep, could be any of those; but it isn't.

                      I always thought that this would be an awesome catchphrase if Mr. T was British.
