Badger Jun 2019 8:23pm, 3 Jun 2019 10,838 posts	Quote Pin Badger Somebody did that in Sainsbury's car park on Christmas Eve, Sazzahazza (I was only there because it turned out my parents were short a turkey, gave up driving round in circles and went somewhere with a bigger car park in the end).
Surrey Phil Jun 2019 8:26pm, 3 Jun 2019 3,029 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil I was driving down an empty road at 6.00 am on Sunday when I passed a speed check saying that I was doing 45 mph in a 30 mph zone, and I was doing 30 mph as well - only to then look in my rear view mirror to see someone appear from nowhere and virtually driving in my boot.

Carpathius Jun 2019 9:29pm, 4 Jun 2019 17,148 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius Conversely, people doing fucking 45mph in the outside lane of the A12.
Badger Jun 2019 10:33pm, 4 Jun 2019 10,858 posts	Quote Pin Badger Oh indeed. Encountered someone doing 60 in the middle lane of the M6 Toll. Beats me why you’d pay extra to go the same speed the toll-free road goes, never mind why you’d do it anywhere but the inside lane.
Carpathius Jun 2019 7:04am, 5 Jun 2019 17,149 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius I'd already endured miles upon miles of "roadworks" on the M4 with 50mph speed limit. Lots of cones etc but NO human beings or machinery doing anything at all. Which is another thing that grinds my gears.
