Daggers Posted 7 August 2009 Posted 7 August 2009 What's the fucking point to motorways these days? If it isn't a contraflow reducing speed to less than walking pace then it is some half-sharp gawping at an accident or having a wank instead of accelerating. It took me three hours to get off the M6 the other week and then I spent two hours on the frigging M25 today. On a bastard motorbike spewing heat, unable to get through the narrow-laned contraflow. Then I got held up all the way up the M1 and M6. Me? I'd ban caravans, cars under 2 litres and anyone who's not driven 50,000 miles. Wankers.
lou Posted 7 August 2009 Posted 7 August 2009 I used to love motorway driving.... just being able to put my foot down and tank it without some moron hitting me head on while overtaking on a bend or a hill, but now its shite. Doesnt seem to matter where youre going or what time of day theres roadworks, average speed cameras or tailbacks. Add to this the feckin numpties who dont know how to use the lanes correctly and its all set for hours of rage!
AoWW Posted 7 August 2009 Posted 7 August 2009 You need to move to East Anglia. Motorway free (apart from a ickle bit of Cambs, but the M11 only has 2 lanes - that ain't a proper motorway!)
Katy Posted 7 August 2009 Posted 7 August 2009 You need to move to East Anglia. Motorway free (apart from a ickle bit of Cambs, but the M11 only has 2 lanes - that ain't a proper motorway!) Or Lincolnshire, it's all about the A1.
Corky Posted 7 August 2009 Posted 7 August 2009 You need to move to East Anglia. Motorway free (apart from a ickle bit of Cambs, but the M11 only has 2 lanes - that ain't a proper motorway!) A47? A11?
dandannieldanok Posted 7 August 2009 Posted 7 August 2009 All you need is a bit of tolerance, or even better stick to public transport. If everyone who moaned about the state of the roads went on public transport then there would be far less trouble.
Katy Posted 7 August 2009 Posted 7 August 2009 A47? A11? They aren't Mways are they? If it has an 'M' at the beginning it's a Motorway, or it has a (M) if it's within an 'A' road i.e A1(M)etc
Corky Posted 7 August 2009 Posted 7 August 2009 the 'A' bit's the clue there, as in A-roads They aren't Mways are they? If it has an 'M' at the beginning it's a Motorway, or it has a (M) if it's within an 'A' road i.e A1(M)etc Oh dear me.

If everyone who moaned about the state of the roads went on public transport then there would be far less trouble. out of interest, how do i get my bread and milk when the nearest shop is 5 miles away and there are no buses? there's not even a bus stop, for the non-existant, buses to stop at.

Lamby Posted 7 August 2009 Posted 7 August 2009 There wernt any traffic at 10:30pm on the M3 last Sat, had a good laugh at the people caught up in the traffic on the M25 going the other way to me today
Tommeh Posted 7 August 2009 Posted 7 August 2009 Agreed they are bollocks, Clarkson said something on Top Gear the other week about if you have a crap car you can't care about driving and if you don't care about driving....why drive and ruin it for the rest of us? Them compared it to cooking, nobody forces you to cook just like drive. The amount of times I go out in the early hours to escape these everyday morons is ridiculous.
Lamby Posted 7 August 2009 Posted 7 August 2009 I got overtaken by a Austin Metro on the M3 yesterday <_< Another thing that annoys me about motorways is everyone who overtakes you decides to have a nice long look at you while passing you, point of this?
Daggers Posted 7 August 2009 Author Posted 7 August 2009 There was a guy I past who was attempting to drive a Ferrari. What's the frigging point of one of them in this country? He was pissed on by a girl on a GS500. And I have a car - it would have taken three times longer to leave the jam. And East Anglia is shit. It's a fact in books.

They're glaring at you whilst muttering expletives under their breath because of your atrocious driving. Either that or they think you look like a complete tool and can't resist turning to look and have a giggle.

I assume your statement was ironic - seeing as how you come from Brum?
Zingari Posted 8 August 2009 Posted 8 August 2009 Too many common people own cars these days, that's the trouble . When the M1 opened in Leicester in the 60s , I regularly used to go for a spin in the Jag and rarely drop below the ton until I got past Scratchwood . I blame the socialists
stez Posted 8 August 2009 Posted 8 August 2009 Have you never watched 'The Good Life'? i'm not milking the hamster!
