This car with the "hilarious" stickers



Not only does the lack on punctuation annoy me, but it also had one severely deflated rear tyre
Any chance the BiB might pull that over for offensive language? Considering that some folks got pulled up for having the image of two humping rhinos on the spare wheel cover on Suzuki "jeeps" you'd think that was worthy of a quick chat.
I'd like to think they'd have a word. The owner's either got an inferiority complex or thinks his sticker is hilarious. Or both
I'm sure that will go down a treat on Heart FM's Facepslm page.

Sadly, I don't have a Facepalm account.

I may have found the ultimate knob yesterday. I entered the roundabout with this view: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=53.375... to find a young woman attempting to reverse back onto the roundabout from the slip road to the left having realised she'd gone the wrong way furious Despite getting blasts from the horn of every car that passed her she wouldn't give up, even though she could have simply travelled to the next roundabout, crossed over the dual carriageway and driven back to where she had come from. Astonishing.

Maybe I was unaware of something ahead, but on the M5 tonight there was a police 4x4 in the outside lane for a good chunk, over taking nothing, doing about 60-65, so all other traffic bunched up. Not sure what that was about.
Maybe they had seen too many horrific accidents and were trying to slow the traffic down for a while. See 'Motorway Cops' for too many examples.

Maybe the officers had seen too many horrific accidents and were just tying to slow down the traffic flow for a while. See 'Motorway Cops' for numerous examples.

Jesus, that just smacks of mental problems having that in your rear window, if they are so bothered about being overtaken then
buy something other than a turdy old Zafira, and why would you want to annoy someone you have never met ?

Sometimes someone may want to/be able to go faster than you are going, its a fact of life.

And, me being bloody minded I would have to get past it.

Agreed. Throw the book at them I say, Heart FM indeed! That says enough on its own.

it signals an aggressive attitude; the sort that causes accidents. I'd imagine they should absolutely have a word, even if it isn't illegal.

Utter tosser in a white 4x4 'BV14 U**' at eight o'clock this morning, M1 northbound at Newport Pagnall - torrential rain, I'm in a group of vehicles taking it steady at around 50mph as we all want to get home in one piece, there are two cars in front of me in the middle lane with a large gap ahead until the next group of vehicles, matey in the 4x4 comes flying past us in the outside lane, l estimate at about 80-ish, just as he passes the car at the front he loses it, his tail end goes round but he just catches it, narrowly avoiding the central reservation then it goes again, he spins round just ahead of that front car then veers off to the left spinning again, just missing the front car in the inside lane and ends up stationary beside the services slip road facing south. Shocking to see, I dare say it was all caught on CCTV, hope so anyway. He must have been shaken 'but not stirred' though, a bit further on as I'm passing J15 he comes flying past me again doing about 90! Utter twunt.

Hopefully when the worst (and no doubt inevitable) happens he won't take anyone else with him

What's wrong with that? Better than pootling around on cold tyres and having a massive accident. Good on him, sounds like a sensible and responsible driver thumbup

To the tt in the Citreon that undertook me at Tattenham Corner in Epsom then managed to almost crash into the car in front in the lane he undertook me as he was desperate to get ahead of me. Managed all of nothing as the lights went red and i pulled up in the next lane to him. Wouldn't look out the drivers window at all and was making out he was talking to his 'lady friend'

As lights go green, Mr tt decides he will drift into my lane, flash my lights and im the one who gets the finger........manages to indicate right for the turn off as his 'lady friend' hangs out of the window ready to shout something at me. Didnt get a chance as i drove past shouting 'car wker!' hehe

But still...what a fking !

I've never found any proof that ever happened. Have you?

Saw on one of those TV cop chase shows, a lad had something like "Fast as F***" on his tatty old golf.
Got pulled for something else, but was made to take it off on the spot under the public order act iirc.

Did he also have a humping rhino wheel cover, just so your otherwise fascinating anecdote is slightly relevant?
