A Corsa Limited Edition which had gained a flat tyre. The driver decided the best thing to do is crawl along a 60mph road with his hazards on. Can't imagine that did the car much good.
I'm not sure if he was driving to a tyre place nearest was about 2 miles away (was on Saturday so open) or the next layby which was about 1/2 mile away.

<sigh> Its the M25... London / Paris Ring [1] rules apply. Use all the lanes, make progress, go...


[1] slightly ruined by the speed cameras that came in some years ago.

Two in one incident...Chap in a TT this morning (T28 ALN) who slowed down to 10mph on a NSL to let someone (I didn't catch the make of car) join the carriageway when there was just me and one more car behind him. Road was totally clear after that. If he'd just continued at 60mph everyone would've gone about their business a little quicker.

Other knob was the joiner who didn't move when TT originally flashed and waited until he was almost at a complete stop to join the carriageway.

Other than that, still a relatively pleasant drive to work with the easter hols still having an effect smile

Seven people have come to see the Megane Scenic I have for sale for £300

Two wanted something concourse.
One didn't like the fact a fifteen year old Renault had rust.
Three said they'd come back but never did.
One wanted to part exchange a Corsa that looked like they had just dug it out of a field and smelled like it had a corpse in the boot.

If I advertise it for £600 I'll get a better class of time waster. hehe
Had the "I'll give you £100, good offer because it's only £30 a ton for scrap at the moment" lot yet? banghead
After the three day valet I gave the interior it owes me more than that in time alone. hehe

Why do women make a fuss about leaving the toilet seat up but are happy to drive around in a kiddie ball pit on wheels?

Seriously I found all kinds of crap in there. The usual uneaten congealed sweets, trodden in biscuits, fast food wrappers, containers and food with supporting receipts dating back to 2004 not to mention a maggot riddled dead bird and two eights of Cannabis resin in there.

Anyone on this forum from social services, next time you're sent out to inspect a home look at the car first.

I always clean cars out when I buy them since I found Heroin in a the boot of a Golf. I handed that find into the Police and the investigation lead to twenty two arrests and over £250,000 worth of drugs off the streets. I wore a biohazard suit when I cleaned the Scenic out. hurl

This "after you, Claude" deceleration to an almost stop happens so, so often. It's a game to predict it now.

Damn him for trying to get out of the carriageway. Perhaps he knew the layby was there and decided that was a safer place both to stop and to change the tyre.

Driving, nay crawling, with a flat tyre would generally not do his car any harm at all. They're not made of soft cheese, you know.

Finding somewhere safe to stop would be a lot better than changing a tyre on a main road. It's better to hold people up a little and risk damaging your car a little than hold everyone up a lot and risk getting hit by someone not paying attention.

Also might be they didn't like/want the car and were trying to be polite at that moment?

I know you might say "what would you expect for £300 etc." but might be they were curious to see it was really a £300 shed or it was just priced like that for a quick sale?

Of course if you said it was a piece of st on the ad and included pictures of all the rust spots etc. they've go no excuse hehe

The bare-faced cheek of idiot drivers. Like the stupid bint who nudged the back of my car whilst making a rather half arsed attempt at parking (going in forward when a parallel park would have been better, mounting the kerb because the angle was wrong... And not knowing the length of her car, thus using my bumper as a brake).
I know she hit the car, because I was sat in it as she did so.
Yes, it was barely a kiss... As she completed her manoeuvre, I got out and looked over the bumper. No damage, it's a non-event.
She gets out of the car, I'm about to say something along the lines of "no harm done... " but barely get time as she launches straight into "I didn't touch it - I would have felt it. "
I'm aghast, that she could deny it with a straight fking face when I was sat in the fking car at the moment of impact! Take some bloody responsibility for your ham-fisted actions, ffs.
And as she walked away, still denying it, she has the audacity to shout at me "learn how to drive".
I know this feeling...
I was parked in the services once, whilst my wife took my young son to the loo I waited in the car in the car park, and I notice a growling engine behind, just as I turn there is a slight nudge of an impact, some young girl in a new mini on a private plate gets out, I get out to check for damage, look at her, and see there is no damage, so I mention quite politely since I am relieved at seeing no damage that she has hit me, she just shrugs her shoulders and wanders off, no sorry, not a care in the world. I suppose it was a non event but if there had been damage would she have cared? Blamed me? who knows...
I was sitting in my car in a Tesco car park when a woman in an Audi A4 reversed into me - hard enough to move my car. I got out at once to speak to her but she just shook her head at me and left at a rate of knots.

I'd have made more of it if I hadn't been driving a Volvo 740 estate and it was my (steel beam like) bumper she hit with her rear wing... Volvo undamaged, Audi left with a well fked wing laughlaugh

Three scenarios to consider.

One/ I didn't look, find the drugs; got pulled over later and the Police find it. "It was there when I bought the car officer" would have a one in a million chance of keeping me out of prison.

Two/ I dispose or destroy it. Criminals walk the streets and the drugs they continue to sell cause misery to all concerned.

Three/ I offer to sell it back, they agree only to turn up in force and stab/shoot/bludgeon me to death because I know too much and take the drugs anyway.

Personally I feel I did the right thing and would not hesitate to do the same again.

Before Christmas there was a chap who I reported for driving like he was drunk only to find he was stoned on some of the boot full of cannabis he was transporting.

at the time I said:
Report a suspected drink driver today and save a life tomorrow.
Any bottom feeders who are offended by that or even go so far as to call me a "grass"; it's only because they have something to hide themselves. People who say "leave well alone" and "it doesn't do you any harm" are wrong. Doing nothing about it can mean you are as much to blame as those who do it.

Where the hell do you live? Have you considered moving somewhere that you won't see such drama every day?

Probably live longer

When it gets to 15 c , the blokes who think its suddenly a great idea to walk around the town centre in flip flops, shorts and wife-beater/t-shirt.

I saw one chap earlier, dressed like he was walking along a beach in 30 C Greece , rather than shopping around town on just a vaguely mild day.

Knobber!!
