Well I've seen it all now, a couple spooning on the M25.

I was driving an HGV anti-clockwise near the A41 Aylesbury Jcn, on the limiter in lane 1 of 4, passing a VW people carrier, sat in the outside lane doing 45 mph. Lanes 2 & 3 empty.

WTF is he doing ? , me thinks.

So I looked across, to see an Indian couple, the woman sat in the passenger seat and spooning lunch from a Tupperware box, into (presumably) her husband's gob, whilst he's driving, like a baby in a high chair.

Nearly as good as the SAC I completed on Teams during Covid lockdown, with the archetypal boy racer sat there for the entire 6 hours, scrolling on his phone, for everyone to see. And at the end, the lady hosting the course said " I'm glad to say that you've all passed" redcard

You should come to India. What you saw was trivial!! :-0 I've seen around 12+ crammed into a car, all passing pots of food round and trying to eat with nowhere to use your elbows.

Give over - I watched as my wife did one - whole thing was 2.5hrs and they were only actually engaged in the course for about an hour, the rest of the time was checking in and a break.

The in person courses before COVID were 4 hours.
The online courses since then were a bit over 2 hours.

I did an online one in December 2023 and it took about 2 hours after allowing for sign-in time and a break in the middle.

Are you sure OP, maybe it was a Tiffin, Dabba, or Bentobox; after visiting Sammy Singh’s, Cambridge, procuring a tiffin full of steaming hot Dahl Tadka, plus fresh Chapatti’s, there’s no way, I’m getting all the way home to Bottisham without Mrs. DG stuffing a couple of gob fulls of steaming hot goodness in my trap, while hooning along the A1303.

Details matter.

Need to get yourself a taller cab OP , used to see some fabulous exhibitions along the A30 back along . The wives/partners seemed to get a kick from entertaining either themselves or another during the summer traffic jams for all to see .

I saw a white man with his phone to his ear completely oblivious to everyone around him. People do illegal stuff as they know they'll get away with it.

How did you know they were Indian? Did they show you their passports?

I would happily spend the rest of my working life with a sort of smart sideways camera doing people for being on phones on ANY road, it would be the easiest income you have ever had on a commission basis, you would probably only have to work a few hours each week it is that common. STILL
