New to me but very astute indeed! Like he says, let's brand these messages using hot irons onto the foreheads of morons.

Doesn't this comment on his mobile phone page undermine the anti-middle-lane moron page?

I'm on about the idiots who think that they can't be seen illegally using the phone if they slow down and hide in the inside lane. For pete's sake - it's more obvious, apart from the HGVs and beardy caravanners, who else needs to be in the inside lane?

I think he's being facetious.

Orginally said by: How motorways work [quote]After a couple of minutes a lady in a black Citroen C2 drove up to my bumper and proceeded to beep, expecting me to close the gap so she could be 2 cars nearer to home. Pointless. I stood my ground. After several aggressive horn-blasts she ventured off onto the motorway like a spoilt lunatic and cut up someone ahead in the queue. As I passed her later in the inside lane I beeped and waved my hands in a "what the f*** are you on?" gesture. Bad idea. She was clearly defective in the brain department, and proceeded to spout abuse through what must have been her mouth. Needless to say I gave just as much abuse back, after seeing nothing but red. How could someone get so worked up because of a 10m gap? These people are the scum of the motorways. [/quote]

To be honest, he doesn't sound any different from the people he is spouting off at . Atb Derek.

The gismo picture is fantastic ^_^

I did actually find a car with xenon lights that worked.I didnt get to see what it was.At first I thought it had blue tinted bulbs until I was stopped at the lights and saw they were HID bulbs. I've never seen a car with HID lights that didnt fry my retinas before but I can tell you they exist.

Excellent, Smithers.

My colleagues and I do a large number of motorway miles, so this should raise some motorway smiles!

some mixed responses - good on the majority!

(I write the site)

I am hypocritical too I must admit, and I wrote the "queues" page when I got home after the incident. I've amended the mistakes now. I have to say that the queuing lady wound me up something chronic.

if you have any other suggestions let me know (lit fag butts out of the window is one I have been told about)

Young?! Thanks!
